A Summary of Glutathione Glutathione, known as the master antioxidant within cells, is a tripeptide made of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine [1]
The 2018 Pickart and Margolina gene expression review (DOI: 10.3390/ijms19071987) documented GHK-Cus modulation of genes relevant to follicular biology, including growth factor signaling pathways and cellular differentiation genes
Similar protective effects can be observed across numerous types of nerve cells by inhibiting GSK-3 (Hu et al., 2016) and activating ERK (Zhang et al., 2017d) to reverse oxidative damage
+Commonly discussed benefits Strong support for muscle protein synthesis and hyperplasia in research Discussed for recovery from heavy training and injury Nutrient partitioning toward muscle tissue Much longer active window than native IGF-1 +Research highlights IGF-1 LR3 is one of the most-studied IGF-1 analogues in muscle biology, with extensive cell-culture and rodent literature on satellite-cell activation, hypertrophy, and tendon repair
