Immunocal Sport is the athlete-focused formula adding L-Citrulline, Beet Root, Tart Cherry, and Magnesium for maximum performance and faster recovery
However, PET is expensive and may not be widely available
What GHK-Cu adds to the formulation: Gene expression modulation across hundreds of genes including collagen genes (Type I, III), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, anti-inflammatory mediators Collagen synthesis stimulation, specifically Type I and Type III collagen the structural proteins of skin, connective tissue, and many other tissues Anti-inflammatory signaling through investigated effects on TNF-, IL-6, and NF-B pathways Copper-peptide chemistry effects including cofactor activity for skin-relevant enzymes Skin-research and hair-research applications (the GHK-Cu literature in these areas is substantial) For the GHK-Cu deep-dive, see Copper Peptides Explained
As a powerful antioxidant, Glutathione plays a role in regulating insulin sensitivity in several ways: Reducing oxidative stress: High levels of oxidative stress can impair insulin signaling pathways and contribute to insulin resistance, a condition where cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to decreased insulin sensitivity
