The majority of current studies on Dihexa are preclinical (animal or lab-based), but the findings are compelling: While human data is still emerging, functional medicine practitioners are already seeing anecdotal benefits across multiple domains, including energy and vitality
FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 Glutathione is synthesized in the cytosol of all cells from their precursor amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine by consecutive action of two enzymes: -glutamyl-cysteine (-GluCys) synthetase (also known as glutamate cysteine ligase, GCL) that in a first step uses glutamate and cysteine as a substrate to form the dipeptide -glutamyl-cysteine
GCL is considered the speed limiting enzyme of synthesis since overexpression of GS does not increase GSH levels while overexpression of GCL increases the synthesis of GSH (61) (Figure 3)
Hunter Armstrong, the clean swimmer, won the fifty-metre backstroke, but it wasnt a record
He demonstrated that GHK-Cu modulates metalloproteinases and TIMPs for balanced tissue remodeling, and proved the copper-binding activity is essential for regenerative effects
