When we don't get enough iron, we may experience: Reduced capacity to exercise and skeletal muscle atrophy, even before iron deficiency anemia (IDA) develops Over time, IDA, resulting in abnormal red blood cell formation and symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, difficulty concentrating, impaired cognitive and immune function, and poor body temperature regulation IDA has also been linked to impaired glucose metabolism---potentially due to poor conversion of proinsulin to active insulin in the body
The reason is straightforward: glutathione, one of the body's most important antioxidant compounds, is made from several amino acids, including cysteine and glycine
The glutathione peroxidases (GPX) are hydroperoxidases essential for maintaining redox balance in cells [6]
GHK-Cu addresses this through multiple pathways
Unfortunately, that simple classification has led many people to underestimate just how important it really is
