This protection is mainly accomplished by phase II detoxifying enzymes belonging to two antioxidant systems, namely thioredoxin and glutathione systems, which use hydrophilic thiol-containing molecules (thioredoxin and glutathione, respectively), as electron donors to generate conjugated metabolites (Arnr and Holmgren, Phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase and membrane protection Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase 4, or GPx4, is a member of glutathione peroxidases family of selenoproteins, most of which bear a selenocystein as catalytically active amino acid, which confers a more efficient reaction with peroxide substrates (Nauser et al., GPx4 is also peculiar amongst glutathione peroxidases because of its additional regulatory functions
Furthermore, additional possible antiviral modes of action include inhibiting viral multiplication, reducing viral mRNA expression levels, producing changes in viral genome conformation (Memariani et al., 2020), inhibiting the viruss cytotoxic properties, and inhibiting virally mediated cell fusion (Mohanty and Murhekar, 2023), and inhibit viral bundling (Peng et al., 2023)

This seminal finding initiated over four decades of research establishing GHK-Cus regenerative properties across multiple tissue types and biological systems
There's no pilling or redness in sight
The benefits are immediate but invisible, measured not in what improves but in what damage does not occur
