It has been extensively studied for its effects on telomerase activation an enzyme that helps lengthen telomeres, the DNA sequences that protect chromosomes from damage during replication
When tissue is damaged by injury, inflammation or oxidative stress extracellular matrix proteins (notably collagen and SPARC) are broken down, releasing peptide fragments including GHK
These are the cells, which are an integral part of wound healing, and are responsible for storing extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen, fibrin, elastin, etc
TB-500s larger molecular weight suggests oral bioavailability is limited, making subcutaneous or intramuscular administration standard for research purposes
When used in combination with diet and exercise, lipotropic injections help to enhance fat loss
