This is something I talk about often: health begins at the cellular level, and healthy mitochondria are at the heart of that process
Without adequate copper availability, newly synthesized collagen remains weak and prone to degradation, contributing to visible signs of aging and impaired wound healing
By neutralizing free radicals, glutathione protects cells from oxidative stress, promoting cellular health and longevity
Once complexed with Cu(II), the peptide backbone rearranges into a specific square-planar coordination around the copper ion, with donor atoms from the glycine amino terminus, the deprotonated amide nitrogen, the histidine imidazole, and a fourth position (carboxylate or water depending on pH)
Most of the evidence is anecdotal, with users reporting improved recovery from injuries 2 3
