It is believed to work by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in producing the darker form of melanin (eumelanin), and shifting the production towards the lighter form (pheomelanin)
It depletes as we age, and replacing glutathione makes sense from the perspective of prevention and optimizing health
The combination of lowering glutamate levels, while also providing adequate or increased micronutrient intake, may alter how the body handles the glutamate challenge, while simultaneously increasing antioxidant function, thereby ameliorating the downstream effects on oxidative stress (100, 101)
The peptide stimulates expression of early growth response 1 (EGR-1) gene, which regulates cytokine and growth factor generation along with early extracellular matrix formation, while simultaneously inducing its repressor NAB2 to prevent excessive angiogenic signaling
