The blockbuster weight loss medications that have transformed conversations about obesity and metabolic healthsemaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), tirzepatide (Zepbound or Mounjaro), and retatrutide (a newcomer on the block thats not yet FDA approved but highly anticipated for approval next year)are all peptide-based drugs
In our recent study the geroprotective effect of long-term Epitalon administration in female CBA mice was demonstrated.54 The number of mice that survived the age of 24 months increased 4 times under Epitalon influence as compared to the controls treated with saline
Kidney function biomarkers, including creatinine clearance and urea levels, shift towards younger reference values, indicating the restoration of tissue homeostasis
This compound is a well-known extremolyte a type of small organic molecule that can protect cells under extreme, virtually [un]inhabitable conditions.7 In addition to protecting the skin from intense stress, ectoine also appears to improve the stability of various peptides by strengthening their hydration shell.8 Some research suggests that GHK-Cu (the copper peptide used in most copper peptide products) may have insufficient stability and could be prone to decomposition by skin proteases.9 Theoretically, then, the inclusion of ectoine in Allies of Skin Copper Tripeptide & Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum might be able to promote better stability and efficacy of the peptide
