Connective Tissue and Glycosaminoglycan Synthesis Wegrowski, Maquart, and Borel published work in 1992 demonstrating that GHK-Cu stimulates sulfated glycosaminoglycan synthesis, extending the picture of its extracellular matrix effects beyond collagen alone
This injection method is used specifically because it boosts glutathione levels in the body faster and more effectively than taking oral supplements
One study on glutathione 300mg twice daily for two months in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) found that supplementation increased levels of antioxidant biomarkers, though, decreases in inflammatory mediators such as IL-8 or TNF Alpha did not reach the level of statistical significance, despite a downward trend
