Avoid layering GHK-Cu with strong actives like retinoids or AHAs in the same routine to reduce the risk of irritation
Because of the substantial amounts of brain glutathione and its rapid turnover under homeostatic control, we hypothesized that glutathione is a relevant reservoir of glutamate, and could influence synaptic excitability
