She explains that menopausal women often show an increase of antioxidant capacity as well as lower glutathione levels along with high levels of oxidative damage. According to Tennant, this rise in antioxidant capacity may be compensatorya protective response as the body ramps up defenses to counteract mounting oxidative stress.Since glutathione levels decrease while oxidative stress increases, its reasonable to consider supplementing with glutathione or NAC, alongside lifestyle interventions like exercise, diet, sleep, stress management, and possibly hormone replacement therapy, Tennant says
"Better" depends on individual response, tolerance, medical history, and specific metabolic goals

GHK-Cu's contribution to musculoskeletal healing involves regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs), which control the balance between collagen synthesis and degradation during remodeling
Both peptides and proteins are made up of amino acids, but peptides are easier for the body to absorb because they are smaller and more broken down than proteins
