From its purported role in extracellular matrix modulation, gene expression resetting, anti-inflammatory/antioxidant signaling, to tissue repair mechanisms, the peptide provides a unique convergence of metal-ion chemistry, peptide biology, and regenerative mechanisms
See what a recent study showed in the Soy section of our Protein Powders and Drinks Review, which includes comparisons of whey, casein, soy, rice, pea and other forms of protein
However, anti-doping regulations evolve, and metabolic modulators are an area of ongoing regulatory attention
