Significantly elevated homocysteine has been observed in people suffering with cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurodegeneration (Nelson et al, 2016) and frailty in old age (Guaita et al, 2021) and elevated homocysteine is associated with a reduced blood flow to the small vessels in the brain (reduced microcirculation) (Hassan et al, 2004) which is an important connection because a reduced microcirculation may increase the risk of developing Alzheimers disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Parkinsons disease (Erdener and Dalkara, 2019)
note that daily dosing is only for the activation phase of the GLOW protocol (weeks 1-4) , decreasing to 5x per week for the remodeling phase (weeks 5-8), and further reduced to 2-3x per week during maintenance (weeks 9-12)
These peptides bring unique benefits to the table, from fat loss and anti-aging to cellular energy optimization
