It is considerably smaller than proteins and many hormonal peptides, but its biological behaviour still depends on sequence, terminal groups, salt form, formulation and degradation
The enhanced production and release of ROS by activated inflammatory cells, macrophages, neutrophils and endothelial cells [23], are the main source of exogenous ROS
Consequently, it ranks third globally in terms of its occurrence and second regarding cancer-related death rates [3]
Abstract Background: Although oxidative stress is known to contribute to cancer, and endogenous and exogenous antioxidants are thought to prevent tumorigenesis by suppressing oxidative stress-induced DNA damage, antioxidants have also been reported to show negative effects on tumor formation, necessitating characterization of the causal associations between antioxidants and cancer risk
The key point is that the mechanism discussion is tied to a defined copper peptide
They know how effective it is and it's a totally natural substance that they can't patent and financially cripple the American public with
