Some peptides have solid mechanistic rationale and early human data worth paying attention to
Treating vitamin b12 deficiency or folic acid deficiency anaemia : Most cases of vitamin B12 and folate deficiency can be easily treated with injections or tablets to replace the missing vitamins
Its core vulnerability is chemical: the active sulfhydryl group (SH) on cysteine oxidises rapidly on exposure to gastric acid, digestive enzymes, heat, and light
