When taken via a lipotropic injection, it is converted into homocysteine and SAM
Even neurological conditions like Alzheimers and Parkinsons seem to respond positively to IF, and several studies have shown (4) that IF may actually protect neurons from genetic and epigenetic stress factors, meaning it can essentially slow down brain aging
Two Danish researchers, Lars Thim, a protein chemist based at Novo Research Institute in Copenhagen and Alister Moody at Novo Nordisk, subsequently identified the full sequence of the peptide
Additionally, other studies have shown that collagen peptides significantly improved UV-induced photoaging in mouse skin models by activating the TGF-/Smad pathways, promoting the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and collagen, and downregulating MMPs [36, 37]
It has been extensively studied for its potential to accelerate healing, support tissue regeneration, and modulate inflammation, making it one of the most in-demand compounds in performance and recovery research
