Its origin as a gastric-derived peptide, its exceptional stability in the acidic GI environment, its oral administration viability, and its breadth of published GI research across multiple conditions and animal models make it the most comprehensively supported gut healing peptide available
ALA is preferentially absorbed by pilosebaceous units, and sebocytes metabolize ALA to light-sensitive protoporphyrin IX (PpIX).[65,66] When exposed to light at a suitable dose and wavelength, PpIX forms cytotoxic free radicals that result in cell destruction and apoptosis of sebocytes
54 These species-specific patterns reflect underlying physiological characteristics, including the cell envelope, efflux systems, and thiol metabolism
Among all patients with diabetes, 8090% have type 2 diabetes, which is characterized by a reduced secretion of insulin by the beta cells in the pancreas or insulin resistance
