After entering your bloodstream directly, the vitamin helps your body make red blood cells, maintain nerves, and balance energy levels
The primary molecular actions relevant to skin are: modulation of TGF- signaling (upregulating TGF-1 for collagen I/III synthesis while suppressing TGF-2 to prevent scarring), decorin upregulation for orderly collagen fibril assembly, MMP suppression paired with TIMP upregulation to preserve ECM integrity, and copper-dependent lysyl oxidase activation for collagen crosslinking
Instead, lipotropic formulas work indirectly by supporting metabolic pathways involved in breaking down stored fat
