Copper Peptides: A Versatile Ally in Healing and Health

Copper peptides, small fragments of proteins combined with a copper ion, have emerged as a potent tool in the health and wellness landscape, particularly in the skincare and medical industries. These naturally occurring complexes are renowned for their remarkable ability to promote healing, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and act as antioxidants, making them invaluable [...]
Do you have a CBS Mutation?

Do you have a CBS Mutation?

Genetic research has uncovered a specific gene mutation known as the cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) mutation. This mutation accelerates the activity of the CBS enzyme, a crucial player in the transsulfuration pathway. This pathway, pivotal in liver function, oversees the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, leading towards the synthesis of either taurine or glutathione — but [...]

Unlocking the Mystery: How Everyday Foods Influence Bladder Health and Oxalate Metabolism

Unlocking the Mystery: How Everyday Foods Influence Bladder Health and Oxalate Metabolism

In my clinical practice, I've observed a fascinating pattern: patients grappling with high levels of oxalates often exhibit elevated benzoic acid levels, coupled with diminished hippuric acid. This correlation is particularly notable among those suffering from interstitial cystitis, a chronic condition characterized by bladder pain and discomfort. Understanding the interplay of these compounds in our [...]
