Poor Dietary Intake Vegetarians, particularly those restricting milk and eggs, are at higher risk of B12 deficiency because there are limited plant-based food sources containing B12
So if you took B12 and felt worse, and your blood B12 is elevated, and you have a constellation of symptoms across multiple systems that's three signals pointing toward MCAS as worth ruling out
All the B vitamins that are necessary for metabolism and energy boosting are included in our B-Complex injection
Additionally, because injections bypass the digestive system, they are not subject to the exact breakdown and loss of potency that can occur during digestion
This may be due to copper's ability to enhance the expression of metalloproteinases (MMPs).16 MMPs normally regulate the degradation of collagen, and a specific one, MMP-1, may be responsible for the initiation of collagen fragmentation.17 Supporting this, a 2024 study noted that elevated MMP-1 levels appear to contribute to aging skin and that higher MMP-1 levels in mice led to:18 The loss and fragmentation of dermal collagen fibrils Contracted fibroblast morphology Reduced collagen production Increased expression of pro-inflammatory mediators Additionally, a 2016 study found that GHK-Cu significantly increased gene expression of MMP-1 and MMP-2 at the lowest concentration, which the studys authors considered to be one of the reasons the peptide was able to increase collagen and elastin production.19 So, what this could ultimately mean is that using too much GHK-Cu (or other copper peptides) may in theory increase the skins MMP-1 concentration above the levels involved in healthy collagen production, taking it into the collagen fragmentation and breakdown territory seen in older skin with naturally higher MMP-1 levels
