Mutations were identified by alignment of sequenced alleles to the wild-type allele
That does not make every glutathione claim legitimate
They are not simply two names for the same healing peptide. The clearest way to see the divergence is by the kind of neuro-outcome each is best evidenced for: BPC-157 is best supported for peripheral-nerve regeneration and CNS neuroprotection : accelerating axonal regrowth in transected peripheral nerve, sparing tissue and limiting edema after brain and spinal-cord injury, and supporting repair through VEGFR2/NO-mediated angiogenesis, with an additional braingut neuromodulatory layer
Spiking experiments involved addition of known amounts of pure NAD and glutathione compounds individually at different stages of the extraction (Supplementary Table 1), followed by quantification using colorimetric assays
Some of the nutrients capable of increasing the bodys natural ability to synthesize glutathione include N Acetylcysteine (NAC), Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Milk Thistle, B Vitamins (L-methylfolate, Methylcobalamin), Vitamin E (mixed or alpha-tocopherols), Magnesium and Selenium
Peptides can support the process, but they do not replace the fundamentals
