A second important variant is AHK-Cu (alanyl-histidyl-lysine copper), a tripeptide-copper complex that has shown particular promise for stimulating hair follicle activity [2]
Valine can be degraded into simpler compounds in the body, but in people with a rare genetic condition called maple syrup urine disease, a faulty enzyme interrupts this process and can prove fatal if untreated
Evidence associated with KLOW comes from separate research on each ingredient, much of which involves cultured cells, isolated tissues or animal models
