“GHK-Cu delivers copper specifically to mitochondria, enhancing ATP production and cellular energy.”
No peer-reviewed evidence supports the assertion that GHK-Cu delivers copper specifically to mitochondria or directly enhances ATP production. The strongest biomedical sources show only that GHK-Cu modulates broad cellular copper uptake and gene expression, while mitochondrial copper import relies on dedicated chaperones (COX17, SLC25A3) with no demonstrated role for GHK-Cu. The explicit mitochondria/ATP claims trace back to marketing materials, YouTube videos, and wellness blogs — not controlled experiments or peer-reviewed research.
“Methylene blue has been shown to slow the aging process in humans.”
Methylene blue has not been shown to slow the aging process in humans. Peer-reviewed research describes it as a potential anti-aging candidate based on mechanistic studies and limited preliminary findings — mostly in cells, animals, or small cognitive studies. Key human trials are still ongoing, and authoritative sources like MedicalNewsToday and Harvard Health explicitly note that large-scale human evidence is lacking. The claim's phrasing — "has been shown" — significantly overstates the current science.
