Science
Mechanism of Action
This peptide is believed to activate mitochondrial synthesis and enhance antioxidant effects by increasing PGC-1α expression. It also appears to boost type I collagen and reduce elastase and MMP-1 activity, supporting anti-aging pathways.

Key findings
- 01 A structurally related peptide formulation (Gal2-Pep) showed no cytotoxicity on skin cells below 100 μM, maintaining an 88% cell survival rate. This related peptide demonstrated dose-dependent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity, sustained over 50% ROS scavenging activity for four weeks, and positively influenced mitochondrial membrane potential. It also increased PGC-1α and type I collagen expression, while decreasing elastase activity and MMP-1 expression.
