Because the cysteine thiol oxidises to the disulfide GSSG on air exposure, keep stopper-open time and headspace to a minimum and avoid alkaline solvents, which increase thiolate character and accelerate oxidation
Safety testing was done at concentrations like 0.05% in SPF products and 0.5% in a Human Repeated Insult Patch Test
Whether this compound leads to this adverse outcome in vivo is unknown, as all existing human (Duch et al., 2014) and animal data is limited to short-term exposures and concentrates on its effects on the lung surfactant (Srli et al., 2018)
Growth hormone, growth hormone fragments, growth-hormone-releasing hormone analogues such as CJC-1295 and sermorelin, growth hormone secretagogues such as ipamorelin and ibutamoren, and GH-releasing peptides such as GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 are prohibited at all times
