Cons: Low absorption (1020%) means you often need significantly higher doses to achieve comparable injectable effects
The copper ion binding that gives this compound its distinctive blue color and biological activity also makes it sensitive to factors that wouldn't affect simpler peptides
Eat lean proteins, vegetables, and fruits, but avoid certain foods
Peptide-based weight-loss treatments such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) are only available by prescription
The characteristic blue colour indicates proper copper(II) complexation
