Goal: Support reduction of fat mass and enhance fat oxidation over time
Quick Answer: Dihexa is a synthetic small molecule developed at Washington State University from angiotensin IV research, often called a peptide despite being more accurately described as a peptidomimetic Despite being commonly called a peptide, Dihexa contains chemical modifications that make it more accurately described as a peptidomimetic small molecule
1 It also functions in: Skeletal development 6 Mineral metabolism 6 Cellular signaling including pancreatic insulin secretion, endothelial function, and cell growth 6 Structural components of phospholipids in membranes, DNA and RNA, and ATP 6 Phosphorylation reactions in the body which are critical to signaling and metabolism 6 Enzymatic processes including energy production and oxygenation of tissues 6 Maintaining total body pH 6 Magnesium Magnesium is one of the most essential cofactors in the human body and is utilized in over 300 metabolic reactions including protein synthesis, cellular signaling, and blood pressure regulation
The left over product of oxidization is called a free radical
