Observational and controlled studies have shown frequent micronutrient deficiencies in patients with HT (104)
Collagen (6g) Supports hydration and elasticity
This upregulation led to an augmentation in glutamine metabolism and a subsequent promotion of cell proliferation [32]
Consistent with these mechanistic insights, immunometabolism studies highlight that lactate/lactylation promote checkpoint programs (e.g., PD-L1, B7-H3) and immune dysfunction, facilitating Treg/TAM/MDSC accumulation and cytotoxic T-cell exhaustion [127, 167,168,169]
Sun exposure damages collagen and elastin fibers through a process called photoaging, which explains why sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and hands typically show earlier signs of loosening
