The mechanism involves stimulating over 300 different genes associated with tissue repair and remodeling, fibroblast activation and collagen synthesis, epidermal basal stem cell viability, an anti-inflammatory effect, an antioxidant effect and stimulation of microvascular growth

The Melanin Shift There are two main types of melanin in the body: eumelanin (which is dark brown or black) and pheomelanin (which is yellow or red)
and actually SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19, all are characterized by persistent inflammation, continuous production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and oxidative stress that predominate over the antioxidant defenses (GSH and free radical scavenger enzymes) resulting in cell/tissue/organ aging associated with early (premature) chronic inflammation/inflammaging. We propose that, although inflammaging was introduced for the aging process (276289), it could also apply to early (premature) tissue and organ aging associated with cell and tissue damage caused by excessive oxidative stress and lack of adequate antioxidant defenses, especially low GSH levels, in younger individuals
