FOXO4-DRI is a D-retro-inverso peptide, meaning its amino acid sequence is reversed and uses mirror-image D-amino acids, making it resistant to enzymatic degradation while maintaining binding activity
Type 1 is the isoform primarily responsible for DHT production in the scalp, making this a targeted effect where it matters most
The copper complex has stability characteristics that depend on the formulation environment, and a formulation outside the appropriate pH range can affect the integrity of the copper complex over the formulations shelf life
