How Homspera works
The endogenous receptor for Substance P is neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor, NK1R). Substance P has been shown to stimulate cellular growth in cell culture [2], and it was shown that Substance P could promote wound healing of non-healing ulcers in humans. [3] It has also been shown to reverse diabetes in mice.
