Glutathiones Antioxidant Properties A glutathione deficiency in the body is linked to cognitive decline, mitochondrial dysfunction, and other age-associated degeneration of health functions.* Recent research suggests that nutritional interventions, including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals through diet and nutritional supplements, can help maintain an optimal circulating level of glutathione in the body.* 1 Glutathione exerts its antioxidant effects primarily through reduction , conjugation , and interaction with other antioxidants.* The following table highlights glutathiones antioxidant properties and how it eliminates toxins from the body and helps maintain the bodys antioxidant defense system.* 2 In addition, glutathione is involved in other beneficial cellular processes, such as protein folding, degradation of proteins with disulfide bonds, cell cycle regulation and proliferation, and beneficial cell death (apoptosis).* Although glutathione is a critical antioxidant and is endogenously produced by the body, its absorption is generally poor when taken orally as a supplement
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) or ubiquinone is a lipophilic cofactor in the mitochondrial ETC of the OXPHOS system that exerts powerful antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, immuno-modulatory and anti-inflammatory effects in cellular metabolism 536
Injections are the standard supplementation route for many post-operative patients
