When glutathione levels are depleted by chronic illness, this detoxification pathway stalls, leading to a buildup of metabolic waste that can trigger widespread inflammation and exacerbate symptoms like brain fog and severe fatigue
Glutathione inhibits tyrosinase to prevent overproduction of melanin, and Vitamin C helps to restore glutathione to its active state and protects the skin from UV damage through oxidative stress
Because of that, plants developed complexed ROS control system based on enzymes (like glutathione reductase-GR, glutathione S-transferase-GST, glutathione peroxidase-GPX) and scavenging non-enzymatic hydrophilic molecules like ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) (Noctor and Foyer, 1998)
182 It is a relatively stable compound capable of releasing H 2 S in a slow and sustained manner
It is synthesized by cells from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine
