It is also a source of phycocyanin, a pigment with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
The mechanisms, evidence base, and expected outcomes are fundamentally different
Cysteine is the "rate-limiting" amino acid for glutathione production, meaning your body can only make as much glutathione as it has cysteine
In trials analyzing the addition of an injectable GLP-1 RA, dual GIP and GLP-1 RA, or insulin in people needing further glucose lowering, glycemic efficacies of GLP-1 RAs and the dual GIP and GLP-1 RA were similar to or greater than that of basal insulin (123130)
Once triggered, many factors were involved in the development of RA, including both cellular factors like osteoclasts, synovial fibroblasts, T cells, B cells, and soluble factors like interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), etc
Its efficacy appears comparable to conventional antidepressants in certain settings, with superior tolerability and quality-of-life outcomes
