Instead of measuring nutrients floating in your bloodstream, it analyzes whats happening inside your immune cells where real metabolic activity takes place
Under the ROS stimulation, the thin-sophisticated moiety (-SH) of cysteine residues is oxidized to form reversible intramolecular disulfide bonds (R-S-S-R) and sulfinyl groups (R-SOH), or irreversible sulfinic acids (R-SO 2 H) and sulfonic acids (R-SO 3 H) ( As we mentioned earlier, GPX7 does not contain domains bound to GSH, so it cannot participate in redox reactions with GSH as a substrate like other GPX family members

Glutathione is a molecule that is found in each and every cell in the body that is composed of three amino acids [cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine] coming together to make a simple protein, says Nayan Patel, Pharm.D., adjunct faculty at the University Of Southern California School of Pharmacy and author of The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy
The study examined safety parameters and metabolic biomarkers over a 12-week treatment period [2]
