An example is copper-dependent enzymes lysly oxidase (cross-links collagen and elastin to rebuild connective tissues), and superoxide dismutase (major antioxidant enzyme to protect against damage/aged cells), with both contributing to collagen formation, antioxidant defenses, and extracellular matrix rebuilding
Thyroid dysfunction: Some reports have noted changes in thyroid function in association with high-dose glutathione administration
What To Expect Most people experience no side effects at all
The major growth driver for this segment is the increasing focus on metabolic research on the cellular redox balance, where oxidized glutathione plays a pivotal role in assessing oxidative stress and cellular repair mechanisms
This same study showed that astaxanthins effects are due to its inhibition of collagenases (the enzymes that break down collagen), impacting inflammatory mediators, ROS reduction and resulting in potent anti-wrinkle and antioxidant effects.[vii] If all of this isnt convincing enough, NASA is now evaluating the growth and use of HP in space for many potential benefits, of which the effects of radiation exposure is key [viii]
