Since the rate at which antioxidant enzymes eliminate oxidative free radicals in biological systems far exceeds that of antioxidant small molecules, most current antioxidant therapies focus on the strategy of regulating antioxidant enzymes
Benefit 3: Improved Mood & Sleep The inositol component plays a crucial role in regulating hormone levels and supporting serotonin function
Intracellular activation of nitrofurantoin yields a radical anion that subsequently initiates Nrf2-dependent induction of glutamate-cysteine ligase and consequently a rise in glutathione
