Glutathione helps maintain the integrity of the mitochondria , which are the "powerhouses" of your cells responsible for producing energy
In the nucleus, following heterodimer complex formation with transcription factors, like small Maf proteins (G/F/K) and c-Jun, Nrf2 complexes bind to the antioxidant response element (ARE), a regulatory enhancer region within gene promoters that upregulate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defense processes (Cuadrado et al., 2019
It is virtually impossible to escape from free radical damage, which is why it is so important to protect the body with a continuous supply of defence nutrients to help offset the potential cellular damage
