Glutathione is your body's main antioxidant, sitting at the center of a three-part system where it recycles vitamin C, which recycles vitamin E to protect cell membranes. Antioxidants cycle between active and spent states as they neutralize free radicals, passing the oxidative burden down the line.
Glutathione is an antioxidant that we make in our body, and it sits in the middle of a three-part antioxidant system. And so glutathione helps to recycle vitamin C, second antioxidant. Vitamin C helps to recycle vitamin E, and vitamin E is in fat membranes such as your cholesterol membranes, your cell membranes, etc. The thing to remember is that they go through a cycle called a redox cycle between oxidized and reduced. And so when they're reduced and they take on a free radical. Radical, they become oxidized.
