In this segment, the presenter explains that the body’s primary antioxidant system consists of a three‑member redox triplet: glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E. These three work together to shield cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, help regulate key components of the immune system, and provide mutual backup. Because they are biochemically interdependent, they are considered the foundational antioxidants that should be prioritized before adding any stronger or specialized antioxidant supplements.

Glutathione is part of the core triplet of redox substances: vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione. At their base, they help protect our cells from oxidation, free radicals. They help to regulate certain parts of the immune system, and they back each other up. And that's why we always say those 3 come first, and then all the other antioxidants that you can use that are much stronger or different or whatever can go on around them. So it's not one is better than the other, it's just your body is set up biochemically to have these 3 working together.
