In non-enzymatic processes, the H 2 O 2 combines with Fe 2+ (e.g., ferritin protein) or Cu 2+ (e.g., ceruplasmin protein) ions in the Fenton reaction, where it accepts an electron from metal ions to form highly reactive (t 1/2 = 10 9 s) HO radical and HO + ion and thus are highly reactivity in the mitochondrial matrix [16]
Together, they work in synergy to: Brighten and even out skin tone Reduce fine lines & wrinkles Improve skin elasticity & hydration Support healthy hair & nails Detoxify and protect against free radicals The Result: Clearer, younger-looking, glowing skin from within!
for this reason, GSH is being investigated as a potential therapeutic method, as it is the main protective mechanism against elevated oxidative stress

In addition to providing protection against oxidative damage, the Trx and GSH systems also play important roles in cell proliferation, redox regulation of gene expression, xenobiotic metabolism, and several other metabolic functions [8,9]
