Glutathione is an important antioxidant that occurs naturally in every cell of the body, providing protection against free radicals and peroxides
As a combined medicinal treatment for viral infections such as COVID-19 or influenza, administration of GSH or NAC in conjunction with established anti-viral treatment has been found to improve lymphocyte response, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce cellular oxidative injury (Tieu et al., 2023)
Together, they hit the pathway at two different points, producing synergistic effects that exceed what either achieves alone
Beyond skin-related effects, GHK-Cu is being studied for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, helping reduce oxidative stress and support healthier cellular function
