This inactive form of glutathione can be recycled back into GSH with the help of an enzyme called glutathione reductase
It also helps "re-up" other antioxidants like Vitamin E

Glutathione is fragile in the gut, so swallowing a capsule means a lot of it is broken down before it ever reaches your blood
A trained medical practitioner ensures the right amount is administered, the injection is sterile, and treatment is administered in a clean environment
However, TRT is most effective when paired with a healthy diet that supports your treatment goals
