Recent research suggests that reduced glutathione may be an even more effective antioxidant than vitamins C and E, and it is considered the master antioxidant. GSH protects tissues by neutralizing free radicals and improves the immune system by promoting antigen presentation and stimulating CD8 cells
Cancer resistance, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and longevity
All of those require a known target
What they found: No serious adverse events triggered by AOD-9604 The most frequent side effects: headache (~5 %), occasional fatigue, at the same frequency as placebo No changes in IGF-1 levels, glycemia, blood pressure, heart rate No signals of cardiovascular, hepatic or renal toxicity Safety profile comparable to placebo Why it matters: From a safety perspective, AOD-9604 is one of the safest peptides in the clinical registry
24 Here we demonstrate that both of these obstacles are surmountable by using a 1 H-MRS editing method to measure CNS GSH levels, and a noninvasive (in)GSH administration strategy
