Glutathione binds to and neutralizes oxidative compounds such as carbon radicals, hydroperoxides, superoxide, nitric oxide, peroxynitrites, and lipid peroxides.* [3] Mitochondria are the energy-producers of each cell and depend on glutathione for protection.* When free radicals damage mitochondria, their activity becomes sluggish, and they can contribute to further mitochondrial oxidation
