This difference in concentration is associated with the absence of catalase inside the mitochondria, what leaves GSH in charge of all inactivation of the hydrogen peroxide generated during the oxidative processes that occur in the mitochondrial matrix (57)
Stress, inflammation, toxins, and nutrient deficiencies can all drain your reserves over time
Glutathione has several functions that make it an essential tool for fighting oxidative stress 1
