Episode notes
Antioxidants Work As An Interconnected Network
- Newer antioxidants like ergothioneine and ubiquinol join an interlinked recycling network of vitamin C, glutathione, NAD and coenzyme Q.
- Maintaining this antioxidant cycle supports anti-ageing and cellular repair.
Support Glutathione With Simple Nutrients
- Support glutathione recycling by ensuring adequacy of vitamin C, niacin (B3) and ubiquinol or coenzyme Q.
- Consider cost-effective options like ubiquinol rather than expensive patented NAD precursors first.
Commercial Forces Shape Medical Research
- Big Pharma has shifted emphasis toward vaccines and preventive markets because blockbuster drug pipelines are drying up.
- That commercial logic shapes research priorities and regulatory incentives.
