Since mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation depends on local NADH availability, whereas cytosolic NADPH supports reductive buffering, disproportionate redistribution between compartments may amplify localized redox imbalance even when total cellular NAD levels appear preserved
As interest grows in antioxidant support, more individuals are exploring daily glutathione injections to achieve steady, measurable benefits
Evidence for a role for oxidative stress in schizophrenia includes studies reporting reduced glutathione blood levels [9], reduced post-mortem glutathione concentrations [10, 11], and genetic evidence implicating schizophrenia-related polymorphisms in genes involved in glutathione synthesis [12]
In Alzheimers disease models, oral glutathione supplementation improved cognition and reduced depressive-like behavior (11)
