According to Health Line, a molecule develops into a free radical when it loses an electron and becomes incomplete
Every heartbeat, breath, or thought relies on mitochondrial output

Obesity-related lipotoxicity drives ceramide accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammatory responses that accelerate hypertrophic remodeling (81)
This is clinically relevant because many supplementation strategies, including N-acetylcysteine (NAC) therapy, target this bottleneck
Furthermore, it is a very "busy" molecule that is constantly being used up to neutralize free radicals and toxins
