In addition, glutathione plays a role in immune regulation and detoxification pathways
B-complex vitamins 50 to 100 mg/d (Stengler 2016) B vitamins are required for steroid biosynthesis in the adrenal cortex (Anderson 2008)
It also operates as an essential cofactor for various enzymes and plays a pivotal role in several important metabolic functions 3,4,5 including: Biochemical foundation of P450 enzyme detoxification in the liver, lungs, kidney and intestinal epithelia Participates in converting drugs and other toxic chemicals more water-soluble for easier excretion Participating in antioxidant defence systems Protection against free radicals Primary protectant of lens, cornea, skin and retina against radiation damage Regulating and maintaining cellular redox balance Helping metabolise oestrogens and inflammatory compounds Storing and transporting nitric oxide Storing cysteine reserves Regulating the function of proteins Involvement in DNA synthesis Participating in iron and copper transfer Glutathione tends to be found in high concentrations in all cells of the human body, particularly the liver
In females, carnitine supports mitochondrial function necessary for oocyte quality, the maturation of the ovarian follicle, and embryonic development
