Vitamin C has been proven in the setting of CAP to boost the activity of numerous immune cells, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, and phagocytes, which are critical in the fight against bacterial and viral infections
It is central to: Detoxification: Neutralizing free radicals and heavy metals Immune defense: Maintaining lymphocyte and macrophage function Redox homeostasis: Regulating disulfide bonds and antioxidant recycling Cellular repair: Protecting lipid membranes and mitochondrial DNA Despite its significance, traditional glutathione supplements face major limitations: Poor intestinal absorption Rapid breakdown into constituent amino acids Minimal rise in systemic glutathione levels Weak clinical outcomes This gap between glutathiones potential and its real-world efficacy is what motivated the move toward liposomal delivery systems
The antioxidant potential of these compounds is often assessed alongside other assays, such as the DPPH assay, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of their radical scavenging capabilities (Prior et al., 2005
