Mechanism of Action
Antioxidant, unique water-soluble nutrient able to scavenge certain types of free radicals before they have a chance to damage lipids and other cellular components
Shown to work along side of vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant, and the enzyme glutathione peroxidase to stop the free radical chain reactions from getting out of hand
