Lipotropic agents: Commonly methionine (an essential amino acid), inositol (a carbohydrate compound), and choline (a nutrient involved in lipid transport)
Because they're unstable, they can take electrons from other cells or react negatively with the molecules in a cell, setting off a chain reaction that terminates in apoptosis, or cell death.11 Oxidative stress can stem from various causes, such as smoking, drinking, environmental pollution, exposure to sunlight, and mental/physical stress.12 Although the body needs pro-oxidants, they can cause several detrimental health effects when present in overabundance without enough antioxidants to counter them, such as:13 Cancer Rheumatoid arthritis Kidney diseases Cardiovascular diseases Neurological diseases Respiratory diseases Psychological disorders Age-related degeneration Insider Tip: Glutathione is pronounced glu-ta-THI-one, with the stress on the third syllable
