Glutathione, also known as GSH, is a molecule made of three amino acids (cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine) and it functions as an important antioxidant and detoxification agent within the body
TSC2 mediates cellular energy response to control cell growth and survival
In the second step of biosynthesis, glutathione synthetase (GS) adds the final amino acid, glycine, to complete the glutathione molecule
This promotes optimal cellular performance and helps protect against cellular damage
Pointing out that riboflavin is a necessary coenzyme for glutathione reductase (one of a chain of enzymes which itself serves to maintain glutathione in the reduced form), they explained that though more research is needed it is likely that a riboflavin deficiency would impact glutathione function and may even impact the levels in the body. The researchers also suggested that vitamin B5 may support glutathione synthesis in the body due to its role in ATP production, while mentioning that vitamin B12 deficiency is linked with low glutathione levels
