Cells can stave off ferroptotic fate through the use of antioxidant pathways that largely utilize GSH, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and perioredoxin-thioredoxin, which all ultimately rely on NADPH for regeneration
If you take glutathione at the same time, it has to compete with all those nutrients for transport across the gut lining
Methionine : A sulfur-containing amino acid involved in methylation , glutathione synthesis , and fat metabolism Inositol : A B-vitamin-like compound that enhances insulin sensitivity , supports cell signaling , and contributes to lipid transport Choline : Crucial for cell membrane integrity , fat mobilization , and neurotransmitter synthesis (acetylcholine) Together, MIC components stimulate the liver to process and export fats more efficiently , prevent hepatic steatosis , and enhance weight loss outcomes
BPC-157's potential contribution to neuroprotection, while less directly studied in CNS models, likely involves vascular support and cytoprotection
