The breakdown products glutamate and cys-gly serve as the major supply for intracellular GSH synthesis [72,73]
the tripeptide is absorbed into the bloodstream and slowly transported into various tissue compartments, including erythrocytes (red blood cells), lymphocytes (white blood cells), and mucosal tissues

1 Introduction Cancer persists as the second leading cause of global mortality, with epidemiological projections estimating 19.97 million new cases and 9.74 million deaths in 2024 ( Nutraceuticals have emerged as compelling candidates in translational oncology, leveraging their dual capacity to potentiate anticancer effects while mitigating treatment-related toxicity ( 2 O 2 )-mediated responses, including adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion, iron-regulated epigenetic reprogramming, anti-apoptotic protein B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) inhibition, Bax (Bcl-2 associated X protein, a well-known pro-apoptotic mediator) activation, mitochondrial hyperpolarization induction, the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP, a known apoptotic indicator) and caspases, mainly caspases 3 and 7 as well as targeting hypoxia-inducible factor-1 ( HIF- ) ( The therapeutic application of VC in oncology has been plagued by persistent controversies, particularly regarding dose-response relationships and administration route efficacy

As a moderate appetite suppressant, one of the other potential benefits of B12 injections is weight loss
