We believe that responsibility for perpetuating this appealing yet unfounded narrative lies with both scientists and society.

“Oxidative stress” has served as a supposed “biological mechanism” to justify antioxidant use in virtually every disease. Yet, supplements or “superfoods” have shown no proven benefits for health or exercise performance.

For various reasons, the narrative has prevailed that free radicals are “bad”, antioxidants are “good”, and that almost all diseases as well as exercise fatigue are caused (at least in part) by “oxidative stress.”

I didn’t know this, interesting angle, Angelo. It would be worth probing whether GSH flux is co-regulated with erythropoiesis or hemoglobin turnover, especially given the shared glycine precursor and the link between hemoglobin cysteines and GSH.

If you have a review ready, submit it. If you have an idea, fill out our proposal template and send it to us for consideration. There are no any restrictions.
While science often rewards those who produce results, true progress depends equally on those who make sense of them.
