Research shows that glutathione significantly enhances the stability of vitamin C, extending its active presence in the body: Without glutathione, vitamin C levels rapidly decline, with only about 10% remaining after three days With physiological concentrations of glutathione, approximately 70% of vitamin C remained active after 14 days [12] This extended stability means your body maintains higher levels of these protective antioxidants for longer periods, providing more consistent defense against oxidative damage
