Glutathione (L--glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is the primary intracellular antioxidant tripeptide, functioning as a substrate for glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes in redox homeostasis and xenobiotic detoxification research models

It is a material difference in what the patient is actually injecting
