In normal settings, the intracellular ratio of reduced GSH to GSSG is more than or equal to 100
Studies suggest it may help: Reduce exerciseinduced muscle damage Decrease muscle soreness (DOMS) Support faster recovery between training sessions This makes it particularly appealing for resistance training, highintensity workouts, and frequent training schedules
