Possible Interaction: Antioxidants and Sulfur

“The close correlation found between the antioxidant capacity of the mothers and babies suggest that the supplementation of feeding with sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine, cysteine) during pregnancy would improve the antioxidant capacity of prematures.”

“The potent antioxidant and detoxification capacity supported by abundant production of glutathione is achieved at the expense of central carbon metabolism and requires skewed metabolic flow of sulfur.”

“These findings suggest that long-term exposure to sulfurous springs boost the antioxidant capacity and reduce oxidative stress levels in the human body.”
