Additionally, foods high in vitamin C (citrus fruits, strawberries) and selenium (Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds) further support glutathione synthesis and function
In an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS, a high-fiber diet that boosts SCFA production expanded Foxp3 + Tregs, strengthened the gut barrier, and reduced CNS inflammation and disease severity [41]
Function: One serving provides 90 mg of vitamin C , which is 113% of the reference intake value
Their intracellular effects are complex and context dependent
This broader, longer-lasting mechanism is what makes it particularly compelling in research focused on overall growth and recovery, though it also comes with a higher likelihood of systemic effects compared to more localized peptides
