It is used in slimming diets to improve the use of carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar (it enhances the action of insulin).
As far as the antioxidant function is concerned, it is the only active substance both in the aqueous phase and in the lipid phase and has a significant capacity to regenerate other antioxidants (VIT A, C, E, coenzyme Q and glutathione).
It is a powerful promoter of glutathione and increases its availability, a very important effect considering that glutathione is the most powerful intracellular antioxidant
