4. Mechanism of Action

  1. Core intracellular antioxidant, neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals;
  2. Regulates cellular detoxification via glutathione S-transferase;
  3. Inhibits melanin synthesis by blocking tyrosinase activity for skin brightening;
  4. Supports immune cell proliferation and liver metabolic detoxification.
