Nutraceutical manufacturer Kyowa Hakko has recently touted the benefits of its gluthianone ingredient, Setria, for healthy ageing.
The branded natural ingredient consists of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine — a tripeptide combination favoured for its role in maintaining normal cellular function.
Gluthianone is present in almost every cell in the human body, and is key in protecting cells from oxidative stress through the neutralisation of free radicals.
To find out more about the ingredient, what makes it stand out in the healthy ageing category and the clinical studies underpinning its efficacy, NBR caught up with Katie Emerson, Senior Manager, Scientific Affairs at Kyowa Hakko USA.
