Taken together, catalase was activated at the beginning, followed with the significant activation of glutathione redox system around 6 to 12 h in proline group
His team created a patented transdermal technology that delivers glutathione systemically through the skin, and he has since expanded this work to include advanced peptides and new delivery systems that improve absorption far beyond standard topical products
