This would involve establishing biomarkers for monitoring lithium levels and glutathione synthesis in vivo, as well as developing guidelines for long-term use and potential combination therapies
The National Library of Medicine explains how the body uses glutathione to protect cells from oxidative stress, and Cleveland Clinic describes how antioxidants neutralize free radicals before they accumulate
