BRS3 — Inflammation & Oxidative Stress

BRS3(KC1) - Antioxidant Substrate Sufficiency​

1. Ambition​

Maintain antioxidant substrate sufficiency so endogenous redox buffering and glutathione-linked protection remain stable under inflammatory demand.

2. Shared Biological Pool​

  • Polyphenols ← berries, cocoa, green tea
  • Vitamin C ← citrus, kiwi, bell peppers
  • Cysteine ← eggs, poultry, legumes
  • Glycine ← collagen-rich cuts, poultry, legumes
  • Glutamate ← meat, fish, soy

3. Biological Importance​

This pool combines direct antioxidant compounds with glutathione-building amino-acid substrates that support endogenous defence systems. Together they sustain redox buffering, antioxidant recycling, and glutathione-linked protection. Insufficiency across either component increases vulnerability to oxidative damage across multiple inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms.
