glutathione peroxidase
2 interactions related to glutathione peroxidase
nac + selenium
NAC supplies cysteine for glutathione synthesis while selenium is the obligate cofactor in glutathione peroxidase enzymes, which use glutathione to neutralize peroxides. Without adequate selenium, the glutathione that NAC helps produce cannot be fully utilized in peroxide detoxification.

vitamin e + selenium
Vitamin E and selenium work as complementary antioxidants. Selenium is the cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, which clears lipid peroxides, sparing vitamin E. Vitamin E in turn prevents lipid peroxidation, reducing demand on the selenium-dependent enzyme.
