The Claim

A mixture of glutathione, oleuropein, and selenium at 500 μg/mL reduces fructose-induced glycation of human IgG and lymphocytes in vitro, as measured by decreased fluorescence and improved antigen-binding capacity.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

A combination of glutathione, oleuropein, and selenium at 500 μg/mL reduces chemical damage to human antibody proteins and immune cells caused by fructose, as shown by lower fluorescence signals and better protein function.

See the scientific wording

A mixture of glutathione, oleuropein, and selenium at 500 μg/mL reduces fructose-induced glycation of human IgG and lymphocytes in vitro, as measured by decreased fluorescence and improved antigen-binding capacity, suggesting a potential biochemical protective effect against glycation damage.

Why this might work

Fructose sticks to proteins in immune cells and antibodies, causing them to change shape and stop working properly. A mix of glutathione, oleuropein, and selenium stops this damage by soaking up harmful chemicals made during the process, keeping the proteins in their normal shape so they can still do their job.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Fructose-Derived Glycation and Immune Function: Effects on Antigen Binding in Human IgG and Lymphocytes.

    Scientists tested if three antioxidants can protect immune proteins from sugar damage in a lab dish, and they found that yes, the mix helped keep the proteins working properly. This doesn’t mean it works in people’s bodies, but it does show it works in the test tube like the claim said.
