ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a composition is provided with Vitamins C and E, zinc acetate, copper, selenium, manganese, and at least one of L-cysteine, pyridoxine, and riboflavin. The Vitamins C and E serve as antioxidants, while the zinc acetate, copper, selenium and manganese serve as cofactors for metalloenzymes which scavenge oxidizers. The remaining three compounds tend to enhance glutathione concentration. All the elements are provided in a tablet or caplet form which is suitable for oral ingestion. Preferably, the composition is taken periodically each day of a treatment period.
