Cyclic GMP induces smooth muscle relaxation by multiple mechanisms, including Increased intracellular cGMP, which inhibits calcium entry into the cell, and decreases intracellular calcium concentrations (click here for details) Activating K + channels, which leads to hyperpolarization and relaxation Stimulating a cGMP-dependent protein kinase that activates myosin light chain phosphatase, the enzyme that dephosphorylates myosin light chains, which leads to smooth muscle relaxation
Unlike oral glutathione supplements that have low bioavailability (typically under 30%), an IV infusion delivers close to 100% absorption at a cellular level making it significantly more effective for both skin health and systemic detoxification
