Thanks Lar for the EPA/DHA abstracts...and thanks being involved!!My thoughts were that severe brian fogging I get with high dose ascorbate might be using up too much glutathione for me and causing excess production of the ascorbyl radical? This article suggests it might be possible.
"For example, after vitamin C donates an electron to a free radical, it becomes what is known as the ascorbyl radical. The antioxidant known as reduced glutathione can restore ascorbyl radical to the antioxidant form of vitamin C."
