Under conditions where antioxidant and iron-buffering systems are adequately engaged, NRF2 activation enhances GPX4, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and GSH levels, reduces lipid hydroperoxides, malondialdehyde (MDA), and ROS accumulation [118], and thereby suppresses ferroptotic cell death
How they work together L-Carnitine supports transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for energy use, while pantothenic acid serves as a cofactor in metabolic pathways that generate cellular energy
