The vitamins were supplied through a vitamin premix to ensure the following dosage was provided per capsule: taurine: 500 mg vitamin B6: 1.3 mg vitamin B9: 0.2 mg vitamin B12: 2.4 mcg The placebo product consisted of capsules visually identical to the test product, but containing 100% microcrystalline cellulose (337 mg)
ICIs work by blocking the interactions between immune checkpoints such as CTL-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), and programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and their ligands, which releases the inhibitory brakes of T cells and results in the robust activation of immune responses (Fig
Because Fe-S clusters function as essential cofactors for components of the electron transport chain, TCA cycle enzymes, and genome maintenance machinery, their stability depends on a reducing intracellular environment that is maintained, in part, by GSH 203,208

In specific embodiments, the deliverable osmolarity/osmolality of the formulations (i.e., the osmolarity/osmolality of the formulation in the absence of gelling or thickening agents (e.g., thermoreversible gel polymers) is adjusted, for example, by the use of appropriate salt concentrations (e.g., concentration of potassium or sodium salts) or the use of tonicity agents which renders the formulations endolymph-compatible and/or perilymph-compatible (i.e
