The present invention relates to pharmaceutical, dietary and / or food compositions exerting the ability to activate the endogenous production of
hydrogen sulfide (H2S) so to feed the
redox buffer capacity and to boost the natural ability to compensate both oxidative and reductive stress.The invention further relates to the use of the aforementioned compositions to correct signs of metabolic derangements such as: oxy-
redox imbalances including reductive stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and bioenergetics,
insulin resistance,
endothelial dysfunction and
hyperhomocysteinemia. Accordingly, the composition of the present invention can be used as a medicament for the treatment of hypertension, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular
disease,
erectile dysfunction, viral infections and inflammatory
lung injuries, diabetes and PCOS, autoimmune diseases,
neurodegeneration, repeated
implantation failure and repeated
miscarriage and
infertility in both men and women.
