Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally produced in the body, composed of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. It is present in almost every cell and plays a critical role in protecting the body from oxidative stress and maintaining cellular health.

  Supplemental Benefits of Glutathione:

Free Radical Neutralization: Glutathione neutralizes free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), protecting cells from damage.

Regeneration of Other Antioxidants: It helps regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, enhancing their effectiveness.

Liver Function: Glutathione is crucial for liver detoxification processes, aiding in the elimination of toxins and harmful substances from the body.

Conjugation Reactions: It facilitates the conjugation of toxins, making them water-soluble and easier to excrete.

Immune Cell Function: Glutathione supports the function and proliferation of immune cells, enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases.

Inflammation Regulation: It helps modulate inflammation, promoting a balanced immune response.

DNA and Protein Synthesis: Glutathione is involved in DNA and protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Mitochondrial Function: It supports mitochondrial function and energy production within cells.

  Forms and dosage:

Glutathione (General Form):  A general term that can refer to any form of glutathione used in supplements.

L-Glutathione:  Refers to the bioactive form of glutathione used in the body.

L-Glutathione (Reduced): The most active and bioavailable form of glutathione. The “reduced” form means it is in its active state, ready to neutralize free radicals.

S-Acetyl-L-Glutathione:  A modified form of glutathione with an acetyl group attached, which enhances its stability and bioavailability.

Liposomal Glutathione:  Glutathione encapsulated in liposomes (fatty spheres) to protect it from degradation in the digestive tract and enhance absorption.

Daily dose:  100 -500 mg
