Overview

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant found naturally in the body. It is made up of three amino acids – cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid – and is essential for a healthy immune system and detoxification processes. Glutathione helps protect cells from free radical damage, neutralizes toxins, and maintains the body’s normal metabolism and functions. It is important for the prevention of age-related diseases, cancer, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions. Glutathione is involved in numerous biochemical processes, including DNA synthesis, gene expression, and protein synthesis. It is also found in many foods, such as fruits and vegetables, and is available in supplement form. Increasing glutathione levels through diet and supplementation may improve overall health and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
