Glutathione

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in nearly every cell of your body. It’s often called the body’s “master antioxidant” because it helps protect cells from damage and plays a critical role in detoxification, immune function, and cellular health.

What Is Glutathione Made Of?

Glutathione is a small protein (a tripeptide) made from three amino acids:

• Glutamine
• Cysteine
• Glycine

Your liver produces glutathione continuously, although production can decline with age, illness, chronic stress, poor nutrition, and exposure to toxins.

What Does Glutathione Do?

Glutathione has several important functions:

• Neutralizes free radicals, helping protect cells from oxidative damage.
• Supports liver detoxification by helping process toxins, medications, alcohol, and environmental pollutants.
• Helps recycle other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, so they can continue protecting your cells.
• Supports immune function by helping immune cells work effectively.
• Helps maintain healthy mitochondria, the structures in your cells that produce energy.
• Contributes to healthy skin by protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and, in some cases, reducing melanin production.
