L-Glutathione

L-Glutathione or GSH is an amino acid found in every cell of a living organism. It is a tri-peptide formed from Glutamic acid, Cysteine and Glycine. It is considered as the ultimate and master antioxidant known to man because it protects the body from a multitude of diseases and conditions. Glutathione, with its powerful antioxidant properties, can help fight free radicals. But as we age, our glutathione levels are depleted due to exposure to air pollutants, stress, drugs, smoking, or food chemicals that damage our cellular systems. 

BENEFITS OF GLUTATHIONE:

Skin Health

• Protects the skin from free radical damage such as pollution and ultraviolet light keeping it healthy and beautiful

Detoxification

• Glutathione is produced primarily in the liver and distributed in the bloodstream throughout the body to eliminate toxins and poisons by providing protection against chemicals that promote cell transformation

Immune System

• Glutathione regulates and regenerates immune cells to help support the body’s immune system to help combat against stress, exhaustion and seasonal changes
• In fact, people with degenerative diseases such as cancer and heart disease tend to have very low levels of glutathione
