    The basics

    Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It is naturally produced in the liver and found in various cells throughout the body. Often referred to as the "master antioxidant," glutathione plays a crucial role in detoxification and immune function.

    Roles & Functions
    Antioxidant Defense: Glutathione neutralizes harmful free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress and potential damage.

    Detoxification: It binds to toxins and heavy metals in the liver, aiding in their removal from the body.

    Immune System Support: Glutathione enhances the activity of immune cells and plays a part in the body’s natural defense mechanisms against pathogens.

    • Detoxification master molecule
    • Immune essential

    The Science

    Redox Balance: Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) states. The ratio of these forms maintains the cellular redox status, essential for many biological processes.

    Cysteine Donor: Glutathione donates its cysteine thiol group, which is essential in biochemical reactions that neutralise free radicals or detoxify harmful substances.

    Enzyme Cofactor: It works as a cofactor for various antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase, catalysing the conversion of harmful peroxides to water.

    Glutathione and health

    Chronic Disease: Lower glutathione levels are associated with several chronic conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancers.

    Ageing: Glutathione levels naturally decrease with age, making supplementation or dietary intake beneficial for maintaining good health.

    How will I know its working?

    Increased energy, improved skin complexion, and a more robust immune response (fewer illnesses) can be indicators.

    When to take it?

    Take 1 capsule daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
