Glutathione, a potent antioxidant peptide, helps maintain cellular redox balance, reduces oxidative stress, and supports liver and immune function. Research highlights its potential in improving sperm motility, protecting against hepatotoxicity, and promoting skin health and anti-aging effects.

A naturally occurring substance within the body that is made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions in the body, combats free radicals (molecules that can damage cells), detoxifies chemicals and pollutants, and is a natural antioxidant. Glutathione levels in the body may be reduced by a number of factors, including aging, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress; this drop is correlated with poorer health and the development of many disorders. Levels also fall if you have certain conditions, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, Type-2 Diabetes, Hepatitis, and Parkinson’s disease.
BENEFITS
Antioxidant properties
Detoxification properties
Reduces oxidative stress that can contribute to symptoms in many different chronic conditions, including autoimmune disease
Helps mitigate the harmful effects of radiation and chemotherapy
Combats male infertility
Enhances immune function
Reduces inflammation
Better skin health – fewer wrinkles, better elasticity, reduced photoaging
Purges heavy metals from the system
Improves cartilage health
Can boost athletic performance and exercise output; pre-exercise glutathione administration improves lipid (fat) metabolism and acidification in skeletal muscles, resulting in less muscle fatigue
Flushes toxins from the liver
Promotes brain health – helps prevent or manage Parkinson’s and reduces neuronal damage following stroke
Promotes long-term eye health, particularly of the retina, lens, and cornea. Supports the Muller cells, which regulate retinal function and protect the eye against pathogens. Decreases oxidative stress in the eye and delays age-related changes, including loss of visual acuity and the incidence of cataracts
When combined with L-citrulline, glutathione maximizes the production of nitric oxide, which dilates the blood vessels to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles and tissue
Protects the liver from damage. One study of people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease had improved liver enzymes after four months of consistent dosing
May help with weight loss
SYMPTOMS OF LOW GLUTATHIONE
Fatigue
Brain fog/confusion
Bad skin
Deteriorating vision
Sleep problems
Frequent infections
Anemia (low red blood cell count)
Loss of coordination
Seizures
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Gas
Diarrhea
Flushing/warming of the skin
Weight gain
WHAT TO AVOID WHILE TAKING GLUTATHIONE
Alcohol – Creates oxidative stress, which uses up antioxidants. Places a burden on the system and depletes Glutathione levels
Tobacco – Depletes Glutathione levels and compounds the adverse effects of smoking
Aspartame – Changes the transculturation pathway in the liver in which Glutathione is involved. Inhibits detoxification, depletes Glutathione levels, and increases inflammation
