Glutathione

How it works

Glutathione is the body's primary endogenous antioxidant, essential for detoxification and immune function. While standard oral forms were historically considered poorly absorbed, recent clinical trials demonstrate that liposomal and high-quality reduced forms can significantly increase systemic levels and reduce oxidative stress.

Acts as a potent redox buffer that neutralizes free radicals and serves as a critical cofactor for antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase.

Safety

• Generally well-tolerated even at high doses.
• May interfere with certain chemotherapy drugs; consult a physician if undergoing cancer treatment.
• Long-term high-dose supplementation may theoretically impact zinc levels.
