Glutathione is involved in tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and in immune system function. People take glutathione for aging, alcohol use disorder, liver disease, heart disease, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Possible Benefits:

• Antioxidant activity: Glutathione is a very strong antioxidant, partly because high concentrations can be found in every cell in the body.
• Reducing cell damage in liver disease: Hepatitis, alcohol abuse, and fatty liver disease all damage the cells of the liver.
• Boost of Energy: Energy production occurs within all cells (except red blood cells) via the mitochondria. Glutathione protects mitochondriafrom free radicals and the oxidative damage they cause. In this way, glutathione is paramount to energy production.
• Healthy Skin: Whether concerned with acne, wrinkles, dryness, eczema, or puffy eyes, many are seeking flawless, youthful skin. Science says that glutathione is an effective answer.
• Heart Health: A lesser known fact is that glutathione may prevent heart attack and other heart disease, thanks to its ability to neutralize the “lipid oxidation” (fat oxidation) process.
