Glutathione is body’s most powerful antioxidant and detoxifying agent, and it’s also something of a well-kept secret. Outside the wellness community, few people have heard of it, but it’s now time to lift the curtain on this life-saving molecule that delivers incredible health benefits:

Glutathione is an amino acid and its called the “master antioxidant” of the human body. This little-known antioxidant is key to fighting toxicity and premature aging and warding off chronic disease.

It is normally produced in our liver with the help of three sulfur containing amino acids such as: L-Cysteine, L-Glutamine, and Glycine.

The modern lifestyle has everything from refined foods, over-the-counter painkillers, antibiotics, pesticides, and stress rob the body of this vital antioxidant. And, even if you’re doing everything right, aging takes a bite. Around age 45 to 50, our glutathione levels start to go down. Ultimately, these levels can dip as much as 50 percent below optimal as we age.

It has been scientifically documented Glutathione is crucial for detoxification in the liver;   It’s also necessary for healthy immune function and general antioxidant defenses against free radicals.

The only way to take GLUTATHIONE is through an IV. Oral forms are not successful because it’s poorly absorbed. The stomach acids would break down about 90% of it, preventing most of the glutathione from getting to where it needed to go.

It plays crucial roles in the immune response, DNA repair, and the detoxification process that neutralizes drugs, chemicals, radiation, metabolic wastes, and other toxins and carcinogens.

• Conjugates with drugs to make them more digestible.
• Is a cofactor for some important enzymes including glutathione peroxidase which protects from oxidative damage.
• Is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement required for protein synthesis.
• Reduces peroxide free radicals
• Facilitates leukotriene production (a vital component for inflammatory and hypersensitivity reactions).
• Helps the liver detoxify.
• Plays a crucial role in immune function.
• Promotes T-cell function, which is critical for a strong immune system.
• Helps prevent drug resistance.
• Protects from environment
•  It fights cancer
