So, what is glutathione?
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and one of the most important molecules produced by the human body. It is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. Glutathione plays a vital role in cellular detoxification, helping to remove harmful toxins and free radicals from the body. It is also involved in immune function, DNA synthesis, and protein synthesis. Glutathione can be found in many foods, including fruits, vegetables, and meats, but its levels may decrease due to aging, stress, and certain health conditions. As a supplement, glutathione is believed to offer numerous health benefits, including improved immune function, reduced inflammation, and protection against chronic diseases.
