Glutathione

Supports Healthy Weight Loss

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is made up of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It is often referred to as the "master antioxidant" because it helps neutralize harmful substances in the body. It is important for:

  • Detoxification

  • Immune system support

  • Protecting against oxidative stress (damage caused by free radicals)

  • Supporting liver health

  • Regulating other antioxidants in the body

How does Glutathione work?

  • Antioxidant Action: It neutralizes free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are unstable molecules that can damage your cells and lead to aging and diseases.

  • Detoxification: It helps the liver detoxify harmful substances, such as heavy metals, by making them easier to excrete.

  • Immune Support: Glutathione helps the immune system function effectively by maintaining healthy levels of white blood cells.

  • Regulating Other Antioxidants: It helps regenerate other antioxidants in the body, allowing them to keep fighting oxidative stress.

Why is Glutathione important?

  • Glutathione is essential for overall well-being and health, as it:

    • Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, which is linked to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson's).

    • Supports liver health by aiding in the detoxification process.

    • Helps the immune system function properly, reducing the risk of infections.

    • Improves skin health by reducing the appearance of dark spots, promoting a healthy complexion, and potentially lightening skin tone.

Potential Side Effects

  • While glutathione supplementation is generally considered safe for most people, some may experience side effects such as:

    • Allergic reactions (skin rash, itching)

    • Digestive discomfort (nausea or bloating)

    • Breathing problems (if inhaled in aerosol form)

    If you’re considering glutathione supplementation, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dose and form for your needs.

Before taking Glutathione.

  • Tell your provider if you have or have ever had kidney or pancreas disease, a history of diabetic retinopathy or any stomach problems such as difficulty digesting food.
