Glutathione

Glutathione is a master antioxidant. Your cells contain glutathione, which is a substance made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine.

Glutathione acts as an important antioxidant in your body. That means it helps combat free radicals. These are molecules that can damage your body's cells.

Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions in your body. It also helps detoxify chemicals, including some that your body creates naturally, as well as pollutants and drugs.

Your supply of glutathione seems to decrease as you get older, possibly because your body can't create as much. Lower glutathione levels appear to go hand-in-hand with poorer health. For instance, lower levels may play a role in many conditions that are more likely to develop in older people.

Your glutathione levels may also decrease during certain health problems, such as:

Cancer
HIV/AIDS
Type 2 diabetes
Hepatitis
Parkinson's disease

Glutathione is a powerful and beneficial antioxidant that your liver produces in your body. It’s a tripeptide, a combination of three amino acids – glycine, glutamine, and cysteine. Glutathione consists of a sticky sulfur chemical group. The group collects all the harmful molecules (free radicals) wandering around in your body to neutralize them. After the elimination of these free radicals, your body restores the immune system with additional energy.

With boosting the immune system, glutathione detoxifies your body too. It also causes skin lightening by turning melanin into a lighter color. It also shuts down the enzyme tyrosinase which causes pigmentation. Due to age and several health issues, your glutathione level may decrease. However, with glutathione IV therapy, you can balance the level of glutathione in your body.

Glutathione is a potent antioxidant to perform almost all of your bodily functions that include:

Boosting the immune system to fight diseases including viruses and bacteria
Eliminating free radicals from the body
