WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?Glutathione (Glutathione Reduced) is a tripeptide made from the amino acids Cysteine‚ Glutamic acid and Glycine. Vitamin B-6 is necessary for proper metabolism and Alpha Lipoic Acid helps increase Glutathione levels. Vitamins C and E‚ and also Selenium have an effect on Glutathione levels. Produced in the liver‚ which has the most abundant supply‚ this powerful antioxidant helps detoxify harmful chemical compounds. Found in almost every cell of the body‚ Glutathione protects against free radical damage. Glutathione levels Decrease with aging‚ especially after the age 40. Low levels accelerate the aging process‚ and have been associated with disease and premature death; therefore‚ it is very important to keep these levels high.

It works synergistically with Vitamin E‚ Vitamin C‚ Alpha Lipoic Acid‚ and Co-Q 10 to provide a powerful defensive mechanism. There are very high levels found in the liver‚ which detoxifies drugs‚ pollutants‚ and other harmful substances.

There have been health warnings not to take acetaminophen if you consume alcohol. Both of these generate free radicals and this can deplete the liver of Glutathione. If the liver is depleted of Glutathione‚ it cannot function properly and it builds up with excessive toxins‚ which can cause liver poisoning.
