Glutathione
Glutathione has several functions and health benefits. Glutathione can be found in plants and animals. Glutathione is an important water-soluble antioxidant that plays a role in supporting muscles from free radicals. L-Glutathione (GSH) is a sulphur-bearing peptide formed from the linking of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. It is the major antioxidant within cells. GSH is an important amino acid for brain function because it regulates cell activity and works as a fuel required for mental alertness and clarity of thinking. Glutathione also plays a fundamental role in numerous metabolic and biochemical reactions such as DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport and enzyme activation. Thus, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs.
Solgar offers several different glutathione supplement products, either as a single glutathione supplement, or supplements that combine glutathione with other powerful antioxidants such as; Vitamin C,
NAC (n-acetyl-l-cysteine), ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) and Selenium, which may be useful, depending on your need, or suspected glutathione deficiency.
