Description:

Glutathione, also known as GSH, is a molecule found naturally in your body. Produced by the liver, glutathione is made up of three amino acids: L-cysteine, glycine, and L-glutamate. Glutathione is thought to offer antioxidant effects, as well as stimulate the immune system. Proponents claim that glutathione supplements can help treat and prevent a number of health conditions.

Also available in certain foods (such as fruits and vegetables), glutathione is sold in dietary supplement form as well.

Uses

Glutathione is said to protect against a wide range of health problems, including: alcoholism, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, atherosclerosis, autism, cataracts, chronic fatigue syndrome, colitis, diabetes, glaucoma, heart disease, hepatitis, high cholesterol, liver disease, osteoarthritis, Lyme disease, and Parkinson's disease.

In addition, glutathione is purported to reverse the aging process, prevent cancer, and preserve memory.

Health Benefits

1.Maintaining optimal levels of glutathione is essential to your health, glutathione plays a key role in antioxidant defense, breakdown of nutrients, and regulation of many biological processes (including immune response).

2.Glutathione deficiency contributes to oxidative stress, which in turn influences the development of many diseases (including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, cancer, heart attack, stroke and diabetes).

3.While research on the use of glutathione supplements is fairly limited, there's some evidence that glutathione may offer certain benefits when taken in supplement form.
