Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant molecule found naturally in the body. Antioxidants are compounds that protect cells against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a condition that causes an increase in free radicals in the body and cell damage. Glutathione is especially abundant in organs such as the liver, lungs and intestines. Glutathione, which plays a role in many cells in the body, protects cells from harmful free radicals, cleanses toxins and supports the immune system.
Glutathione levels can vary depending on various factors, for example, aging, nutrition, stress, environmental factors and genetic factors can affect glutathione levels. Certain foods and supplements can increase glutathione production. It is important to remember that it is essential to talk to a health professional before taking glutathione supplements, as everyone’s needs and health status are different.
- Antioxidant Protection: : Glutathione protects cells against oxidative stress and prevents cell damage by neutralizing free radicals.
- Detoxification: In the liver in particular, glutathione binds toxins and makes them more water-soluble, allowing them to be eliminated from the body.
- Immune System Support: : Glutathione supports cellular activities that strengthen the immune system.
- Regulate Cell Function: Glutathione regulates important cellular processes such as intracellular signal transduction, protein synthesis and cell growth-differentiation.
