Glutathione, NOW Foods

Glutathione is a small protein molecule composed of the amino acids glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Scientists have established that maintaining normal glutathione levels in cells is essential for preserving healthy body function. Glutathione has a fairly broad range of actions: - First of all, the substance enhances the immune system. Studies show that high glutathione levels in the blood reduce the risk of diseases. - Glutathione is a detoxifying compound. It is the most effective detoxification agent in the body. Glutathione binds unwanted toxins, pollutants, chemicals, heavy metals, and drug metabolites and removes them through the kidneys or intestines. - Glutathione is necessary for cell function. It is involved in the production of many cellular proteins, DNA synthesis and repair, activation and regulation of cellular enzymes involved in overall cell function. In addition, glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage, supports the necessary action of vitamin D3 in the body, is vital for mitochondrial function, and helps the body "process" vitamins E and C.
