glutathione: the master antioxidant for cellular defense

What Is Glutathione?

Glutathione (GSH) is a powerful antioxidant produced naturally in the body, composed of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It's a critical part of the body's defense system, helping to neutralize free radicals, support detoxification, and maintain immune balance.

Often referred to as the “master antioxidant,” Glutathione plays a central role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and promoting metabolic efficiency.

What the Research Shows

Glutathione is being explored for its potential impact on:

• Detoxification support, especially in the liver

• Immune modulation and inflammation balance

• Cellular aging and oxidative stress protection

• Skin clarity and even tone

• Mitochondrial function and energy regulation

Low glutathione levels have been observed in many chronic health conditions and in individuals under high stress, toxin exposure, or intense physical demand.

How It’s Used

Glutathione can be supported in a few ways:

• IV therapy (commonly used in wellness and detox clinics)

• IM injections

• Nebulized delivery or sublingual forms

• Diet and lifestyle strategies that support natural GSH production

Because it’s fragile in standard oral form, professional guidance is often recommended to determine the most effective delivery method for your needs.
