Description
In addition to its powerful antioxidant capacity, glutathione may help support immune function and is a crucial compound for facilitating effective detoxification processes in the liver.
Detoxification helps remove harmful compounds that enter from the outside as well as those our bodies generate internally from normal, healthy metabolism. These include heavy metals, alcohol, excess hormones, metabolites of drugs, and more.
Glutathione is produced inside every cell in the human body and is most highly concentrated in organs such as the pancreas, kidneys, and liver.
The antioxidant function of glutathione makes it critical for cellular energy generation in the mitochondria, which are the body’s energy generating factories. Chronic illness and long-term toxin exposure may deplete stored glutathione as well as hinder its production. The body’s ability to make glutathione naturally declines with age, so just when aging individuals become more susceptible to illness, their immune systems may not be functioning optimally. Supplemental glutathione may provide more of this compound than the body is able to generate on its own.
The use of S-Acetyl form of Glutathione in Glutathione Protect™
Glutathione is made up of three amino acid and if it is consumed in its isolated state, the digestive system will break it down and it will not have the intended effect.
Therefore, glutathione, itself, is not very effective for use in supplements. In fact, intravenous glutathione administration is the most effective delivery system for glutathione, but this is expensive and inconvenient. S-Acetyl-Glutathione is an ideal alternative for supporting glutathione status in a simple and effective way.
This unique form of glutathione is chemically altered to be suitable for oral ingestion. The “S-acetyl” molecule bound to glutathione protects glutathione from breaking down in the gastrointestinal tract, so it reaches the bloodstream intact.
Glutathione Protect™ includes vitamin B6 due to its role as a required cofactor for the body to produce glutathione. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is included in this formula, as this stable form of cysteine supplies important precursors to the production of glutathione.
Recommended Use
