Best known as a powerful antioxidant
Glutathione is a ubiquitous Tripeptide composed of Cysteine, Glutamic Acid and Glycine. Glutathione has many roles, its chief one being that of a co-enzyme in antioxidant enzymes. Antioxidants help to neutralise harmful free radicals that are produced quite naturally in the human body and which, if allowed to proceed unchecked, can harm tissues and organs.
Glutathione is also important for the formation of Red and White Blood Cells.
Glutathione is involved in detoxification—it binds to toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, and transforms them into a form that can be excreted in urine or bile. It is a key player in the liver's role as a detoxification organ.
Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
Recommended dosage: 1 to 3 capsules daily with water or fruit juice. An amino acid is best taken half an hour before any meal or at bedtime.
Caution: Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding.
