What is Glutathione?
In your body, glutathione contributes to many biochemical reactions: it helps defend cells from oxidative stress, helps other antioxidants get back to their active forms so they can continue working as antioxidants, and helps break down certain compounds that can contribute to oxidative stress. This supplement provides the sought-after reduced form of glutathione.
The reduced (aka active) form of glutathione is a perfect complement to a wellness-focused lifestyle!
Glutathione Benefits
- Helps defend cells from oxidative stress
- Helps break down compounds that add to oxidative stress
- Acts as a cofactor for many important enzymes
The body’s heavy-duty antioxidant defense
Generally, glutathione exists in several different forms, including both reduced and oxidized states. In your body, the reduced form of glutathione is better at scavenging for free radicals, fulfilling its role as an antioxidant. Only thing is, glutathione levels decrease as you age. So if oxidative stress is on your mind, consider adding a daily 500 mg dose of the reduced form of glutathione to your routine!

What is glutathione?
Your body makes glutathione with three amino acids: glycine, cysteine, and glutamate.1 It’s considered the body’s master antioxidant because it protects cellular activity from within the cells, but it also regenerates other antioxidants and acts as a cofactor for many enzymes.1-3 Glutathione is also involved in the metabolism of certain compounds that can increase free radical activity.4
