L-glutathione: reduced form

Glutathione is an endogenous peptide compound based on the three amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine.
Every cell uses glutathione, which shows the importance of this substance. The human organism is able to synthesise it itself from the three mentioned amino acids. However, an optimal presence is dependent on several conditions. For example, it is possible that not all glutathione components are available in a sufficient amount. In the case of cysteine and glutamine this may occasionally happen, unlike glycine. A deficiency of these three amino acids can use up the glutathione storage quickly.

What causes an increased need for glutathione?

One thing is for sure: The body produces less glutathione in old age. The human glutathione level usually starts to decrease at the age of approx. 45 years and becomes even lower after the age of 60, because the decrease of the endogenous synthesis is age-related. Furthermore, glutathione from food cannot be resorbed as effectively in old age.
Stress in our everyday lives, unfavourable nutrition, environmental pollution, medicine, infections and toxins (smoking and alcohol consumption) can increase the need for glutathione. Physical activity or physical exertion can cause an increased requirement as well.
