L-glutathione: protects against free radicals and regenerates Vitamin C and E

Glutathione is an endogenous peptide compound based on the three amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. It supplies the blood with oxygen and is a tip to maintain health up until old age. 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.

Glutathione acts in the entire body as an antioxidant and is able to neutralise free radicals.

It supports the regeneration of Vitamin C and E, two other antioxidants. Especially high concentrations of glutathione can be found in the liver, the kidneys, in the intestines and in the tissue fluid of the lungs, where it neutralises toxic substances taken in with the food and inhaled pollutants. Glutathione also occurs in the mucous membranes of the entire gastrointestinal tract and binds toxins before the organism can resorb them.

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.

This glutathione is reduced and can be processed by the body optimally.
