Description
"Glutathione" is a supplement containing a tripeptide composed of glutamine, glycine, and cysteine, naturally synthesized in the liver. It plays a role in cellular detoxification by regulating oxidative stress and neutralizing harmful compounds. Many formulations emphasize its connection to immune support, metabolic processes, and liver function. It is also selected for its role in maintaining cellular integrity and toxin processing. Its fundamental role in biochemical reactions makes it a crucial element in targeted nutritional formulations.

When To Take It
Glutathione is commonly taken before bed, supporting detoxification and cellular repair during sleep, although it can be consumed at other times of the day.
Synergy and Antagonism
Glutathione works synergistically with vitamin E and selenium to enhance antioxidant defense and detoxification. However, excessive intake may disrupt copper balance, requiring careful monitoring in long-term use.
