What is Uses of Glutathione ?

 Your cells contain glutathione, which is a substance made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Glutathione acts as an important antioxidant in your body. This means it helps fight free radicals. These are molecules that damage your body’s cells. Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions in your body. It also helps detoxify chemicals, including some your body produces naturally, such as pollutants and drugs. 

Your supply of glutathione seems to decrease as you age, probably because your body doesn’t produce as much. Low levels of glutathione appear to be associated with poor health. For example, low levels can play a role in many conditions that tend to develop in the elderly. Glutathione uses also helps detoxify the skin and improve the immune system and skin health.

Some people take glutathione:

  • For its antioxidant power
  • As a detoxification agent
  • To attempt to protect themselves from the harmful effects of radiation and chemotherapy for cancer; there is no evidence that glutathione works in this regard.

People also take glutathione to try to treat weakened immune systems or infertility, as well as many other conditions.

In fact, taking glutathione by mouth does not appear to be an effective way to get it into your body. It is thought that glutathione may be broken down by enzymes in the stomach.
