What is Glutathione
Glutathione is produced naturally in our cells if the required building blocks are available. As an antioxidant, glutathione is present in every cell in your body to protect them from free radicals and oxidative stress, which is caused by environmental pollutants, diet, stress, and even exercise, just to name a few.
Just as a car generates exhaust when it burns gasoline to produce energy, the body’s natural processes generate “exhaust” as well-free radicals. These in turn can start chain reactions of oxidative stress that damage cells. Preventing these chain reactions is critical, as oxidative stress has been associated with more than 74 major diseases and disorders. Antioxidants halt these chain reactions. The reason glutathione is so important and effective is that it can subdue many more free radicals than its antioxidant cousins.
