Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in cells. Glutathione levels in the body may be reduced by a number of factors, including poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress. Its levels also decline with age.
But what are the benefits of Glutathione:
1. Reduces oxidative stress
Too-high levels of oxidative stress may be a precursor to multiple diseases. These include diabetes, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. Glutathione helps reduce the impact of oxidative stress, which may, in turn, reduce disease.
2. Reduces cell damage fatty liver disease
Glutathione has been shown to improve protein, enzyme, and bilirubin levels in the blood of individuals with alcoholic and nonalcoholic chronic fatty liver disease.
3. Brightens skin
Glutathione encourages the regeneration of cells, which promotes a healthy-looking complexion and even skin tone. Its anti inflammatory properties also improve minor imperfections such as red spots, rough patches and acne.
4. Improves insulin resistance in older individuals
As people age, they produce less glutathione.
5. Increases mobility for people with peripheral artery disease
Peripheral artery disease occurs when the peripheral arteries become clogged by plaque. Glutathione may help improve circulation.
6. May help fight against autoimmune disease
The chronic inflammation caused by autoimmune diseases can increase oxidative stress. These diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, and lupus. Glutathione may help reduce oxidative stress by either stimulating or reducing the body’s immunological response.
