Glutathione

Glutathione is an important detoxifier. It attaches itself to toxins in the body like harmful metal, solvents, or pesticides, and allows them to be flushed out of the body in the form of faeces or bile. Glutathione is also a powerful antioxidant. Early studies have shown that glutathione, which can be absorbed through the diet in the form of fruit or raw vegetables, can help prevent certain types of cancer. Glutathione has also been shown to prevent cancer in laboratory and animal research. Early studies indicate that large amounts of glutathione have improved wellness in the elderly.

Certain medical practitioners think that taking pure glutathione in oral form may not be as useful as taking a combination of certain other supplements to support the increase the amount of glutathione your body generates in the blood. For example, vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid, glutamine, methionine, S-adenosyl methionine, and whey protein also increase the levels of glutathione in the blood. Integral to the production of glutathione are vitamin B6, riboflavin, and selenium.
