🧬 Glutathione (GSH) – “The Master Antioxidant”
1. Antioxidant Powerhouse
•Neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress.
•Protects DNA, proteins, and lipids from damage.
•Helps recycle other antioxidants like Vitamin C and E.
2. Detoxification & Liver Support
•Central to Phase II liver detox pathways.
•Binds to toxins, heavy metals, alcohol byproducts, and drugs for excretion.
•Shields liver cells from damage (especially from acetaminophen, alcohol, and environmental pollutants).
3. Immune System Booster
•Enhances T-cell and NK-cell activity.
•Regulates inflammation and supports defense against infections.
•Helps restore immune function in states of depletion (illness, overtraining, chronic stress).
4. Cellular Repair & Anti-Aging
•Preserves mitochondrial function (the cell’s energy powerhouse).
•Delays cellular senescence (slowing signs of aging at the cellular level).
•Improves skin health, reducing hyperpigmentation and brightening complexion.
5. Athletic & Recovery Benefits
•Reduces muscle fatigue and oxidative stress after training.
•Speeds recovery by supporting tissue repair.
•May improve lung function and oxygen efficiency during exercise.
Why Glutathione is Special
Unlike single-action peptides, Glutathione works as a systemic shield—covering antioxidant defense, detox, immunity, energy, and recovery. This makes it one of the most versatile and widely used “wellness” peptides/supplements for both performance and longevity.
