Glutathione (GSH) is essential for various bodily functions, particularly in maintaining cell health by regulating the balance between antioxidants and oxidants. Low levels of GSH can weaken the body's defenses against oxidative stress, while higher levels help protect cells against oxidative damage.
Glutathione plays several critical roles, including neutralizing harmful free radicals, supporting antioxidant enzymes, regenerating vitamins C and E, aiding the liver in detoxifying toxins, and promoting mitochondrial health and DNA integrity.
Glutathione exists in two forms—reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG)—and the balance between them determines cellular health.
Disruptions in this balance are linked to aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and various diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders.

Factors such as genetics, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins can affect GSH levels, thereby increasing the body's need for it.
Supplements, including glutathione, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and vitamin C, can help support healthy glutathione levels, enhance the body’s antioxidant capacity, and/or reduce oxidative stress.
