Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and regulator of numerous biochemical processes. It is abundant in human tissues but tends to decrease with aging. Research shows that glutathione may help reduce neurodegenerative diseases, promote cartilage health, prevent age-related eye changes, improve immune function, and maintain younger-looking skin. Overall, there is solid evidence that glutathione is a potent anti-aging compound with wide-ranging immunological and health benefits.
Description
L-Glutathione is a short peptide composed solely of cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It is naturally produced throughout the body and primarily acts as an antioxidant and supporting agent for a variety of processes in the central nervous system. Glutathione is especially important in liver detoxification processes and as a free radical scavenger in the brain. There is extensive evidence suggesting that the loss of glutathione may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, as well as eye diseases like cataracts and diabetic retinopathy.
Reduced glutathione levels are believed to be a consequence of aging and also contribute to the aging process. Chronic diseases also reduce glutathione levels.

To use L-Glutathione, it is typically taken in oral supplement form, with recommended dosages ranging from 250 to 500 mg daily. It can also be administered intravenously or intramuscularly under medical supervision for faster absorption. For skin health or anti-aging benefits, topical applications like creams or serums may be used. It’s best taken on an empty stomach to enhance absorption. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation to determine the right dosage for your needs.
