Should we start a series of floor chats with Kat!? 😂
In all seriousness, GLUTATHIONE
the “master antioxidant” because of its central role in protecting cells and maintaining health.
🧬1. Powerful Antioxidant Protection
Glutathione neutralizes free radicals and reactive oxygen species that can damage cells, DNA, and proteins.
It helps regenerate other antioxidants like vitamins C and E, making your body’s defense system stronger.
🧫 2. Detoxification Support
The liver uses glutathione to bind and eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and harmful compounds through urine or bile.
It plays a crucial role in Phase II liver detoxification, helping convert fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble forms for excretion.
🧠 3. Cellular and Mitochondrial Protection
Protects mitochondria (your cells’ energy factories) from oxidative stress, supporting better energy production and slower cellular aging.
Helps maintain the health of rapidly regenerating tissues like the liver, skin, and immune cells.
💉 4. Immune System Support
Glutathione is essential for the activation and proliferation of immune cells (especially T cells and natural killer cells).
Low glutathione levels are linked to weakened immune response and increased susceptibility to illness.
💊 5. Anti-Aging and Skin Health
Supports skin brightening and even tone by inhibiting melanin synthesis.
Reduces oxidative damage that contributes to wrinkles, sagging, and dullness.
👉🏼This is why glutathione is common in skin-lightening supplements.
❤️ 6. Chronic Disease Prevention
Adequate glutathione levels are associated with lower risk of:
1. Heart disease (via reduced oxidative stress and inflammation)
2.Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
3.Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
4.Certain cancers (by protecting DNA and supporting detoxification)
⚙️ 7. Cellular Repair and Regulation
Helps maintain proper protein structure and DNA synthesis/repair.
