Detox & Immune Support
Glutathione
Glutathione is the body's most abundant and powerful endogenous antioxidant, playing a central role in detoxification, immune function, and cellular protection against oxidative stress. Often called the 'master antioxidant,' it is produced in every cell and is critical for liver detoxification pathways.
Key research findings
Most abundant intracellular antioxidant in the human body
Essential for Phase II liver detoxification and heavy metal chelation
Levels decline with age, chronic stress, poor nutrition, and environmental toxin exposure
IV and oral glutathione supplementation studied for immune support and oxidative stress reduction
Critical role in immune cell function, particularly T-cell and natural killer cell activity
