Glutathione

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is one of the most potent antioxidants and that's why it is considered as the "Master Antioxidant" of our body. It is a tripeptide (made with 3 amino acids) consisting of cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine and is manufactured in the liver.

It is the most abundant molecule (endogenous antioxidant) with the lowest molecular weight, hence plays a crucial role in cellular detoxification and acts as a reducing agent. [1]

One of the unique aspects of glutathione is its ability to regenerate the exogenous antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, effectively recycling them to continue their protective work in the body. This makes glutathione a critical player in the fight against oxidative stress and cellular damage.

Some other functions that Glutathione performs in our body include:

  • DNA Synthesis
  • Supports Immune System
  • Get Rid of Free Radicals
  • Formation of Sperm Cells
  • Manages Apoptosis (Cell death) and more.

Glutathione Uses & Benefits

Uses & Benefits

Description

Powerful Antioxidant

Glutathione is renowned for its potent antioxidant properties. It helps neutralize free radicals - unstable molecules that can damage cells, proteins, and DNA. These free radicals cause oxidative stress when there is no balance between their levels and your body's potential to fight with them.

By reducing this oxidative stress, glutathione protects your body from the damaging effects of pollution, toxins, and other environmental stressors. This protection is crucial for preventing chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Improves Immune Responses

One of the most important functions of glutathione is to enhance the immune response of your body. Research shows that glutathione supports the energy-producing pathways and helps in detoxification to support our immune system. However certain studies also suggest that glutathione has a direct impact on the immune system as well.

During a study, it was observed that regular dosage of glutathione to people helped reduce their oxidative stress and bacterial burden as well. [2] However, in another study as well, researchers observed an increase in immune markers after supplementing with glutathione. [3]

Manages Insulin Resistance

Glutathione plays an important role in improving insulin sensitivity and reducing insulin resistance. One gets diabetic when their body either doesn't produce the required insulin or is not able to utilize it. And, this condition can cause oxidative stress in the body.

And, the lower levels of Glutathione can cause more oxidative stress and insulin resistance. It has been researched as well that people with insulin resistance often have lower Glutathione levels. [4][5]

So maintaining optimal glutathione levels can help manage insulin sensitivity.

Decreases the Cell Damage in Liver Issues

The liver has a vital role in detoxification and other metabolic activities in our body. Oxidative stress can slow down the functioning of the liver which is why the liver produces Glutathione inside its cells to combat the oxidative stress and harmful oxidative reactions taking place.

Studies on animals suggest that lower levels of glutathione make them develop liver diseases. Moreover, people with NAFLD when treated with Glutathione, show better levels of ALT, triglycerides, fatty acids, etc. [6][7]

Show Anti-Aging Benefits

Aging is associated with a decline in antioxidant levels and an increase in oxidative stress. This decline in antioxidants and oxidative stress is first seen on the skin, causing wrinkles, lower elasticity, and so on.

Glutathione helps combat the signs of aging by protecting cells from damage, supporting detoxification, and promoting healthy skin. By maintaining higher levels of glutathione, you can help slow the aging process and maintain a youthful appearance and vitality. Studies also show the effects of Glutathione in reducing the signs of aging. [8]

Have Skin Lightening Properties

Along with the excellent antioxidant properties, the anti-melanogenic properties of Glutathione promote skin lightening when consumed. Researchers have also concluded it to be a wonderful drug for hyperpigmentation as well. [9][10]

Glutathione Dosage

There is no scientifically defined dosage of glutathione for anyone. It may depend on the individual body requirements and other factors like age, sex, or medical concerns.

Studies show that any range between 250 to 1000 mg per day is well tolerated by most people. In case someone has a deficiency of Glutathione, he may take 500 mg of it to fulfill this deficiency[11] However, as per research, it was observed that 250 mg of oxidized and reduced glutathione per day helps in enhancing skin properties in middle-aged women[12]

It is still controversial whether oral supplementation for glutathione works well or not. So it is suggested that one should take the liposomal form of glutathione which has comparatively better bioavailability and absorption.

When to Take Glutathione?

Time of the Day: One should take a Glutathione supplement at night to maximize absorption.

With Food: The best way to consume Glutathione supplement is empty stomach. You can take it after 2-3 hours of having your meal at night.

Glutathione Side Effects & Additional Tips

Side Effects: As per clinical studies, side effects of any supplement are closely linked to the dosage you would be consuming. Always consult a health practitioner for appropriate dosage. In case you exceed the dose, you may experience abdominal cramps, bloating, trouble breathing, or itchiness.

Interactions: Glutathione may not work well with certain medications like acetaminophen. Also, people on chemotherapy should avoid or consult their doctor before taking Glutathione. If you're on any regular medication, it is safe to consult a health practitioner for any possible reactions.
