Known as the master antioxidant, glutathione is the body’s primary mechanism for neutralizing free radicals. An imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants can cause oxidative stress. Maintaining a healthy level of antioxidants is important in supporting many healthy body functions such as cellular energy production, cognitive function, immune function & detoxification.
Glutathione also helps by recycling other antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E.
Since glutathione contains cysteine, it also plays a role in transporting this amino acid throughout the body for different metabolic functions.
Supporting a healthy detoxification process of both endogenous and environmental toxins is another critical function of glutathione in the body. Because of its role in detoxification, high concentrations of glutathione naturally exist in the liver. Hepatocytes can have as much as ten times the amount of reduced or active glutathione (GSH) than other cells.
What is not as well known is that the lungs also have a high amount of glutathione. Epithelial cells in the lining of the lung secrete glutathione which helps with gas exchange.
The mitochondria are the producers of cellular energy, or ATP in the body. Glutathione, in its role as an antioxidant, supports healthy mitochondrial function. Therefore, glutathione has a role in supporting healthy cellular energy production in the body.
One of the other functions not as well known about glutathione is its role in promoting healthy natural killer cell function. It also has a role in supporting T cell function. By increasing T cells, it increases the production of cytokines that support the immune system. A recently published research study demonstrated that liposomal glutathione had a profound effect on natural killer cell function (the front line of the immune system).
Due to its critical roles in the body, glutathione is an essential nutrient for all of us. The stress of daily life, exposure to environmental toxins, physical overexertion, physical & mental stress, as well as an overworked and underperforming immune system all elevate oxidative stress, increasing the need for maintaining healthy levels of antioxidants such as glutathione. Glutathione levels also decrease as we age, with the largest decline taking place in the brain. The liver and lungs also require significant glutathione to perform in a healthy manner.
***Liposomal glutathione refers to glutathione that has undergone a special process that encapsulates the glutathione molecule inside of a lipid. Doing this protects the glutathione and dramatically improves absorption.
