Glutathione 600mg
Your body's primary cellular antioxidant — produced by every cell but known to decline with age. A foundational compound in cellular health research, studied extensively for its role in oxidative defense and skin science.
How It Works
The Target
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) throughout the body. Glutathione is the body's most abundant endogenous antioxidant — present in virtually every cell.
The Mechanism
Three primary actions: (1) Directly neutralizes free radicals by donating thiol electrons. (2) Serves as a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide. (3) Regenerates other antioxidants like vitamins C and E back to their active forms. Also inhibits tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin production.
Why It Matters
Glutathione depletion is associated with aging and numerous degenerative conditions. Supplementation studies show it can elevate body stores and improve markers of oxidative stress, with the melanin inhibition pathway driving interest in skin research.
