So today I'm gonna walk you through the 15 most asked questions about glutathione.
What is it?
What it does?
What depletes it?
How do you bring it back?
And at the end, I'll show you the only delivery method that's been shown to nearly triple your absorption and why I personally take it every single day.
This is the Ultimate Human Podcast, so let's get into it.
Question number one, what is glutathione?
Well, glutathione is a tripeptide, meaning three amino acids, glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine.
It's produced naturally by your liver.
It is called the master antioxidant and it's found in every single cell in the human body,
That's right, not one cell in your body is not containing glutathione, with the highest concentrations in the liver, spleen, your eyes, skin, and brain.
L-glutathione is the active, biologically usable form discovered in 1888, but its role wasn't fully understood until the 1980s.
Your body makes it on demand, and it's not stored for long-term, which is why daily supplementation matters.
If antioxidants were a support team, vitamin C and vitamin E would be the role players.
Glutathione is the captain.
So question number two, what does glutathione actually do for your body?
Well, it detoxifies the liver, it binds to heavy metals, plastics, alcohol byproducts, pharmaceutical residues, and it just escorts them right out of your body.
It recycles other antioxidants.
It reactivates vitamin C and vitamin E so they keep working.
