Glutathione &
Glyteine
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids – glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Glyteine helps maintain healthy glutathione homeostasis.
The Importance of
Glutathione
Glutathione, the “master antioxidant”, is produced and used in every cell in your body. It is the most powerful antioxidant used by nature to actively fight oxidative stress. All other major antioxidants are dependent on your cells having enough glutathione
The Importance of
Glyteine
Glyteine is your body’s own natural and immediate precursor to glutathione. It is the only nutrient with proven clinical bioavailability to take cellular glutathione well beyond homeostasis level.
Glyteine’s role in
cellular Glutathione
The intracellular concentration of Glyteine is low, allowing it to diffuse into the cell. Once inside the cell, Glyteine is used up immediately to make more glutathione.
EXPLORE THE BENEFITS OF RAISING YOUR CELLULAR GLUTATHIONE WITH GLYTEINE
Glutathione plays a key role in neutralizing the free radicals that we continuously produce through normal breathing and daily activities. It benefits us in many ways by acting as a powerful and vital antioxidant.
Boost your immunity
Glutathione is a key player in the immune system, the pathology of infection and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. The maintenance of a healthy homeostatic level of cellular glutathione is critical for supporting a healthy immune system.
Detoxify your body
Glutathione plays an essential part in neutralizing free radicals and other reactive oxygen species such as peroxide that are by-products of energy generation. It also assists in detoxifying many potentially harmful compounds in our bodies, such as heavy metals and other environmental pollutants.
Protect your brain
A compromised glutathione system in the brain is strongly correlated with oxidative stress and has shown to be implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease
Maintain your respiratory health
Many respiratory conditions are associated with glutathione deficiency. These include acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and various types of infections.
Protect your digestive system
Our digestive system evolved a complex biochemistry to counter all of the potential toxins we may eat on a daily basis. The first line of defence is the mucosal lining of our intestinal tract which is rich in glutathione and plays a vital role in gut barrier function.
Improve sports recovery
As the intensity of exercise increases, our energy output increases, and so does the production of free radicals. If the generation of these free radicals outstrips the natural cellular production rate of glutathione, then this can lead to oxidative stress, which can damage our cells. Increasing the glutathione in our cells and tissue can support optimal physical activity and recovery from that activity.
