Without the “Antioxidant Network” the body cannot survive. Many diseases that occur more frequently in old age, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, eye and skin diseases, tumors, etc. are the result of oxidation processes of body tissues. Here L-glutathione (GSH) in its reduced form has a key position.

It is capable of detoxifying radicals and regenerating vitamin E. This is of great significance because no time should pass in the defense of free radicals. In fractions of a second sensitive membrane structures can be destroyed. Therefore precisely here, speed is extremely important. The above diagram illustrates the relationship between glutathione and vitamin E via the intermediary of vitamin C. Glutathione contains biological sulfur and also works synergistically with Alpha lipoic acid. NADH is important for the regeneration of glutathione.

Contrary to the often expressed opinion, glutathione is bioavailable in oral form. Please refer to the following article: Bioavailability of Oral Glutathione
