Glutathione may be the most important antioxidant in the body. This antioxidant does not only protect the body from harmful free radicals and environmental toxins. It also has the ability to reactivate other antioxidants.

After antioxidants like Vitamin E and C have performed their duties, they often remain in the body in an unstable form. Glutathione has the ability to recycle these vitamins, restoring their ability to neutralize free radicals.

Glutathione provides a number of other health benefits. By lowering the oxidative stress in the brain, this antioxidant can provide relief to people with depression and mood disorders. It may also improve immune health, cardiovascular health, and may help to prevent age-related diseases like Alzheimer's. It has also been used to promote male fertility and to treat asthma.
