Natural Factors - Glutathione LipoMicel Matrix

Product Notes:

Glutathione may be the "mother of all antioxidants" and it's a key soldier in our body's ongoing battles with age-related conditions, but it's not easy to really increase our levels of it through direct supplementation, since it gets rapidly oxidized in the GI tract.

To get around that, this new type not only presents a clinically effective dose of it in its "Reduced" or non-oxidized, stable form, but also uses the same patent-pending technology which has made their Quercetin ten times more absorbable than some other types to envelop it in tiny micro-droplets of fat, so it'll survive the journey through the digestive system and be absorbed up to three times better than conventional types.

Glutathione is a tripeptide amino acid which our livers produce on their own, mainly from cysteine (although it can be found in some fruits and vegetables, as well). Glutathione deficiency has been associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes, lung and gastrointestinal disease, pre-eclampsia (a pregnancy complication), Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, and poor AIDS prognosis.

Glutathione has a number of important biochemical roles in the body, such as helping to make DNA, proteins, and prostaglandin; transporting other amino acids; and activating enzymes.

It's also involved in repairing DNA, metabolizing toxins and carcinogens, assisting in immune system function, and preventing oxidative cell damage – which is to say, it acts as a powerful cellular antioxidant.
