What is glutathione?

Glutathione is a tripeptide, a small molecule made up of three linked amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. The human body produces glutathione itself and it is found in almost every cell of the body. In the diet, glutathione is obtained in small amounts from, for example, vegetables, fruit and meat; relatively higher amounts are found in asparagus, avocado and spinach. Glutathione exists in two forms: the reduced form, abbreviated GSH, and the oxidised form, abbreviated GSSG. This product uses the reduced form. The capsule contains no active ingredients other than glutathione, which keeps the formula clear and easy to combine with the rest of your diet.

How to use?

Take one capsule a day, preferably on an empty stomach, for example in the morning before breakfast or between meals, and swallow it with a glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you also take other food supplements containing glutathione, add up the amounts. After opening, close the bottle tightly and keep it in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
