Glutathione is considered to be the most powerful, most versatile, and most important of the body's self-generated antioxidants. Glutathione is a tripeptide amino acid produced in the liver primarily from cysteine. It acts as a cellular antioxidant by inhibiting free radical proliferation. Reduced glutathione (GSH) is a linear tripeptide of L-glutamine, L-cysteine, and glycine. Reduced Glutathione Sublingual Complex contains glutathione (GSH), a key element of the liver's detoxifying process, and also the precursor for glutathione peroxidase, a major free radical-scavenging enzyme. Reduced Glutathione is an ubiquitous antioxidant involved in many cellular functions such as detoxification, amino acid transport, production of coenzymes and recycling of vitamins E and C. The concentration of glutathione declines with age and in some age-related diseases.
