Glutathione

Glutathione is basically your body’s main antioxidant “clean-up crew.” It’s a small molecule (made from 3 amino acids) that your cells use to:

• Neutralize oxidative stress (it helps mop up “free radicals” that can damage cells)

• Support liver detox pathways (it’s used in phase II detox reactions so your body can process and clear certain compounds)

• Recycle other antioxidants like vitamins C and E so they keep working

• Support immune function (immune cells use glutathione to function and handle inflammation/oxidative load)

• Skin tone/brightening (indirectly): glutathione is involved in melanin pathways, so some people chase it for “brightening,” but results vary a lot and the evidence is mixed—especially depending on oral vs IV/injection.
