Glutathione is an antioxidant made up of three main amino acids; glutamine, glycine and cysteine, and is produced naturally in your liver and found in every cell in your body. It helps to reduce oxidative stress and fight free radicals which can damage cells, aids in tissue building and repair, and supports the function of the immune system.
Many foods contain glutathione or sulphur, which can help to boost glutathione production in the body. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale and Brussels sprouts, eggs, nuts and lean proteins will all help glutathione production. Whey protein, milk thistle and flaxseed also contain compounds and amino acids which can be beneficial in generating glutathione.
Our skin brightening supplement containing vitamin B7 and glutathione can be taken daily as a delicious drink. We recommend consulting your GP before taking any new supplements and sticking to the suggested dose of any vitamins and supplements.
Symptoms such as a lowered immune system which can lead to frequent colds and flu, fatigue, brain fog and muscle aches and pains could be a sign of a mild glutathione deficiency, however we always recommend discussing symptoms with your doctor.
