How it Works

• Glutathione functions extensively in tissues and organs throughout the body.
• It plays critical roles in protecting the body from oxidative stress, maintaining cellular functions, and supporting healthy immune function.
• Many factors can increase cellular exposure to oxidative insult, and therefore increase cellular consumption of nutrients—such as glutathione—that provide antioxidant activity.
• This may result in a fierce cycle of oxidative stress and challenges to detoxification. Complete biotransformation and protection from oxidative stress are important to maintaining cellular integrity and tissue health. (8)
• Much information related to mitochondrial health has surfaced in scientific literature. Mitochondria, the energy-producing powerhouses of cells, are also the primary intracellular site of oxygen consumption and the major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
• S-acetyl glutathione has been shown to cross the membrane of the mitochondria, increasing the organelle's activity and minimizing ROS.(5)
• Reduction of ROS is associated with maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function, and improved mitochondrial health is believed to support overall health and energy.
• Use of stomach acid-resistant capsules (DRcaps) further protect stability. Laboratory data showed that S-acetyl glutathione increased intracellular glutathione and had a positive effect on many oxidative stress biomarkers. (9)
