What are glutathione supplements good for?

Glutathione is a crucial antioxidant made in the body. It plays a key role in immune health, tissue healing and liver health. It's popular as a liver cleanse supplement. Glutathione is made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine.

Certain factors can lead to glutathione depletion

• Increasing age
• Less than ideal diet
• If you drink alcohol
• Chronic stress or fatigue
• Exposure to pollution
• Certain medications

Liposomal glutathione

The development of liposomal encapsulation technology in recent years has made supplements more absorbable.

If you're over 50 and drink alcohol, a liposomal glutathione like BioBalance Liposomal Glutathione is easy to absorb.

N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) vs. glutathione

N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is a glutathione precursor, from the amino acid cysteine. The liver uses NAC to make glutathione.

N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) supplements are another option for glutathione and immune system support.
