What is glutathione?
It is a substance that is made from the amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. It is produced by the liver and is involved in many other body processes.
It helps flush out the toxins in the liver.
Glutathione is majorly involved in tissue repair and building, making proteins and chemicals needed in the body, and also in immune system function.
Talking more about this substance, it is an antioxidant which is found in animals, plants, some bacteria, and fungi.
It benefits us by preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species, peroxides, lipid peroxides, free radicals, and heavy metals.
What does glutathione do to your body?
Glutathione benefits our body as it prevents and protects us from diseases, slows down the progression of cancer, improves insulin sensitivity, and much more. Some people also swear by its anti-aging properties, and some say it also increases fat metabolism.
Important functions:
- Making DNA (the building blocks of cells and proteins)
- Breaking down of free radicals
- Regeneration of vitamins such as vitamin C and E

- Helping the gallbladder and liver deal with fats
- Assisting regular apoptosis (a process of cell death of potentially damaged cells)

Glutathione benefits our skin as it is as an antioxidant and has ability to reduce free radicals (unstable molecules) that potentially damage the cells and also contribute to the ageing process.
Does glutathione help with skin whitening?
Some studies have shown that glutathione helps to reduce the production of melanin (a pigment), which leads to a more even toned skin, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
It is widely used by dermatologists all over the world during a number of skin treatments.
It is available on the market in different forms, such as injectables, soaps, creams, and tablets.
Glutathione injections
As we age, our skin shows signs of ageing such as wrinkles, dullness, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sagging, dehydrated skin, etc.
