What is Glutathione?

When we talk about skin whitening compound, glutathione always gets its way on the list.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that is well-known for skin lightening effects. However, there's more about glutathione than what the general populace knows.

The liver produces glutathione naturally. Glutathione is known as the "master antioxidant" because it strengthens and repairs the cell walls for better and young-looking skin.

Benefits of Glutathione

1. Reduces Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress happens when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals or the cell-damaging chemicals and antioxidants in your body to fight them off.
Glutathione repels the impact caused by oxidative stress that damages the cells resulting in illness and aging.

2. Reduces cell damage

Antioxidant deficiency, including glutathione, may result in cell death. This may result in fatty liver disease or is also known as hepatic steatosis.

3. It can improve the body's ability to burn fat in adults

As we age, our body's ability to burn fat diminishes, which is associated with lessened glutathione levels.
Maintaining optimal levels of glutathione is essential to your health and this will lead to loss of fat weight and will lessen your chance of having diabetes.

4. Good for the skin

Far from what has been promoted in the Philippine market, glutathione, when taken orally, may improve wrinkles and skin elasticity. Essentially, glutathione may work as an anti-aging agent.
