Aliness L-Glutathione is a dietary supplement composed of reduced glutathione, i.e. a biologically active form of the compound. The preparation is available in the form of vegan capsules.

Glutathione is an organic chemical compound naturally produced in the human body. Its structure is dominated by amino acid residues of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. The most important factors determining the biological activity of the compound are the presence of a thiol group, carboxyl groups and a g-glutamyl bond.

Glutathione is one of the key antioxidants synthesized in the body. The chemical structure of the compound allows it to react easily with free radicals and to efficiently neutralize them. Besides, the compound can regenerate other antioxidants, e.g. vitamin C and E. It is also involved in the regeneration of damaged cell components (especially proteins) – it protects thiol groups in proteins against irreversible oxidation and restores them to a reduced form, thanks to which they retain their functional activity.

Glutathione plays an important role in the detoxification process. Thanks to its structure, it easily binds health-threatening heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. Moreover, it supports the elimination of poisonous nitrogen and halogenated compounds, nitrosamines, and pesticides. In addition, it protects liver cells from the toxic effects of certain substances, e.g. paracetamol. This popular analgesic – taken in high doses at low levels of glutathione – is lethal for hepatocytes and leads to their irreversible damage.

Glutathione promotes the strengthening of immunity. A balanced level of this compound is necessary for the proper functioning of lymphoid cells and optimal phagocytic activity. Researchers have observed that decreased glutathione levels are usually associated with some disorders of the functioning of the body and greater susceptibility to infection.

Glutathione has a beneficial effect on the process of athletic development. It may reduce the production of catabolic lysosomal enzymes, promotes the formation of a positive nitrogen balance and supports protein synthesis. Moreover, it helps to maintain optimal levels of cortisol and stimulates the release of growth hormone.

In summary, Aliness L-Glutathione is a multifunctional dietary supplement that can be used for both pro-health and sports purposes. It is especially recommended for people exposed to frequent contact with toxins.
