What glutathione is.
Glutathione is a molecule the body produces and uses inside cells. It is connected with internal antioxidant systems and redox balance.
That makes it relevant in many research conversations, but relevance is not the same as a universal product promise.
Why people talk about it.
Oxidative stress and internal antioxidant systems appear in conversations about wellness, aging, physical activity and cellular health. The key is to separate mechanism, evidence and product choice.
Oxidative stress and cellular balance.
The body naturally produces reactive molecules and also has systems to manage balance. Glutathione participates within that broader internal network.
Why cysteine and cystine matter.
To produce glutathione, the body needs building blocks. Cysteine/cystine is one of the sensitive pieces in this conversation, which is why Immunocal focuses on undenatured whey protein and Bound Cysteine®.
