S-Acetyl Glutathione

Glutathione is a naturally occurring tri-peptide that is considered a powerhouse antioxidant, synthesized naturally in the body. As we age, the body’s ability to produce and recycle Glutathione declines. That is why it is necessary to supplement Glutathione.

There are a lot of benefits to taking Glutathione orally. However, taken alone, it will be of little use, Glutathione rapidly degrades once it hits the stomach. Hydrochloric acid dissolves the Glutathione molecules before they can become absorbed, allowing only a fraction of the Glutathione to actually reach your cells. Acetyl Glutathione is used to help overcome the problems with absorption. Increasing the amount of Glutathione that reaches the cells, this acetylated form permeates the barriers that once held back the benefits of supplementing Glutathione orally.
