Thorne Glutathione-SR 60 cap

Thorne's Glutathione-SR is a naturally occurring antioxidant in cells, acting as a cofactor in many enzymatic detoxification processes. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and offers numerous health benefits, including Aid for liver, lung, immune, bowel, cardiovascular, cognitive, and eye health, as well as carbohydrate metabolism. The sustained-release formula of Glutathione-SR protects it from stomach acid and digestive enzymes, providing a slower, steadier release of this essential nutrient into the bloodstream.

As the body's most abundant antioxidant, glutathione is especially crucial for athletes, who experience higher oxidative stress from training and competition. Exercise lasting longer than 60-90 minutes can significantly reduce blood glutathione levels, making supplementation vital for endurance athletes.

The liver, being the body’s largest reservoir of glutathione, relies on it for phase I and phase II detoxification. Unhealthy lifestyles and conditions affecting liver health can deplete glutathione levels.

Maintaining optimal glutathione levels is also important for cognitive health, particularly as we age. Aging is associated with reduced glutathione activity, which can lead to increased oxidative stress. Lower glutathione levels are often found in individuals with declining cognitive function, while those who live to 100 typically have higher glutathione activity.

Despite misconceptions, research shows that glutathione is effectively absorbed orally, with a specific uptake system in the intestinal lining ensuring efficient absorption.\
