Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of 3 amino acids: cysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine. As we get older our natural occurring levels get depleted. Levels can also be affected when we are under a lot of stress, when we get sick and are trying to fight infections, or can also decrease if we consume a poor diet primarily of junk food. This powerful antioxidant is ideal for both men and women for its detoxing and anti-aging properties as it provides critical roles in our body.
