Preclinical research suggests S-Acetyl-L-Glutathione is more stable in the blood and increases glutathione levels within cells better than non-acetylated glutathione
As an antioxidant, glutathione directly helps quench several reactive oxygen species (free radicals). The body’s benefits from maintaining a normal level of glutathione include support for liver function, pulmonary function, immune function, bowel health, carbohydrate metabolism, cardiovascular health, cognitive health, and eye health.
S-Acetyl Glutathione (S-A-GSH) is a unique form of glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants naturally produced in the body. It has an acetyl group (COCH3) attached to the sulfur atom of cysteine in the glutathione molecule. S-A-GSH is well-suited for oral ingestion, because this acetyl group protects glutathione from breaking down in the gastrointestinal tract. Once absorbed and inside the cells it is removed, thus leaving the glutathione molecule intact. S-A-GSH helps to support immune function and to optimize glutathione-dependent hepatic detoxification pathways.
