Glutathione - LifePro

This health food supplement is composed of glutathione as its main component. It is an essential molecule produced naturally in all our cells. It is made from amino acids present in our diet, such as cysteine, which is often the limiting component for its production. Glutamic acid first binds to cysteine ​​to form a gamma-glutamyl bond, then this combination binds to glycine to complete the tripeptide structure. This process then allows the formation of glutathione.

In addition to being synthesized by our body, glutathione can also be absorbed directly from foods rich in glutathione or glutathione precursors.
The best food sources include fresh fruits like strawberries, avocados, and oranges, as well as green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale. Other foods rich in glutathione precursors, like cysteine, include eggs, garlic, onions, and whole grains. While eating foods rich in glutathione can support levels in our bodies, most glutathione is produced by our own bodies, that is, through endogenous synthesis .
