GLUTATHIONE BACKGROUND
IMPORTANCE II
GSH, alone in the antioxidant world, regenerates (recycles) directly and indirectly a variety of other antioxidants including vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid and vitamin E.
More than six (6) percent of the total energy (ATP) production of the whole body may be used to synthesize and regulate intracellular glutathione levels.
GSH is the only non-enzyme antioxidant that does not itself become a free radical after it has quenched a free radical. In fact, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) induces delta-wave sleep.
