After becoming a health professional in 2007, it wasn't long before I was studying glutathione in depth. It is the body's master antioxidant, helping to prevent and delay cellular damage. It runs alongside just a few other elements in the body's built-in (endogenous) antioxidant system. (These are far more important than any antioxidant you could consume.)
According to WebMD, "Glutathione is involved in many processes in the body, including tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and for the immune system." That same page talks about its medical use (via injection) to combat the poisonous effects of chemotherapy and to address a number of other medical conditions.
Produced by the liver to help detox the body, it has been and continues to be studied for a wide range of health benefits. With over 150,000 articles referencing glutathione on the government's National Library of Medicine website (see here), we get a glimpse at its potential power when the body has enough available:
Wondering if increased glutathione (GSH) levels could help with a challenge you're having? Or to help with a virus or other issue? Just search that website to see what scientists are learning.
I could go on all day with its general cleansing and protective and even repairing effects across the body, from the liver to the eyes to the DNA. But in short, you need and want healthy levels of glutathione, and -- unsurprisingly -- it decreases with age.
So how do you go about boosting it?
Yes, there are foods and supplements that contain glutathione. But glutathione normally doesn't make it through the digestive process, and our production process in the liver (from glutathione components) slows down as we age.
This is why I'm intrigued by a NANO glutathione product that is meant to get this nutrient almost instantly into your bloodstream. (Historically, people with loads of cash have paid big bucks for glutathione IV infusions that are only useful for a few days.)
My only hesitation around the product is that there are no published studies, so I can't validate their claims.
This is a liquid product with a subtle and refreshing peppermint flavor that you swish in your mouth for 30 seconds and swallow. Easy, enjoyable, and may be highly beneficial for your health.
Notice it includes other nano nutrients as well, including l-cysteine, vitamin C, NAC, alpha lipoic acid, and curcumin:

- One study shows its potential for use in ear, nose, and throat conditions.
- Another study shows that glutathione (GSH) "metabolism will therefore have major a impact upon function of cells in terms of both defense and normal physiology."
- Another study speaks of its potential in brain health: "Patients with inborn errors of glutathione metabolism often exhibit progressive neurological problems. Therefore, increasing brain glutathione levels may have therapeutic benefits."
