Antioxidant - GSH is the master Antioxidant of the body, our body depends on GSH for the removal of toxic substances and GSH is the heart of all immune functions. Other antioxidants in our body depend on GSH to be able to function properly.

Detoxification - GSH detoxifies a large number of pollutants by binding to carcinogenic substances, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and radiation by forming a soluble connection to the poison that can then be excreted through urine or gal.

Immune system - Healthy growth and activity of the immune cells depends on GSH availability. GSH's protective activity is twofold - it improves immune cells activity and acts as an antioxidant in them as well.

Increased energy - Our energy levels are the result of many factors - from the biochemical reactions that take place in our cells, to the muscle function and even your feeling of wellbeing. GSH ensures that the mitochondria of a cell remain fully loaded, thus improving muscle strength and endurance. Clinical studies have shown that lowering GSH in the mitochondria result in cell death.

Repair - Our body is constantly attacked by free radicals, some of external sources and others generated in our own body. Free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule and ′′ stealing ′′ are electron. A molecule that loses an electron becomes a free radical and attacks the next nearest stable molecule, starting a chain reaction. Once the reaction starts, it can run through hundreds of molecules. If this happens over and over again, the cell eventually dies or mutates. Sometimes the mutated cell mutates to a point we know as cancer. GSH plays a crucial role in repairing damaged DNA by replacing the missing electron. Normally to increased GSH, the recovery of our cells keeps to a maximum and reduces the number of cell mutations that would occur differently.

GSH is the core of all immune functions and low GSH levels are seen in many diseases such as AIDS, advanced diabetes and cancer. Increasing and maintaining GSH levels can help minimize the risk of diseases.

Glutathion exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidised (GSSG) states. In healthy cells and tissues, more than 90 % of the total glutathion is in reduced form (GSH) and less than 10 % consists of the oxidised form (GSSG). An increased GSSG to GSH ratio is considered an indicative of oxidative stress. The ratio of reduced Glutathione to oxidised Glutathione to oxidised Glutathione within cells is often used scientifically as a measure of cellular toxicity.
