Product Description
-------------------
Jarrow Formulas Glutathione Reduced features the primary
ingredient of reduced, non-oxidized glutathione, a
sulfur-containing tripeptide. Each of Jarrow Formulas
Glutathione Reduced contains 500 mg of reduced glutathione.
Glutathione Reduced plays a role in balancing the redox potential
of cells and regulating detoxification processes.* By
supplementing with Glutathione Reduced, you can support your
body's natural detoxification mechanisms and cellular balance.*
Glutathione Reduced helps protect cells from oxidative stress.*
Glutathione Reduced has the ability to support the regeneration
of antioxidant forms of s C and E. These s, known
for their antioxidant properties, become oxidized during their
function. Glutathione Reduced helps convert them back into their
reduced, antioxidant forms.* Jarrow Formulas Glutathione Reduced
is crafted to meet the needs of various dietary preferences and
restrictions. It is Non-GMO, suitable for vegans, and does not
contain gluten, making it a versatile and inclusive choice. Take
1 per day with a meal. Jarrow Formulas original goal has
always remained the same: To design superior dietary supplements
that help empower individuals to take charge of their own

Glutathione (GSH) is a tri-peptide composed of the amino s
glycine, cysteine, and glutamate. As one of the primary
protective molecules in the body it is found, inside and outside
of cells, in all tissues and body fluids. GSH is most highly
concentrated in the liver, spleen, kidney, eye-lens,
erythrocytes, and leukocytes. Higher glutathione status and/or
dietary intakes have been correlated with cardiovascular, oral
and eye , as well as increased vitality with aging.*
The best food sources of glutathione are fresh fruits and
vegetables and newly prepared meats. Since most methods of food
processing destroy glutathione, the excessive intake of processed
foods may be leading to modern diets that are often devoid of
glutathione. Studies evaluating dietary intake from food have
found wide variations amongst individuals: 3-250 mg/day (mean: 35
mg/day). Additionally, body-stores tend to decrease with age and
even fluctuate throughout the day.
Good By Mouth
-------------
Since GSH is a peptide, many assume that it is completely
digested by enzymes in the intestines. Further fueling this
assumption, early studies did not find an appreciable increase in
plasma levels after GSH ingestion. However, it now appears that
GSH's uncommon linkage amongst the glutamate side-chain and the
cysteine residue makes GSH partially resistant to common peptide
cleavage enzymes. This not only impacts its digestion, but also
its regulation inside the body. Numerous studies have now
demonstrated that oral glutathione is bioavailable and that blood
levels may stay relatively constant even as tissue levels rise.
Oral glutathione feeds bodily tissues via three routes 1)
absorption intact in the intestines followed by tissue uptake
from blood, 2) degradation to its constituent amino s in the
GI tract, cellular absorption, then intracellular GSH
re-synthesis, and 3) terminal passage into cells that line the GI
tract. The availability of L-cysteine is the bottleneck for
glutathione synthesis in the body, since cysteine is the least
prevalent of glutathione's three constituent amino s in the
diet. This is one reason N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is also used to
support glutathione levels. Overall, there are about 15 grams of
GSH in the body, of which roughly four grams can be found in the
liver.
RedOx & Detox
-----------------
GSH is the major endogenous antioxidant produced by the body,
possessing a substantial reduction-oxidation (i.e. "redox")
potential. Thus it can participate both directly and indirectly
in the neutralization of free radicals and reactive oxygen
species. It also helps maintain levels of exogenous antioxidants,
such as s C and E, in active forms. And of course, GSH is
a cofactor for the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which primarily
protects the body from oxidative damage.*
GSH is added to lipophilic toxins, waste and xenobiotics in the
liver during phase-2 detoxification to make them water-soluble
and allow excretion from the body. As one example, GSH is
necessary for the detoxification of methylglyoxal, a toxin
produced as a by-product of human sm and thought to be a
source of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).* GSH is also
necessary to avoid toxicity. In fact, GSH levels
are often intentionally bolstered in cases of overdose. GSH keeps
the te NAPQI from binding to thiol groups
of cellular proteins and causing cell-death.
What's Your G-Ratio?
--------------------
The ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione within
cells is often used as a measure of cellular toxicity. In y
cells and tissue, more than 90 percent of the total glutathione
pool is in the reduced form (GSH) and less than 10 percent exists
in the disulfide form (GSSG). An increased GSSG-to-GSH ratio is
considered indicative of oxidative stress and sometimes tissue
dysfunction. Besides a poor diet, other lifestyle factors like
smoking s, excessively consuming alcohol and chronically
taking medications can alter the GSSG-to-GSH ratio. If your
G-ratio needs work, try Jarrow FORMULAS Glutathione Reduced.
