Glutathione (GSH) is the most powerful naturally occurring antioxidant in all human cells. It is a tripeptide composed of the amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. Glutathione plays a substantial role in the functioning of the body’s immune system. It is the cornerstone of antioxidant defense and is a key supplement for preventing oxidative stress.
GSH is found in all cells in the body but especially in the liver, making it critically important in detoxifying and eliminating free radicals. Accumulating these dangerous compounds can result in oxidative stress, which occurs when the generation of free radicals in the body exceeds the body’s ability to neutralize and eliminate them. Free radicals are highly reactive compounds created in the body during normal metabolic functions. They can also enter the body through the environment.
Delivery of GSH in a nasal spray can be an effective treatment for many conditions and has been studied to reduce the severity of Parkinson’s disease. The nasal spray delivery method allows greater bioavailability of GSH than with the oral supplement. Nasal administration the preferred method for most patients, as it provides a greater systemic effect.
Transdermal application of GSH is available in cream form. Glutathione breaks down in the digestive process when taken orally, which leads to a lack of absorption. Using a cream ensures that glutathione gets absorbed and is a more effective method of administration.
