Glutathione 50 caps (400 mg/1 cap)

Glutathione is a mandatory protector in the supplements of all athletes who are stimulated by anabolic steroids.

The increased antioxidant protection provided by specific supplements can improve endurance, speed up recovery, and support athlete health throughout the competition season. Moreover, maintaining glutathione levels in the body is believed to protect athletes from infections and recurrent illnesses that may otherwise prevent athletes from achieving their highest performance in training and competition. This protection is achieved by improving the absorption of nutrients and amino acids in cells that are important for the functioning of the immune system, in particular, for lymphocytes and phagocytes.

Recommendations for use

Glutathione is sold in capsules, tablets, and powder form. A combination amino acid cocktail that includes glutathione, L-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, L- glutamic acid, or glycine is believed to have a much more effective effect on the athlete's body, in particular on glutathione levels, and also provide the corresponding antioxidant benefits than if glutathione take in pure form.

Doses are usually 600-1200 mg divided into two doses throughout the day. The lysis of red blood cells (hemolysis), which runners often experience, can reduce circulating levels of glutathione in the blood; accordingly, athletes who have encountered the mentioned ailment can significantly help their body with the help of intravenous or oral use of glutathione.

Deficiency symptoms

Symptoms of glutathione deficiency are unknown; however, glutathione deficiency has been associated with certain conditions such as diabetes, low sperm levels, and liver disease. Heavy smokers may experience reduced levels of glutathione because a number of chemicals in tobacco smoke increase the rate at which glutathione is absorbed by the body.

Side effects and contraindications

People with liver and kidney disease should consult their physician before starting glutathione supplementation.
