Glutathione is the body's principal intracellular antioxidant, a tripeptide of glycine, cysteine and glutamate present in every cell. It neutralises reactive oxygen species, supports detoxification and recycles other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.
Glutathione levels fall with age, coinciding with rising oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. A randomised trial in older adults found that restoring glutathione (via its precursors glycine and N-acetylcysteine) improved oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, inflammation and several measured hallmarks of aging.
