Features & Benefits
- Food Ingredients Features
- Benefits
Gamma-glutamylcysteine is proven to boost cellular glutathione levels within 90 minutes. Glutathione, the body’s primary defense against free radicals, has been known to help reduce oxidative stress from free radicals and support a variety of bodily functions including detoxification. precursor to glutathione
- Support liver, brain, and immune health
- Powerful antioxidant and detoxifier
Glutathione is crucial to detoxifying your body and supports the function of the liver, kidneys, GI tract, and intestines. Glutathione plays a significant role in keeping bodily systems functioning optimally by aiding in detoxification paths including those found within the bloodstream as well as major organs such as the kidney, GI tract, or intestines. - Promote energy, focus, and concentration
- Sports nutrition
Glutathione levels can help you perform at your best, be healthy, and recover easily. Make sure to increase glutathione through diet or supplementation in order for the body cells to function optimally and work efficiently so that they are able to decrease recovery time after workouts.

- Mechanism of action
How does GGC work? The mechanism is simple: it is able to increase glutathione levels quickly. Glutathione is an essential amino acid that performs many functions in the body and protects against toxins. Glutathione participates as a cofactor for one of three enzymes that convert leukotrienes to help alleviate asthma symptoms, assists in releasing toxic substances from cells so they can be excreted by bile into stool or urine, repairs DNA damage caused by free radicals with its antioxidant properties, replenishes glutamine after exercise improves immune function through the production of antibodies such as IgA (immunoglobulin A) which helps protect us from respiratory infection during the cold season when we are most susceptible to it—all this while playing key roles elsewhere like regulating metabolism!
- Dosage
Safety assessment of GGC sodium salt in rats has shown that orally administered (gavage) GGC was not acutely toxic at the limit single dosage of 2000 mg/kg, demonstrating no adverse effects following repeated daily doses over 90 days.
