Thorne Glutathione-SR 175mg Capsules - Sustained-Release Antioxidant Formula

Master Antioxidant & Cellular Defence: Glutathione is the body's most abundant intracellular antioxidant, directly quenching reactive oxygen species (free radicals) that damage cellular structures. As a cofactor in dozens of enzymatic detoxification reactions, glutathione neutralizes harmful compounds while regenerating other antioxidants like vitamins C and E, creating a comprehensive defence system against oxidative stress that accumulates from environmental toxins, poor diet, and intense physical activity.

Liver Detoxification & Metabolic Support: The liver maintains the body's highest glutathione concentrations to facilitate Phase II detoxification, where toxins are conjugated for safe elimination. Glutathione binds to heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and metabolic waste products, transforming them into water-soluble compounds for excretion. This process also supports healthy carbohydrate metabolism, immune function, and bowel health by maintaining optimal hepatic function and reducing toxic burden throughout the digestive system.

Cognitive Health & Neuroprotection: Brain tissue is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage due to high metabolic activity and abundant lipid content. Glutathione protects neuronal membranes, supports neurotransmitter function, and maintains mitochondrial health in brain cells. Research demonstrates that individuals with optimal glutathione levels experience better cognitive resilience during aging, with centenarians showing significantly higher glutathione activity compared to those experiencing age-related cognitive decline.

Athletic Performance & Recovery: Endurance exercise lasting 60-90 minutes significantly depletes blood glutathione levels, increasing oxidative stress and compromising recovery. The sustained-release Time-Sorb® matrix ensures continuous glutathione availability throughout training and competition, supporting cardiovascular function, pulmonary capacity, and post-exercise tissue repair. NSF Certified for Sport® testing verifies absence of over 200 banned substances, making this the trusted choice for competitive athletes requiring clean, effective antioxidant support.
