Glutathione

Ingredient Spotlight

 

In the world of cream and potions, one always wants to smear whatever miracle cream or rub the next big gemstone tool across our face to slow the inevitability of aging. However, some of the hardest-hitting ingredients our body already makes! One of these is glutathione, an antioxidant that is here to save the day!

Glutathione [gloo-tuh-thai-own] is a powerhouse peptide that our body makes. It is made of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine.  It is created in the liver but benefits every cell in our body.
