Glutathione's key roles include neutralizing free radicals, detoxifying heavy metals (lead, mercury), repairing oxidative damage, boosting immune defense (T-cell production), slowing aging (DNA protection) and reducing chronic disease risk (cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's).
Glutathione declines with age (10% to 15% per decade after 20) and is depleted by toxins (pollution, pesticides), chronic stress, medications (antibiotics, acetaminophen), and poor diet (low sulfur, high refined sugars). Deficiency is linked to autoimmune disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
