Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells and are also involved in the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies. L-Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Of its many roles in the body it is best known as a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants help to neutralise harmful free radicals that are produced quite naturally in the human body and which, if allowed to proceed unchecked, can harm tissues and organs. 60 Capsules
