*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The liver has so many functions to maintain the normal functioning of the human body. It is the organ responsible for metabolizing the unnecessary compounds inside the body such as toxins and biologic reaction end products. As a compensatory mechanism of the liver's laborious duty, the body also takes part in producing liver protectant compounds. One major chemical compound that naturally protects the liver is Glutathione. This liver chemical is a very simple molecule which is produced naturally in the body.

Glutathione is a tripeptide which is a combination of three simple building blocks of protein also known as amino acids. These amino acids are cysteine, glycine and glutamine. Among its precursors, Cysteine is the most effective binder of the various harmful chemicals inside the body. A deficiency in any of these amino acids can cause easy damage to the liver and frequent sickness.

The secret of Glutathione's liver protectant property is also thought to be because of the sulfur chemical group it possesses. The element sulfur enables the Glutathione molecule to easily attract body toxins including free radicals and other heavy metals such as mercury and lead, thus facilitating excretion. In a normal or healthy person, Glutathione is typically reused inside the body. However, if the toxicity inside the body is high, glutathione is easily depleted and readily eliminated.

Glutathione, also referred to as the body's master antioxidant, is an important substance for the body. Primarily, glutathione is commonly used to enhance liver function by maintaining the health of the liver cells. We know for a fact that almost every chemical inside the body is metabolized by the liver. As a result, glutathione is the chemical compound responsible for protecting the liver cells from toxins such as excessive alcohol levels, medication overdose and other harmful substances produced by the body after any biologic reaction.

Furthermore, it can also prevent the buildup of metabolized fats and facilitate the conversion of carbohydrates into usable energy. In line with its many roles, glutathione is also the most abundant antioxidant in the body. In addition, glutathione is an antioxidant that must be present at high concentration especially in the liver since the human system issubjected to various environmental and metabolic hazards on daily basis.

As mentioned above, glutathione is naturally produced by the body and it is found mostly in the liver to fight against harmful compounds. However, aside from the liver, glutathione is also found in the gastrointestinal tracts to detoxify harmful microorganisms. It also has the capacity to improve the immune system by supplying the enzyme called Glutathione Peroxidase which is required in the formation of new red and white blood cells. It also aids the body in producing killer cells which prevents specific diseases. The depletion of glutathione in the body may result in severe immune system damage as well as chronic degenerative disorders including environmental illnesses. Nowadays, glutathione is also widely utilized because of its side effects. One of the side effects of glutathione is it ability to lighten skin complexion. It can also give a healthier and whiter glow to the skin making it an important ingredient in many cosmetic items.

Though glutathione is available in capsules and injectables, fruits and vegetables are the great natural sources of this beneficial chemical compound. If you will be opting for capsule or injectable supplementation, to be completely safe, seek medical advice from a qualified practitioner first.

Look for glutathione at a vitamin store. Always choose name brands to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase for internal consumption.
