The Importance of Glutathione for Your Health
Glutathione, a core antioxidant, plays a crucial role in various functions of the body, including the skin. Dr. Nyan Patel, a renowned pharmacist and author, discusses the significance of glutathione and how its effective delivery has evolved over the years. While glutathione was previously administered through IVs and liposomal forms, it was not fully absorbed or utilized by the body as expected. However, with advancements in technology, transdermal glutathione has emerged as an effective method of delivery. This technology allows for the absorption of glutathione through the skin, providing immense benefits without relying solely on the body's absorption processes. Additionally, gene testing has revealed that a significant percentage of the population has mutations that make it difficult for their bodies to reconstruct or deconstruct glutathione, emphasizing the importance of alternative delivery methods.
