Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in cells. It is mainly composed of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine and cysteine. Many factors may reduce glutathione levels in the body, including malnutrition, environmental toxins and stress. Its level also decreases with age. In addition to being naturally produced by the body, glutathione can also be administered intravenously, topically, or as an inhalant. It can also be used as an oral supplement in capsule and liquid form. However, oral glutathione may not be as effective as a trusted source in some cases as an intravenous administration.
