Glutathione is grouped as an amino acid but is not technically one. Glutathione is a tripeptide and the body produces it from amino acid cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Glutathione is a very powerful antioxidant and is produced in the liver. Large stores of glutathione are found in the liver where it detoxifies harmful compounds. Glutathione is also found in the lungs and intestinal tracts. Glutathione is needed for carbohydrate metabolism and appears to exert anti aging effects aiding in the breakdown of oxidized fats that may contribute to atherosclerosis. A wide spectrum of illnesses rises and falls directly with the amount of glutathione in the body. For most of the major diseases the lack of glutathione is one of the cause.
