Glutathione is a substance made in the liver from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Glutathione acts as an important antioxidant in the body. Free radicals are byproducts of metabolism that can damage cells in the body. Since they are unpaired electrons, they are called oxidants. In addition to detoxifying chemicals inside the body, glutathione detoxifies drugs and pollution. Glutathione also plays a significant role in immune function.
Glutathione levels decrease with age and poor health. Chronic exposure to chemical toxins, cadmium exposure, and chronic alcohol use can all lead to low levels of glutathione. A lack of glutathione has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases, pulmonary diseases, immune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, chronic age-related diseases, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, and the aging process itself.

The success rate depends on the condition being treated and whether a glutathione deficiency is present. .
