You’ll find glutathione in two main places.

1. Your own body. The good news is your body makes its own glutathione. The bad news: modern day lives of poor diet, pollution, medications, stress, trauma, aging, disease and even infection all take a big hit on your built-in supply.

2. The foods you eat. Some foods contain glutathione, and others have the building blocks (cysteine, glycine and glutamine) for your body to make more. You’ll find foods like fruits, vegetables, eggs and turmeric are all rich in those amino acids your body uses to create glutathione.

But here’s the catch. Most of us don’t eat anywhere near enough of these foods to get the glutathione to keep our bodies fighting fit and free of damaging toxins. That’s why we often need supplements.

It’s tricky to tell, as symptoms can vary from person to person. Most commonly, if you’re feeling run down and your immune system isn’t firing on all cylinders, glutathione deficiency could be playing a part. So, if you’re coughing, spluttering and suffering from infections more than usual, you may find regular doses of glutathione make a difference to warding off these bouts of “down and out”.

(As a double whammy, your body burns through glutathione when fighting sickness and infection. If you’re falling ill frequently, glutathione may help you break that sickly pattern.)

Like most supplements, the answer is: “it depends”.

If you’re battling sickness or are on medications, you might get benefit from taking it every day. Glutathione helps build a resilient immune system, and in times of stress keeps it ticking along so it’s not as vulnerable to insidious infections or bacterial flare-ups.

Outside of illness, other factors can also cause your body to burn through glutathione in double time:

• Stress and burnout
• Heavy, exhausting travel (and the resulting jet lag)
• Over exposure to a toxic environment
• A few too many drinks

So, whether you’re run down with illness or suffering “side effects” from our modern lifestyles, glutathione is the perfect way to keep your immune system in tip-top shape.

We’d love to say yes, but… for all the amazing benefits of glutathione, its one drawback in most products is the flavour.

Except when it comes to Pure Health Liposomal Glutathione.

As fitness and health buffs, even we’re not keen on gulping some of the gag-inducing glutathione you find on the market. That’s why taste was a top priority for us. With “Orange Spice”, a citrus tang made from natural flavourings, you get a taste that makes the usual unpleasantness and sulphur-like smell of other oral glutathione supplements a bad memory.
