Glutathione and metabolism: the basics

Oxidative stress and metabolic health are linked, so it is reasonable to care about antioxidant status. That does not make glutathione a weight-loss agent.

  • Antioxidants support overall cellular health
  • No antioxidant melts fat on its own
  • Whole-food sources deliver antioxidants too

A colorful, plant-rich diet supports your body's antioxidant systems without relying on any single product.
