S-Acetyl Glutathione is an advanced glutathione supplement used for skin health and whitening, anti-aging, liver detoxification, and antioxidant protection. It offers better absorption and stability compared to conventional glutathione.
Description
S-Acetyl Glutathione is developed to overcome the poor absorption and hydrolytic degradation of conventional glutathione supplements. It optimizes glutathione absorption, dissolves rapidly, and is orally well-absorbed. Once internalized into cells, it increases glutathione levels more efficiently than normal glutathione.
Indications
- Skin health and whitening (reduces hyperpigmentation)
- Anti-aging (cellular repair and reducing aging effects)
- Liver detoxification (elimination of toxins)
- Antioxidant (protection from oxidative stress and free radicals)
Therapeutic class
Herbal and Nutraceuticals
Pharmacological class
Glutathione Replenishment Agent
Pharmacology
S-Acetyl Glutathione uses an acetyl group to ensure stability and absorption of glutathione. It is deacetylated after cellular uptake to release active glutathione, which neutralizes free radicals, repairs cells, and enhances liver detoxification processes.
Mechanism of action
Improves cellular glutathione levels by enhancing absorption and stability.
