Glutathione has a fairly wide range of effects:
-First of all, the substance strengthens the immune system. Studies show that with high levels of glutathione in the blood, the risk of developing diseases decreases.
-Glutathione is a detoxifying compound. It is the most effective detoxifier in the body. Glutathione binds unwanted toxins, pollutants, chemicals, heavy metals, and drug metabolites and removes them through the kidneys or intestines.
