S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (SALG) – Powder, 10g
S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (SALG) is a bioavailable form of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that may promote longevity, ease aging, and support general cellular health.*
S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (SALG) is a bioavailable version of glutathione, which is a peptide (small amino-acid containing molecule) that acts as an antioxidant. It is produced endogenously in the human body and can also be found in the food supply. The ‘glutathione system’ comprises the enzymes that synthesize glutathione within a cell as well as dedicated enzymes that use glutathione as the means to exert antioxidant effects. Supplementation of bioavailable glutathione is thought to support this pool of glutathione in a cell and thus maintain the efficacy of the entire glutathione system.
What is S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (SALG)?
S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (SALG) is a highly effective version of glutathione, which is a peptide (small amino-acid containing molecule) that acts as an antioxidant. It is produced endogenously in the human body and can also be found in the food supply. The ‘glutathione system’ comprises the enzymes that synthesize glutathione within a cell as well as dedicated enzymes that use glutathione as the means to exert antioxidant effects. Supplementation of glutathione is thought to support this pool of glutathione in a cell and thus maintain the efficacy of the entire glutathione system. Unfortunately, most Glutathione supplements have nearly no bioavailability, as the molecule breaks down rapidly after oral ingestion. However this product, S-Acetyl L-Glutathione, is an altered form with an attached acetyl function group. This greatly improves its ability to remain intact after ingestion and allows a greater concentration to be absorbed into the bloodstream where it can take effect.
S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (SALG) Benefits and Uses
Studies have shown that S-Acetyl L-Glutathione (SALG) may have the following benefits:
- Powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent
- Promotes longevity and eases aging
- Supports general cellular health
Additional Information on Glutathione and SALG
Glutathione is an antioxidant found in plants, animals, fungi, and some bacteria and archaea. Glutathione is capable of preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides, and heavy metals. It is a tripeptide with a gamma peptide linkage between the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain and cysteine. Due to the chemical nature of glutathione it is difficult to absorb into the bloodstream through oral ingestion, and therefore an acetyl function group must be attached to the molecule to allow glutathione to be taken as an oral supplement.
