L-Glutathione Reduced (GSH) As a powerful antioxidant, it is widely used in health management, immune support, liver protection and detoxification, and beauty and anti-aging. However, different uses and individual differences will affect its optimal supplementation dose.
1. Daily health maintenance
Recommended dose: 250-500mg/day
Suitable for generally healthy people, maintain cell antioxidant capacity, and support immune system function.
It helps to reduce oxidative stress in daily life and protect the liver and cardiovascular system.
2. Antioxidant and immune support
Recommended dose: 500-1000mg/day
Suitable for people who want to enhance immunity, reduce inflammatory response or increase antioxidant levels.
Especially suitable for people who are in a high-pressure environment for a long time, have irregular work and rest, or are often exposed to polluted environments.
3. Liver detoxification and liver protection
Recommended dose: 800-1500mg/day
Suitable for people with heavy liver burden, such as long-term drinking, taking drugs, exposure to toxic chemicals, or people with fatty liver problems.
Promote liver cell repair, improve liver detoxification function, and reduce the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).
4. Whitening skin care and anti-aging
Recommended dose: 500-2000mg/day
Glutathione can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and reduce melanin production, thereby whitening and brightening the skin.
Studies have shown that continuous use for 3-6 months can significantly improve skin color.
Need to be combined with vitamin C (500-1000mg/day) to improve the stability and absorption efficiency of glutathione.
5. Postoperative rehabilitation and chronic disease support
Recommended dose: 1000-2500mg/day (up to 3000mg/day in some cases)
Suitable for people recovering after surgery, during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or suffering from chronic diseases (such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes).
Help reduce inflammation, improve cell repair ability, and improve energy metabolism.
6. How to improve the absorption effect of glutathione?
Combined with vitamin C (500-1000mg/day), it can promote glutathione regeneration and improve bioavailability.
Taking it on an empty stomach can reduce the degradation of glutathione by gastric acid and improve absorption rate.
Combined with N-acetylcysteine ​​(NAC), NAC is a precursor of glutathione and helps to synthesize more GSH in the body.
Using liposomal glutathione or submicronized glutathione has higher bioavailability than ordinary capsules.
7. Safety and precautions of glutathione
Both short-term and long-term supplementation are considered safe, but excessive intake (>3000mg/day) may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and those with serious diseases should use it under the guidance of a doctor.
Long-term high-dose use may inhibit the synthesis of glutathione, so it is recommended to gradually adjust the dose to avoid complete dependence on supplements.
