Glutathione with Cofactors ( formerly Glutathione Plus)

Supporting Your Body's Master Antioxidant and Detoxification System^†

Glutathione with Cofactors is designed for people who need targeted support for their body's natural detoxification pathways—whether you're dealing with environmental chemical exposures, struggling with glutathione deficiency, or have found other glutathione supplements difficult to tolerate. Your body uses glutathione to support the healthy metabolism and elimination of heavy metals like mercury, arsenic, and lead, as well as everyday chemical exposures including formaldehyde (from new furniture, carpets, and gas stoves), chlorine (from tap water, pools, and hot tubs), exhaust fumes, fragrances, paints, and cleaning products. The unique formulation includes critical cofactors that many people are missing: selenium to activate your glutathione peroxidase (GPX) enzyme, riboflavin to recycle used glutathione via your glutathione reductase (GSR) enzyme, molybdenum to support your sulfite oxidase (SUOX) enzyme and prevent the uncomfortable side effects some people experience from glutathione, and PQQ to help stabilize the glutathione molecule itself. This comprehensive approach addresses why some people don't tolerate glutathione well—it's often times not the glutathione itself, but rather the lack of these essential supporting nutrients.^†

Customizing Your Serving Size Based on Your Exposures

Here's what you need to understand: glutathione is not a supplement you take rigidly every single day at the same dose. Your need for glutathione fluctuates dramatically based on your environmental exposures, stress levels, physical activity, illness, and diet. Some days—perhaps when you're traveling on an airplane, cooking for extended periods without ventilation, exposed to new paint or furniture, attending a competition, recovering from illness, or stuck in heavy traffic—you'll want to take 1 capsule to support your detoxification pathways. Other days, when your chemical exposures are minimal and you're eating well with plenty of sulfur-rich foods, you may not need any at all. Take Glutathione with Cofactors as needed, with food, anytime of day—but avoid taking it within 2 hours of bedtime as it may interfere with sleep. Listen to your body. If you experience headaches, irritability, or difficulty sleeping after taking glutathione, you're likely taking too much or too frequently. These symptoms occur because excess glutathione can increase glutamate levels (an excitatory neurotransmitter). Simply reduce your frequency or stop for a few days, and consider supporting healthy glutamate metabolism with Lithium Orotate and Magnesium Plus.^†

Comprehensive Detoxification Support

While Glutathione with Cofactors provides powerful antioxidant and detoxification support, your liver and detoxification pathways work best when multiple systems are functioning optimally. For comprehensive detoxification support, consider pairing Glutathione with Cofactors with complementary products. Liver Nutrients provides a synergistic blend of milk thistle, NAC, alpha-lipoic acid, and other nutrients that support Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver detoxification, glutathione production, and liver cell regeneration—take 2 capsules daily with food. Calcium D-Glucarate supports the critical glucuronidation pathway (Phase 2 detoxification) that your body uses to eliminate chemicals, excess estrogen, and other compounds—take 1 capsule daily with food, and you can take it alongside Bile Nutrients for enhanced elimination. Bile Nutrients supports healthy bile production and flow, which is essential for carrying fat-soluble toxins out of your body through your digestive tract—start with 2 capsules before dinner for the first 3 days, then increase to 4 capsules before dinner for ongoing support. Together, these products create a comprehensive detoxification system: Glutathione with Cofactors supports the natural neutralizaton of toxins and free radicals, Liver Nutrients supports your liver enzymes in processing toxins, Calcium D-Glucarate assists in binding toxins for elimination, and Bile Nutrients ensures those bound toxins actually leave your body rather than being reabsorbed.^†
