What is Glutathione, and How Does it Relate to Covid?

Glutathione is a biological antioxidant. It is found in the mitochondria of all the tissues mammals have and is plays a significant part in lessening oxidative stress. It is a pleiotropic tripeptide comprised of glycine, cysteine, and glutamate. Free synthesis happens between cells in two steps. The first step uses glutamine and cysteine as substrates and is catalyzed (sped up) by glutamine-cysteine ligase (GSL).1

This produces glutamyl cysteine. The second step in the process then adds glycine to glutamyl cysteine, which is catalyzed by glutathione synthase (GS).2

Endogenous glutathione deficiency is the most likely cause of severe illness and death due to Covid.3

There is also evidence that glutathione can inhibit viral replication and decrease levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB), which means that it has also been found to be beneficial to Coivid patients. Glutathione post Covid treatment is used in conjunction with other Covid therapies and treatments. Glutathione and coronavirus are also related in the long-term which means that long Covid symptoms can be diminished by glutathione treatments.

Glutathione - Frequently Asked Questions

What is glutathione?

Glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid are the building blocks for the compound glutathione. It is created by the liver and is used by several bodily functions. Glutathione helps with the production of chemicals and proteins required by the body, as well as immune system activity.

What are the benefits of taking glutathione?

Taking glutathione has many benefits including:

  • Reducing oxidative stress
  • Reducing cell damage in alcoholic and nonalcoholic liver disease
  • Improves insulin resistance in older people
  • Increase mobility for people with peripheral artery disease
  • Reduces symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
  • Might help fight autoimmune diseases
  • Might reduce oxidative damage in children with autism
  • Might reduce the impact of uncontrolled diabetes
  • Might reduce respiratory disease symptoms
  • Might improve psoriasis

Glutathione IV Therapy vs supplements

Glutathione supplementation has been related to digestive problems, such as bloating or stomach cramps. Intravenous glutathione provides the antioxidant directly to your cells by totally avoiding the digestive system.

Does glutathione help reduce oxidative stress?

According to one research, glutathione either increases or decreases the body's immune response, which helps alleviate oxidative stress. Diseases with an autoimmune component damage particular cells' mitochondria. By scavenging free radicals, glutathione protects the mitochondria of the cell.
