Cellular metabolism, the process by which cells make energy to perform life processes, involves the chemical breakdown of oxygen molecules. This reaction causes the production of unstable molecules called free radicals. If left un-neutralized, free radicals accumulate in the body, causing oxidative stress, a type of cell damage that can harm DNA, proteins, and other vital molecules. Oxidative stress is associated with the development of immune disorders, aging, and numerous diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cataracts, and cancer.

An antioxidant is a substance that neutralizes a free radical. Glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants in the body because it not only fights free radical damage at the cellular level, it recycles other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. Daily glutathione supplementation has been shown to boost glutathione levels in the body. Clinical studies suggest that Setria^®, a patented glutathione made by Kyowa Hakko, is effective for raising glutathione blood levels. The finding suggests that Setria^® at high dosages may improve immune function and reduce cancer risk.

Setria^® Glutathione, by Kyowa Hakko, is a standout antioxidant. Glutathione is a tripeptide found in every cell of the body and it’s critical to preserving cellular integrity. Setria^® supports immune health by replenishing the body’s primary defense system, helping fight oxidative stress, supporting healthy respiratory function, and promoting healthy aging and overall health. As the world’s top-selling branded glutathione ingredient, Setria^® stands out from generic glutathione options with its long-standing reputation, high-quality manufacturing, clinical studies, and established safety record.
