THE BENEFITS OF GLUTATION
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide found in cells whose function is to protect them from oxidation. It acts against free radicals; highly reactive particles that damage cells and end up causing disease and accelerating ageing. and accelerate ageing; in fact, as we age, our bodies produce less and less glutathione.
These radicals come from the metabolic processes that occur in our organism, but also from exposure to toxins, irradiation and even physical exercise. toxins, irradiation and even from physical exercise.
To cope with the presence of free radicals, the body has tools at its disposal that enable it to neutralise their reactivity. To this end, it relies on vitamins, minerals and other substances, including glutathione.
The functions attributed to GSH are:
- Supports stem cell potentiation and differentiation
- Enables the immune system to function properly
- It is involved in infection control and disease prevention
- Contributes to the proper functioning of cells
- It is a shield against toxins in our environment
- Reduces oxidative stress
- Protects the liver and contributes to its detoxifying function
This important molecule is made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine.
Among the antioxidant molecules, the peculiarity of glutathione is that it can develop its activity intracellularly, so it can maximise the functions of other molecules that also act as antioxidants. intracellularly, so it can maximise the functions of other molecules that also act as antioxidants.

How to supply glutathione precursor amino acids?
In nature, glutathione can be found in foods such as tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, avocado, asparagus, watermelon, nuts, broccoli, etc.
The amino acids that make up the molecule can also be found in Exialoe shakes. The following tables The following tables show two examples of their content per intake:
Exialoe Chocolate shake contains:
cysteine | 409 mg |
glutamic acid | 2574 mg |
glycine | 450 mg |
Coco and Cookies shake contains:
cysteine | 105 mg |
glutamic acid | 1769 mg |
glycine | 432 mg |
In addition to this property, Exialoe shakes contain a complete profile of vitamins and minerals that are involved in many reactions in our metabolism. in a multitude of reactions in our metabolism. They also provide a balanced proportion of proteins and carbohydrates, in a low calorie quantity. carbohydrates, in a low calorie quantity, making it a good choice for those who intend to keep a dietary control.
Nowadays, faced with the many challenges our bodies are continually confronted with, and taking into account the benefits of glutathione, it is a good decision to take supplements that provide precursors of glutathione precursors. the benefits provided by glutathione, it is a good decision to take supplements that provide precursors of the molecule as a reservoir for the of the molecule as a reservoir against the required needs, which can contribute to its production in a natural way at the cellular level. naturally at cellular level. This, together with a balanced diet and the practice of physical activity, will help us to bring a qualitative and proactive improvement to our state of health.
