Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for cell formation and are also linked to the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, and antibodies.
Amino acids are classified as essential or nonessential. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained through the diet, while nonessential amino acids, although extremely important for health, can be synthesized in the body and are therefore not classified as "essential."
LAMBERTS amino acids are presented in “free form”, meaning they are ready to be absorbed and used by the body (they do not need to be digested).
L-glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine that is part of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body.
Glutathione is found in all cells in the body, with the highest concentration in the liver. Since it can be formed from these three amino acids in the body, it is considered nonessential because it does not have to be obtained from food.
Since cysteine is relatively rare in food products, this amino acid is the rate-limiting factor in the body's synthesis of glutathione.
LAMBERTS Glutathione Complex contains good levels of each amino acid, plus absolute glutathione.
