L-GLUTATHIONE POWDER

Description

L-Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It is a potent antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and maintain cellular health. In skincare, L-glutathione is used primarily for its skin-brightening properties, as it inhibits the production of melanin and promotes a more even skin tone. L-Glutathione also supports the skin’s natural detoxification process and helps to fight signs of aging.
