Abstract
It is difficult to overstate the importance of glutathione because it performs many critical biological functions. The purpose of this article is to briefly review glutathione's functions, explain why most people have low levels of glutathione and make the case that increasing glutathione levels is one of the most important pro-active steps people can take to improve their health and slow down the onset of age-related diseases. This article will also introduce practitioners to Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3, which is a unique strain of probiotic bacteria that synthesizes glutathione.
