Since natural glutathione production also decreases, there's little defense against the increase in oxidative stress
In fact, glutathione levels seem to help support a healthy immune response. For example, one study found that glutathione helps "fine-tune the innate immune response." Another study found that glutathione supplementation enhanced markers related to immune response. In part, this potential benefit is because of glutathione's antioxidant properties
The extra waiting time preserves peptide integrity that rushing destroys
It supports detoxification processes, enhances immune function, protects against oxidative stress, and may have anti-aging properties
