One of your bodys biggest antioxidant champions--glutathion--lives within every cell in your body already, helping to protect the body from free radicals. But even glutathione may require an assist, relying on the combination of cysteine and glycine.
These two amino acids help glutathione with its multiple roles in our cells, such as recycling other antioxidants, helping with detoxification and scavenging free radicals. With all this work, the body requires amounts of cysteine and glycine that may not be met by good food alone, especially as we age.
