There is a powdered product on the market that purportedly raises glutathione levels. Will your glutathione capsules do the same thing?

Our Swanson Premium Brand® L-Glutathione will increase the level of circulating glutathione to the degree that your body is able to absorb it, which varies with each individual. Glutathione is best known for its role as a powerful antioxidant, and some experts highly recommend that the best way to increase glutathione levels in the body is by consuming whey protein powder, which provides every single nutrient the body requires to manufacture it naturally.

Whey protein is easily absorbed by most individuals, and is lactose-free. If you are interested in trying this approach, we suggest Whey Protein Powder , and Glutathione (100 mg, 100 capsules) or Glutathione (100mg, 200 capsules)
