Glutathione is the body’s premiere endogenous (internally produced) antioxidant and is integral to multiple bodily systems. It’s also the body’s main detoxification compound and is crucial to effective immune function, yet the body’s production of glutathione declines with age, stress, and disease states. Glutathione is poorly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and Quicksilver's Etheric Delivery™ Liposomal Glutathione brings proven technology for trans-mucosal delivery of difficult-to- absorb compounds.

The process of detoxification can deplete glutathione and this depletion plays a role in cellular damage. 

Glutathione, binding with methyl mercury forms a complex that prevents mercury from binding to cellular proteins and causing damage to both enzymes and tissue.

Glutathione-mercury complexes have been found in the liver, kidney, and brain, and appear to be the primary form in which mercury is transported and eliminated from the body.
