Y-Age Glutathione goes to work for you by naturally elevating production of glutathione, which is your body’s master antioxidant. This fortifies immune function and fights off damaging oxidative stress – boosting your body’s primary defense.
Glutathione, sometimes called the “master” antioxidant, is a vital intracellular tripeptide molecule that plays a central role in cellular physiologic functions. It’s popular for its ability to minimize oxidative stress, which can limit the detrimental effects of intense and unaccustomed exercise. In other words, increasing glutathione levels in the blood can decrease oxidative stress, which could increase health and performance.

What Is Phototherapy?
The science of phototherapy, which has been around for about 100 years, uses light to improve the health of the body. And modern forms of phototherapy such as Low-Level Laser Therapy, which helps reduce wrinkles in the skin, are very well understood scientifically.
How Our Phototherapy Patches Work
Your body emits heat in the form of infrared light. Our patches are designed to trap this infrared light when placed on the body, which causes them to reflect particular wavelengths of light. This process stimulates specific points on the skin that signal the body to produce health benefits unique to each LifeWave patch.
INSTRUCTIONS
Rotate through the shown point locations, using a Glutathione patch 5 to 7 days per week.
If combining with either Y-Age Aeon or Y-Age Carnosine, use any 2 patches on any 2 of the Y-Age point locations shown, applying the patches on either the midline or right side of the body.
Apply the patch to clean, dry skin in the morning. Patches may be worn for up to 12 hours before discarding. Keep well hydrated while using this product.
Cautions: Remove immediately if you feel discomfort or skin irritation occurs. Do not reuse patch once removed from the skin. For external use only. Do not ingest. Do not use on wounds or damaged skin. Ask a health professional before using if you have a health condition, any questions or concerns about your health. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Not intended for use on children. Do not apply/use patches other than as directed. Product to be stored at room temperature.'
Your cells contain glutathione, which is a substance made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine.
Glutathione acts as an important antioxidant in your body. That means it helps combat free radicals, molecules that can damage your body's cells.
Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions in your body. It also helps detoxify chemicals, including some that your body creates naturally, as well as pollutants and drugs.
Your supply of glutathione seems to drop as you get older, possibly because your body can't create as much. Lower glutathione levels seem to go hand-in-hand with poorer health. For instance, lower levels may play a role in many conditions that are more likely to develop in older people.
Your glutathione levels may also fall if you have certain conditions, such as:
- Cancer
- HIV/AIDS
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Hepatitis
- Parkinson's disease
If you don’t have enough glutathione in your body, you might notice symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Brain fog
- Sleep problems
- Frequent infections
- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
- Loss of coordination
- Seizures
Some people take glutathione:
- For its antioxidant benefit
- As a detoxification agent
- To try to protect themselves from the harmful effects of radiation and chemotherapy for cancer (there is no evidence that glutathione works in this regard)
People also take glutathione to try to boost weakened immune systems and help with infertility and many other conditions.
It may not be effective to take glutathione by mouth, as it is thought that glutathione may be broken down by enzymes in the stomach.
Glutathione for liver
Glutathione is thought to flush out toxins in the liver. It may also protect your liver from damage.
One small study found that people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease who took glutathione by mouth for 4 months had improved liver enzyme markers. Other research has shown people with liver disease who received high doses of glutathione via an IV had improvements in their liver function tests
Glutathione and weight loss
Some research suggests that glutathione may help with weight loss. One study found people with obesity who had higher levels of glutathione lost more weight when they followed a healthy eating plan for 6 months.
Some people use injectable glutathione to lighten their skin or hide dark spots. But there is very limited evidence that glutathione can change skin pigment. What’s more, the FDA in the Philippines, where the practice is popular, warns that injectable glutathione for your skin may be unsafe. The agency says it can have toxic effects on the kidneys, liver, and nervous system.

Your body doesn't seem to absorb glutathione well from foods. But certain foods high in amino acids that contain sulfur may help boost your levels. These include:
- Unprocessed meat
- Garlic
- Broccoli
- Asparagus
- Avocados
- Spinach
