Since training and competition create more oxidative stress and damage athletes have a higher need for antioxidants. Exercise longer than 60-90 minutes significantly decreases glutathione levels in the blood so supplementing is beneficial for endurance and ultra endurance events.The liver is the bodys largest reservoir for glutathione.

The normal process of aging is associated with a decrease in glutathione activity which can result in increased oxidative activity. Less than an optimum level of glutathione is observed in individuals experiencing a decline in cognitive function. Conversely individuals who live to 100 tend to have higher glutathione activity.Although a common mistaken belief is that glutathione is not well absorbed when its taken orally significant data confirms that glutathione is efficiently absorbed across the intestinal epithelium by a specific uptake system.Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations including stimulants narcotics steroids diuretics beta-2 agents and masking agents.
