The liver is the largest organ in the body and is responsible for many important functions including:

Detoxification: The liver is responsible for filtering the blood and removing toxins.
Immunity: The liver helps the body fight off infection by producing immune factors.
Hormonal Balance: The liver helps regulate the hormone insulin and converts T4 into T3
Digestion: The liver produces bile for the digestion of fats.

Gluthathione is the essential amino acid for detoxification of the liver and the maintenence of its function. Glutathione is synthesized in the body from 3 amino acids: Cysteine, glutamine and glycine. Glutathione acts as one of the major detoxifiers in the body, but it must be in the reduced form to work properly. Of the oral forms of Glutathione only the reduced from is physiologically viable / active.

Glutathione has many functions including detoxification, immune system support, and enzyme activation. In essence, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the reduced glutathione level, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs. In Chinese medicine chronic migraines are a sign of a toxic liver and the use of an active Glutathione supplement is a natural treatment for reduction of the toxocity which in turns reduces the incidence of the migraines.*

Most of the Gluthione supplements sold in the US under the various company names are actually made by one nutritional company in Japan and are relatively expensive. Dr. Wong's Essentials Glutathione is custom blended and "reduced" using German pharmacology methods here in the United States.

Glutathione Forte+ is not merely a reduced glutathione supplement even though every caplet does contain 200 mg of reduced glutathione. Glutathione Forte+ contains synergistic nutrients B6, Folic Acid, B12, and Selenium to help support the livers natural and proper function while adding reduced glutathione to make sure the liver also has what it needs to properly rid of the body of harmul toxins.
