The liver is our body's great "cleaner" and this is largely due to the large amount of antioxidant glutathione (GSH) in liver cells. GSH is not only the master antioxidant, but can also be considered the body's best detoxifying agent. Effectively, it detoxifies our body from thousands of harmful compounds such as aldehydes, pesticides, heavy metals and endocrine disruptors present in our body due to the food we eat, the water we drink, the the air we breathe, the cosmetics we apply to our skin, and other environmental factors.
In addition, diets high in sugar and fat produce a large amount of inflammatory compounds after digestion that deplete cells' GSH content. To replenish our stock of GSH in the liver and other organs, our body needs precursors for the synthesis of this GSH, in particular sulfur amino acids such as cysteine and methionine. Fortunately, Protelicious contains higher amounts of these good amino acids than many proteins – This provides our body with a completely natural means of detoxification that keeps it functioning optimally.
