Glutathione plays a key role in maintaining the body’s balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory compounds when our metabolic system alters in response to a change in the level of a particular reactive oxygen species.

Glutathione can bind to a range of toxic molecules to form harmless complexes that are then excreted rapidly from the body. This process applies to both molecules originating from outside of the body as well as endogenous ones: hormonal waste, lactic acid buildup in the active muscles, inflammatory prostaglandins, fungal toxins and carcinogens like acetaldehyde.

Inflammation and waste processing deplete glutathione. Supporting glutathione metabolism is a functional supplementation strategy with wide-ranging therapeutic and ergogenic potential.

Glutathione plays a role in improving aerobic metabolism through its role in suppressing the accumulation of lactic acid in the active muscles. Increasing glutathione through supplementation has been shown to lead to lower lactate levels and less muscle fatigue.

Shield contains a blend of glutathione precursors and co-factors to support the production of glutathione and to limit its depletion. As a second method of action Shield contains compounds that help protect the liver when processing higher levels of metabolic waste.

Mechanism of Action

Supports glutathione metabolism and the liver.

Duration of Effect

8–10 hours.

Usage

Preventive: take 3 capsules preventively before expected toxin exposure in the next 8–10 hours, preferably on an empty stomach.

Continuous support: take 1–3 capsules daily with off days from time to time, e.g. 5 days of use followed by 2 days off.
