Glutathione is a tri-peptide molecule made inside our cells from three amino acids L- glutamine, L-cysteine and L-glycine. The sulphur atom in L-cysteine is what binds heavy metals and toxins and aids in their removal from the body. Glutathione is very crucial for proper mitochondrial function and energy production. Glutathione is also needed to protect DNA from damage. Many individuals with chronic illnesses, chronic infections (i.e. herpes, HIV, Lyme's disease), chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, heavy metal toxicity and candida overgrowth among others, have very low levels of glutathione in their tissues. Heavy metals (i.e. Mercury, Lead and Cadmium) not only cause the body's tissues to use up their supply of glutathione, but they also "directly" inhibit the production of more glutathione by displacing magnesium from the enzyme that makes glutathione. As we get older, our body's ability to make glutathione declines.
