You can take Protect daily and/or before drinking:
Daily: A daily dose of Protect (2 capsules) keeps your glutathione levels from naturally dropping over time. The benefit in this case is long-term. Glutathione is known as the master antioxidant, used in your body for almost all anti-oxidation processes. While it exists throughout your body, it is most prevalent in your liver, working tirelessly to keep your liver healthy. When you consume alcohol, your glutathione levels lower significantly making you feel even worse — not only the next day, but over time. That’s because glutathione needs to slowly build itself back up in your system. Glutathione can’t be taken orally because it’s destroyed in your stomach. L-cysteine is the precursor to glutathione, converting into glutathione in your body, delivering those benefits.
Before: You may also want to take Protect before drinking for 2 reasons:
- It boosts your glutathione levels pre-drinking.
- It curbs "alcohol flush reaction" while drinking. Flushing, as it's more commonly known, occurs when your body is exposed to acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol that's 20x more toxic than alcohol itself. For some, acetaldehyde turns their skin red, and in those cases, Protect is helpful in alleviating that redness while drinking.
