Glutathione

Master Cellular Antioxidant Glutathione is the mother of all antioxidants. A molecule our bodies produce naturally to cleanse free radicals and toxins from our system. A master detoxifier responsible for recycling and recharging every antioxidant in our bodies. Our world is filled with toxins. Everything from the food we eat, clothes we wear, even the air we breathe has our bodies working overtime to fight off damage and replenish our cells. To further the problem, as we age our glutathione levels fall. This makes our bodies extremely susceptible to breakdown and disease. In fact the average 45-year-old has already experienced a 50% decrease in glutathione.

PROTECTS AGAINST LIVER DAMAGE Increasing glutathione provides long term liver protection and health benefits. Your liver has one of the highest concentrations of glutathione in the body. Every time your liver is exposed to excess chemicals, pollutants, or toxins, your liver concentrations of glutathione drops considerably. Several studies have shown that GSH administration helps to recover oxidative stress-induced liver damage in alcoholic and non alcoholic liver diseases. CONTROLS CELL DEATH GSH is essential for cell survival and its depletion increases the cellular susceptibility to apoptosis (Cell Death). High intracellular GSH levels help cells live healthier and longer, and low intracellular levels has been shown either to induce or increase cell death. BOOSTS IMMUNE FUNCTION Glutathione boosts your immune function. It is the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent disease. Glutathione is critical in helping your immune system do its job of fighting infections. Studies show that Glutathione can help in the treatment of AIDS and even help to prevent cancer. INCREASES ENERGY When you increase the amount of cellular Glutathione in your body, you are giving yourself a health-promoting energy boost, eliminating toxins and empowering your immune system. When Glutathione levels are low, it’s generally a good indicator that cellular energy (Adenosine triphosphate or ATP) is low, too. Therefore, low levels of glutathione will often correlate with low energy levels.
