The Worlds Most Powerful Antioxidant is Not in a Berry, a Fruit or a Drink- ¦It's in Your Body!
brain function, and is also your bodyâ?Ts first line of defense against diseases of aging and the harmful affects of
stress and overexertion.
Glutathione: The Body's Master Antioxidant
Glutathione (GSH) is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It
functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin, and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our
glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than
60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by
mainstream medicine. In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the
ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells.
The Power of Glutathione
Glutathione has been shown to slow down the aging process, detoxify and improve liver function, strengthen the
immune system and reduce the chances of developing cancer. Glutathione also works to help improve mental
functions, increase energy, improve concentration, permit increased exercise, and improve heart and lung function
- just to name a few.
Increasing Age and Other Factors Reduce the Body's Production and Utilization of GSH.
Research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness.
Research shows that GSH levels decline by 8% to 12% per decade, beginning at the age of 20. Levels of
glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and
environmental toxins. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a
ferocious cycle. While you need glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers
the production of glutathione.
Supplements Containing Glutathione Alone Will Not Increase the Body's GSH Levels.
It is pointless to purchase supplements that merely contain glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down
ingested glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system.
