Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant. Without it, the other antioxidants in the body cannot function properly, so ensuring we have enough of this vital nutrient is incredibly important. While the body can manufacture glutathione, it’s supplies are rapidly depleated by exercise, stress and the digestion of unhealthy foods and drinks. This supplement immediately replenishes this supply, ensuring that all of the good work you are doing by consuming fresh, healthy, antioxidant-rich foods isn’t going to waste. The benefits of glutathione are astounding and we are constantly getting feedback from our customers that their energy levels are noticeably higher once they start supplementing with this product. More about Glutathione: Glutathione is a tripetide that functions as the body’s most important antioxidant. Because all other antioxidants depend upon the presence of glutathione to function properly, scientists call it the "Master Antioxidant". Each and every cell in the body is responsible for its own supply of glutathione and must have the necessary raw materials in order to produce it. Glutathione is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any sort of emotional or physical stress, fatigue and even moderate exercise. In the last five years, over 25,000 medical articles about this substance have been published, and the scientific understanding of glutathione is gradually becoming common knowledge. Some well-known causes of glutathione depletion are as follows: - Acidic lifestyle and diet
- Air and Water pollution
- Prescription and recreational drugs
- Ultraviolet and Radiation from mobile phones, computers, electrical cars, power lines, hair dryers, etc.
- Emotional and physical stress
- Injury, trauma or burns
- Heavy metals
- Cigarette smoke
- Household chemicals
- Acetaminophen poisoning
- Exhaust from motor vehicles
- Septic shock
If you are exposed to of consume any of the above then it is highly likely that your body is depleated of glutathione. The Three Roles of Glutathione The Master Antioxidant Given the critical role of antioxidants in good health, it is not surprising that the body itself manufactures its own natural antioxidants. The most important of these is glutathione. Because all other antioxidants depend upon the presence of glutathione to function properly, scientists call it ’the master antioxidant.’ Glutathione binds to toxins, forming a water-soluble complex - which is ultimately excreted in the urine or bile as waste. Food for the Blood Elevated glutathione levels enable the body to produce more white blood cells. White blood cells are the body’s garbage collectors and are the most important cells for maintaining sterility of the body fluids. Healthy growth and activity of the white blood cells depends upon glutathione’s availability. Put simply, glutathione is ’food’ for the white blood cells. Cellular Detoxifier Whether we know it or not, we are continually inhaling and ingesting natural and synthetic acidic toxins. They are unavoidable in these modern times both in our polluted cities and our poorly engineered food supplies. When the body has the health and the nourishment it needs, it works tirelessly to eliminate acidic toxins and to protect itself. But, increasing levels of environmental pollution are depleting the body’s store of glutathione more and more rapidly. Our main organ of detoxification of acidic waste products is the lymphatic system and the liver. This is the body’s most concentrated source of glutathione. Studies show that low glutathione levels lead to poor lymphatic and liver function, causing more and more acidic toxins to circulate through the body and resulting in damage to individual cells and organs. As part of a healthy diet we strongly recommend supplementing with glutathione to ensure that the hard work you do with your diet and exercise isn’t going to waste. |
