Why is Glutathione so important to your health and well-being?

Glutathione (pronounced 'glue-ta-thigh-own') is essential to the body's use and functioning of other antioxidants.

Importance of Glutathione

This supplement immediately replenishes the bodies supply of glutathione, ensuring that all of the good work you are doing by consuming fresh, healthy, antioxidant-rich foods isnt going to waste. It is a tripeptide composed of glutamic, cysteine and glycine. Glutathione is found in all cells in the body, including the bile, the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs, and - at much smaller concentrations - in the blood.

Without glutathione, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to metabolic acids, and your liver would shrivel up from the eventual accumulation of acidic toxins.

Glutathione is not yet a household word. Even some medical and holistic doctors who have heard the term may still have only a vague idea of what it is. However, everyone will soon be talking about this critical non-nutritive substance.

There was a time when only scientists had heard of cholesterol and vitamins, but today, everyone knows about them. Now the magnificence of glutathione is becoming known.

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.

Some well-known causes of glutathione depletion are as follows:

1) Acidic lifestyle and diet 2) Air and Water pollution 3) Prescription and recreational drugs 4) Ultraviolet and Radiation from cells phones, computers, electrical cars, power lines, hair dryers, etc. 5) Emotional and physical stress 6) Injury, trauma or burns 7) Heavy metals 8) Cigarette smoke 9) Household chemicals 10) Acetaminophen poisoning 11) Exhaust from motor vehicles 12) Septic shock
