The Truth About Glutathione

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is an anti-oxidant that is already naturally occurring in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as a “master anti-oxidant” due to its ability to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. It has been studied to be an important substance in cell functions that improve the immune system, protect cells especially in the kidneys, arteries, heart and brain. It is further being studied for preventing liver cancer. In promoting the functions of the body at the cell level, it also has the effect of lightening the skin, promoting smoothness, having anti-aging properties.

In Japan, Glutathione has been used as a pharmaceutical in the form of oral drugs and injections for therapies related to liver function and skin disorders. Large doses of Glutathione given orally or intravenously showed no significant toxicity.

Glutathione, the Life Extension Molecule

Low glutathione levels are found in immune compromised individuals.

• Neuro-degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ALS, Alzheimers and Parkinson’s disease,
• atherosclerosis,
• male infertility,
• pregnancy complications,
• cataracts,
• damage from any pharmaceutical drugs,

What the experts are saying about Glutathione

“Glutathione is a substance, the levels of which in our cells are predictive of how long we will live. There are very few other factors which are as predictive of our life expectancy as is our level of cellular glutathione. Glutathione has been called the “master anti-oxidant”, and regulates the actions of lesser antioxidant such as Vitamin C and vitamin E within the body.

We literally cannot survive without this antioxidant”
-Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D, in What You Should Know about the Super Antioxidant Miracle

“No other antioxidant is as important to overall health as glutathione. It is the regulator and regenerator of immune cells and the most valuable detoxifying agent in the human body. Low levels are associated with hepatic dysfunction, immune dysfunction, cardiac disease, premature aging, and death..”
-Lorna R. Vandderhaeghe & Patrick J.D. Boius, Ph.D. in the “Immune System Cure”

“If there is one survival tool every HIV( ) person should consider it is taking dietary supplements that increase glutathione production”
-Dr. Michael Mooney

“A deficiency of glutathione can cause hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells, leading to anemia) And oxidate stress.”
