Glutathione
Glutathione, commonly referred to as the master anti-oxidant, is a compound produced in the body that is present in various tissues, acting as a neutralizer of toxins and promoting repair.
Glutathione has been used as a therapy to neurodegenerative disorders and as adjunctive to chemotherapy. There are various reports of it being used for rejuvenating purposes with the rationale that the aging process involves damage from free radicals and glutathione neutralizes the toxins and promotes healing and repair. Various studies have demonstrated correlation of glutathione levels to the health of the tissue.
Glutathione is a naturally occurring substance that acts as a detoxifier, an antioxidant and an immune system booster. It’s the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent disease. It can help your body repair damage caused by stress, pollution, radiation, infection, drugs, poor diet, aging, injury, trauma, and burns by reducing oxidative stress, free radicals and chronic inflammation in your body.
Glutathione can help improve aging, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, cancer, chronic infections, autoimmune disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease and more. A high level of glutathione is critical for recovery from exercise and nearly all chronic illnesses as well as maintaining peak mental and physical function. Research has shown that elevated glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.
Keeping yourself healthy, boosting your immune system, performance, preventing disease and aging well depends on keeping your glutathione levels high.
