Glutathione - The Most Powerful Antioxidant
Glutathione, sometimes referred to as GSH, is a relatively unheard of antioxidant. It has been said to be the modern day overall health booster of nutritional medicine and may be the one antioxidant that makes all the other ones work well.
GSH is a natural protein found in many fruits and vegetables. It is known as 'natures policeman' because it helps to round up and neutralize the toxins that enter and pollute our systems. These toxins play havoc on our health by causing countless chronic health problems. Higher levels of GSH helps to keep us more healthy and disease free!
Glutathione is a tripeptide made of cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Found abundantly in the body when we're young, it is a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier. That's why it could be helpful to many conditions, which include: allergies, arthritis, asthma, Cancer, cataracts, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive problems, heart disease, HIV, hyperactivity, infections, jet lag, mood swings, muscle pain, skin problems, weight gain, and so many more! I've been taking it off and on for several years now, after reading a book about it some 15 years ago and was amazed to learn about it's amazing qualities. Like most people, I had never heard of it before that time. When I began taking Glutathione for the first time, I noticed a surge of energy I had not felt in years! (Thank You God!) That's one reason I call it 'nature's buzz'! Sure beats the heck of our depending on caffeine to do the trick! The negative side effects of caffeine can be hard to deal with! GSH is produced in abundance in the liver when you are young, just like everything else. However, as you grow older, its cellular production decreases to such low levels that it can become almost non-existent in your body.

The liver is responsible for detoxifying our bodies in addition to keeping our blood clean and pure. It is vital to have high levels of Glutathione for optimum health. The truth is however, that we need abundant amounts of it to protect us against the harmful free radicals that roam our earth. It helps keep the cells healthy and disease free. It also helps combat environmental toxins and free radicals more than any other antioxidant. Selenium helps form the building blocks for this supplement, and Vitamin E makes it work more effectively! Many health experts have implied, said, noted, and confirmed, that your liver is the most important vital organ of your body. It is extremely important to keep it functioning at its maximum. It does so much for us! And it’s one of the only organs in our bodies that can regenerate itself, so if you have minimal liver damage you can most probably reverse the degeneration, if you take the necessary steps! Proper liver function is vital to combating toxins that may lead to CANCER. Glutathione has also been shown to help repair damaged DNA that plays an essential part in retarding the aging process. If you have any form of Hepatitis, you should provide as much liver support as possible. Hepatitis can be deadly and can cause excessive damage to your liver. You might also want to try doing a simple liver cleanse for better liver function or a liver flush for gall stones. *Foods that provide this supplement include: Foods - Mg.per 100 gms. *Source: Dean P.Jones, Ralph J. Coates, et al., "Glutathione in Foods Listed in the National Cancer Institutes Health Habits and History Food Frequency Questionnaire," Nutrition and Cancer, vol. 17, no. 1, pp 57-75, 1992 Other foods that contain high levels are:Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, Kale, Bok Choy, Cress, Mustard, Horseradish, Turnips, Rutabaga’s and Kohlrabi. *Which Product Should I Take and How Much Should I Take? There are many forms of Glutathione around but you probably won't be able to find it at your local Walmart or superstore. You can buy Twin Lab L-Glutathione Caps which are 50 mg. or GNC L-Glutathione Tablets which is 100 mg. They both work well. Your decision as to how much to take should be based on your present physical condition. If you have or have had liver problems, you might opt for products with higher milligrams. Cost vary from brand to brand, but are all relatively inexpensive. Instructions are to take one capsule a day. Because of my own experience in taking this supplement, I suggest that you start off taking one then slowly move up to taking two daily. If you wake up in the morning feeling revitalized, take only one capsule. On days that you're feeling a bit run down, take two for a natural energy boost. If you want to buy this supplement locally and can't find L-Glutatione, you can take NAC instead. NAC forms the building blocks for GSH in your liver! *Do You Need Glutathione? If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, GSH just might be the one supplement you've been missing and need the most. Some people have a hard time taking this supplement, as it can upset the stomach. If you can't tolerate it, there is a viable alternative. It’s called NAC and is basically the same price as taking L-Glutathione. Find out more about NAC on the next vitamin supplements page. Related Products
