Glutathione

What is Glutathione?

Simply put, glutathione (GSH) is the body’s

master antioxidant. It is a small protein produced naturally in our cells

when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an

antioxidant and an antitoxin, and is a major defence system against

illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state

of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than

60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione

replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine.

In the near future, the importance of glutathione will be widely

recognized due to its ability to boost the immune system and

fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells. Modern research

has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are

susceptible to chronic illness. Decreased levels of glutathione can be

brought about by continual stress upon the immune system.

As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about

illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need

glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune

system hampers the production of glutathione
