GLUTATHIONE: Essential Health AID
GLUTATHIONE
(pronounced “gloota-thigh-own”)
What is it?
Glutathione is the body’s essential health AID- Antioxidant, Immune booster and Detoxifier. This protein is produced naturally in the body and your life depends on it. Over 76,000 medical journal articles attest to the fact that glutathione is the most important molecule manufactured by your body to prevent aging, asthma, arthritis, cancer, cataracts, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, pulmonary fibrosis, Parkinson’s, macular degeneration and autoimmune disease. Without glutathione your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation and so your body would have barely any resistance to viruses, cancer, infectious diseases and the like. Your liver would shrivel up from all the surrounding toxins. If there is any disease of any kind present in the body you can prove the existence of glutathione deficiency. Maintaining a high level of glutathione in one’s system is critical to prevention and recovery from all chronic diseases.
Being that glutathione is naturally produced in our bodies, it’s important that we keep it healthy since it’s level can diminish as we age and become deficient. Some of the ways glutathione experiences loss is poor diet, pollution, drugs, radiation, stress, injury, trauma, burns, aging, and infection where we see a buildup of free radicals, oxidative stress and a buildup of toxins. This leads to cellular aging, disease and death.
Optimize your glutathione level and you will optimize your longevity.

Be aware, as we all know, every individual has a different requirement for glutathione. It depends on age, stress level, general health, inflammation and disease in the body and one’s activity level. Work with a natural health care provider to determine your needs and how to optimize your body’s glutathione.
