Understanding Glutathione And Why It Is Your Body's Master AntioxidantGlutathione (GSH) is without a doubt your body's most important protector of all cells. Glutathione is the master antioxidant! Glutathione is a tripeptide, which are three proteins in one molecule that is made from glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine. The most important of the three components is cysteine. You will find glutathione in every cell in the body. The largest concentrations of glutathione are found in the liver, where it detoxifies, the spleen, for immune system defense, and the highest amount of glutathione is found in the skin. GSH functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Glutathione levels are a major indicator of our overall health and life span. In fact, in studying centurions, there are two common denominators in reaching the age of 100, a positive attitude and a high level of glutathione. Our cells create their own fuel called (ATP). When a cell does it creates it’s own oxidative flame. A fire extinguisher is then need to put out the fire. That fire extinquisher is glutathione (GSH). Antioxidants are needed to put out this fire. Glutathione is your bodies master antioxidant. The Benefits of Glutathione: Glutathione is recognized to have the ability to fight off the damage from free radicals within the cells, and boost the immune system. Increasing Cellular Glutathione can: * Strengthen your immune system * Dramatically Boost your energy level * Slow down the aging process * Fight Intracellular Inflammation * Detoxify your body (including heavy metal detoxification) * Enhance Athletic performance and Recovery * Greater Mental functions such as, improved memory, alertness, focus and concentration * Boost your sense of well being The bad news: Your glutathione levels, which is your bodies natural defense against aging and intracellular inflammation, decreases from 10 to 15% per decade. There are numerous daily activities that decrease GSH levels such as, stress, environmental toxins, exercise and infections. There is a great deal of research that has shown that people with low levels of GSH are very susceptible to chronic disease. A compromised immune system can lead to illness and disease. We all need glutathione for an effective immune system, but a weakened immune system hinders the production of GSH. This is a vicious cycle that many of us just accept as part of life and the aging process. But..The Good News Is There now are ways to raise the levels of this miracle protein to raise the quality of life for all of us!
