Glutathione 1500mg

A naturally occurring substance within the body that is made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions in the body, combats free radicals (molecules that can damage cells), detoxifies chemicals and pollutants, and is a natural antioxidant. Glutathione levels in the body may be reduced by a number of factors, including aging, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress; this drop is correlated with poorer health and the development of many disorders. Levels also fall if you have certain conditions, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, Type-2 Diabetes, Hepatitis, and Parkinson’s disease.

BENEFITS

• Antioxidant properties
• Detoxification properties
• Reduces oxidative stress that can contribute to symptoms in many different chronic conditions, including autoimmune disease
• Helps mitigate the harmful effects of radiation and chemotherapy
• Combats male infertility
• Enhances immune function
• Reduces inflammation
• Better skin health – fewer wrinkles, better elasticity, reduced photoaging
• Purges heavy metals from the system
• Improves cartilage health
• Can boost athletic performance and exercise output; pre-exercise glutathione administration improves lipid (fat) metabolism and acidification in skeletal muscles, resulting in less muscle fatigue
• Flushes toxins from the liver
• Promotes brain health – helps prevent or manage Parkinson’s and reduces neuronal damage following stroke
• Promotes long-term eye health, particularly of the retina, lens, and cornea. Supports the Muller cells, which regulate retinal function and protect the eye against pathogens. Decreases oxidative stress in the eye and delays age-related changes, including loss of visual acuity and the incidence of cataracts
• When combined with L-citrulline, glutathione maximizes the production of nitric oxide, which dilates the blood vessels to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles and tissue
• Protects the liver from damage. One study of people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease had improved liver enzymes after four months of consistent dosing
• May help with weight loss

SYMPTOMS OF LOW GLUTATHIONE

• Fatigue
• Brain fog/confusion
• Bad skin
• Deteriorating vision
• Sleep problems
• Frequent infections
• Anemia (low red blood cell count)
• Loss of coordination
• Seizures

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

• Gas
• Diarrhea
• Flushing/warming of the skin
• Weight gain

WHAT TO AVOID WHILE TAKING GLUTATHIONE

• Alcohol – Creates oxidative stress, which uses up antioxidants. Places a burden on the system and depletes Glutathione levels
• Tobacco – Depletes Glutathione levels and compounds the adverse effects of smoking
• Aspartame – Changes the transculturation pathway in the liver in which Glutathione is involved. Inhibits detoxification, depletes Glutathione levels, and increases inflammation

Consult a Physician Before Use If You Take:

• NSAIDs
• Immunosuppressants
• Chemotherapy drugs
• Oral contraceptives
