Finally, to unify the synergistic effect of these individually powerful ingredients, we need the last and most compelling. It is the Mother of all ANTIOXIDANTS, the Master detoxifier, and Maestro of the Immune System…
According to American physician and best-selling author, Dr. Mark Hyman, Glutathione is the secret to preventing aging, cancer, heart disease, dementia and more.
The good news is that your body produces its own Glutathione. The bad news is that poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections, and radiation all deplete it. This leaves you vulnerable to uncontrolled cell deterioration from free radicals, infections, and cancer. And your liver becomes overloaded so it cannot do its job of cleansing and detoxifying.
As it turns out, Glutathione deficiency is found in nearly all extremely sick people, including those with Alzheimer’s, arthritis, asthma, autism, autoimmune disease, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic infection, diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, liver disease, Parkinson’s, and more.
Though it was initially assumed to be coincidental, we have since learned that our ability to produce and maintain a high level of glutathione is essential for recovery from nearly all chronic illness – AND absolutely crucial for preventing disease and maintaining optimal health, wellness, and performance.
It is a simple molecule, a tripeptide or small protein, produced continuously in our body, and made of three simple amino acids — cysteine, glycine & glutamine. It is often called the “Master” Antioxidant. Glutathione boosts the recycling of other ANTIOXIDANTS, namely vitamins C and E, as well as alpha lipoic acid and CoQ10.
Like every other molecule in our bodies, there are genes responsible for creating the enzymes that signal our body to manufacture and recycle Glutathione.
The secret of Glutathione’s power is that it contains sulfur (SH) which is a sticky, smelly molecule. It acts like fly paper and all the bad things in the body are attracted to it, like free radicals which are pollutants, toxins like mercury, and other heavy metals. So, we could say that Glutathione is basically a free radical SCAVENGER.
