Glutathione: What is it? Glutathione is a tri-peptide composed of three amino acids: Cysteine, Glutamic Acid and Glycine. Glutathione and the enzymes it forms, such as GTH peroxidase, are essential to all life and are found in tissues of virtually all plants and animals. GTH is present in all human cells, with the highest levels found in the liver, the lenses of the eyes, pancreas, spleen and kidneys. Glutathione acts as a powerful antioxidant, a key protector against all types of pollution and is effective in preventing aging. It protects DNA and RNA from free-radical damage. Glutathione also protects against cellular peroxidation caused by exposure to pesticides, plastics, benzene and carbon tetrachloride, as well as heavy metals, cigarette smoke, smog, drugs, solvents, dyes, phenols and nitrates. Glutathione works to inhibit the formation of free radicals, dangerous agents that suppress the immune system and promote the formation of mutagens and carcinogens. Free radicals also speed up the aging process, and it is due to this antioxidant activity that Glutathione is considered useful in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of degenerative diseases. Studies at the Louisville School of Medicine have clearly shown that Glutathione possesses the unique ability to slow the aging process. While Glutathione aids in the protection of all cells and membranes, a study at Harvard Medical School found that Glutathione is especially able to enhance immune system cells, protecting against damage from radiation and helping to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and x-rays and alcohol. As a detoxifier of metals and drugs, Glutathione also aids in the treatment of blood and liver disorders. As individuals grow older, Glutathione levels drop, and the ability to detoxify free radicals decreases. It can protect against cadmium, copper, and acetaminophen (the active agent in Tylenol) toxicity. Glutathione aids the liver in detoxification, slows the aging process, helps the cardiovascular and immune systems, and is helpful in preventing or treating many other health conditions. Supplementation may prevent, or be helpful with, the following conditions: Aging Alcoholism Asthma Atherosclerosis (heart disease) Cancer Cataracts Dizziness Hepatitis Immunodepression (immune function) Infertility (male) Memory Loss (Alzheimer's disease, dementia) Osteoarthritis Parkinson's Disease Peptic Ulcers The "Bottom Line" for Glutathione Glutathione helps to support the proper functioning of your immune system, and will improve immune systems already in retreat. Glutathione acts as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, thereby protecting our DNA and RDA from damage due to many environmental factors. Glutathione acts as the regulator of other antioxidants, thereby "keeping'em all in line", so to speak. Glutathione acts as a detoxifying agent, removing foreign objects, chemicals and toxins from the body. As you age, your levels of Glutathione are depleted, thereby allowing the aging process to accelerate. Levels of Glutathione can be sucessfully improved by taking a high quality nutritional supplement! IN OTHER WORDS: Glutathione boosts your immune system to such a degree that you can now fight off all those nasty bugs that used to bother you! Back to our Glutathione page Main Nutritionals page. Question? Email us!   "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, cure, prevent or treat any diseases." The above is a Government ORDERED statement. It is NOT based in either reality or sanity. Just like our Government. In a landmark decision on Friday, Jan. 15, 1999, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the health claim rules imposed by the FDA unconstitutional and in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. The court instructed the FDA to define "significant scientific agreement" for health claims on dietary supplement labels, and instructed the FDA to allow the use of disclaimers on labels rather than to suppress these claims outright. The court further held that four FDA Final rules (prohibiting certain nutrient disease relationship claims) invalid under the first Amendment to the Constitution.
