Glutathione - The Master Antioxidant !

Glutathione is produced naturally in our cells if the required building blocks are available. As an antioxidant, glutathione is present in every cell in your body to protect them from free radicals and oxidative stress, which is caused by environmental pollutants, diet, stress, and even exercise, just to name a few.

Just as a car generates exhaust when it burns gasoline to produce energy, the body's natural processes generate "exhaust" as well-free radicals. These in turn can start chain reactions of oxidative stress that damage cells. Preventing these chain reactions is critical, as oxidative stress has been associated with more than 74 major diseases and disorders. Antioxidants halt these chain reactions. The reason glutathione is so important and effective is that it can subdue many more free radicals than its antioxidant cousins.


Why you need it
You don't have to be a scientist or an antioxidant guru to appreciate everything glutathione can do for you and your cells. As you increase your glutathione levels, you can experience multiple benefits because glutathione:

  •  Is present in every cell in the body.
  •  Is a primary cell detoxifier.
  •  Strengthens the immune system.
  •  Fights intracellular inflammation.
  •  Supports increased exercise.
  •  Slows the aging process.

Below is a very interesting video explanation as to exactly how glutathione works in every cell in your body.
This video is approximately 12 minutes long, but it may be the most important 12 minutes of your life.
If keeping your health is important to you, I hightly recommend taking the time to watch.

John Dawson holds a Masters degree in Business and undergraduate degree in Biology.  In the following video he explains glutathione’s role in the cell and function compared to external anti-oxidants.
