What is Glutathione Glutathione, or GSH, is an important substance which the body produces and which every cell in the body contains. It has been called the body’s “Master Antioxidant” because it helps the body fight cancer, combat diabetes, prevent arteriosclerosis (leading to stroke and heart attacks), prevent aging, detoxify, and repair general body damage caused by factors from stress to radiation. In this blog we look at four diseases and how glutathione helps reduce or minimize their signs and symptoms. GSH and Diabetes Diabetics are vulnerable to infections of the skin and the bloodstream because of their compromised immune systems. Resulting infections pose serious life threatening complications. Impaired blood circulation causes diabetics a host of problems, some of which can lead to amputations and death. High glutathione levels in the body bolster a diabetic’s immune system which fights off infection. GSH helps decrease the collecting of platelets in artery walls, resulting in freer blood flow and circulation. This improved circulation helps prevent heart disease, stroke, kidney, retinal, and nerve damages. GSH and Cholesterol LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, is a fatty substance that leads to accumulation of plaques on the inner wall of arteries. Oxidation of fat in the blood stream causes more thickening. Glutathione in elevated levels may contain high amounts of lactoferrin, which is a protein that prevents LDL-cholesterol oxidation. It also reduces cholesterol by promoting the functioning of an enzyme called cholesterol hydroxylase. GSH and Arteriosclerosis Heart disease and stroke result from thickening of arterial walls that constricts blood flow. The thickening is a disease called arteriosclerosis. In addition to heart disease and stroke, arteriosclerosis leads to high blood pressure and kidney failure. Glutathione is an antioxidant that occurs naturally in our cells. As such, it fights arteriosclerosis by decreasing LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, protecting the inner lining of arteries, reducing inflammation, and reducing the formation of white blood cells that stick to platelets and thicken artery walls. GSH and Cancer Glutathione promotes the cancer-killing activity of T cells and NK cells. It also promotes the activity and presence of lymphocytes which combat cancer cell growth. Immunocal: Your GSH Source How does a person boost his or her glutathione levels? By eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, and by taking a GSH supplement. Glutathione supplements are available in various forms, including pills, creams, and injections. We believe that Immunocal is the best glutathione supplement on the market today. Immunocal is a proven glutathione augmentation supplement. It is not glutathione itself; it’s a “precursor.” This means it’s a substance that contains the building blocks that the body uses to make glutathione. Immunocal is an undenatured whey protein isolate. It makes available a substance called cysteine, which is an amino acid that is critical in the production and activity of glutathione. Immunocal is not difficult to take. It is a powder, packaged in sachets, that should be mixed with water or juice. It’s a product that is safe for everyone, although people who are undergoing immunosuppressive therapies should discuss it with their doctor before taking it. Click here to order your supply.
