Glutathione (GSH) Your Body's Super Protein

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide (3 proteins in 1 molecule) produced naturally in our cells, and required by every cell in the human body in order to function properly.

It functions as both an Antioxidant and a Antitoxin. Glutathione provides a major defense system against illness and aging. Your Glutathione Level actually is a very good indicator of your state of health, as well as being a predictor of your longevity.

Glutathione Levels in the human body peak somewhere between the age's of 20 to 24 years, and begin to decline at a rate of about 1-2% per decade beyond that age. It is now known that lowered Glutathione Levels are a major contributor to the process of aging.

Today's research has shown that people who have decreased levels of Glutathione are more susceptible to chronic illness. Continual Stress upon the Immune System is a major factor in decreased levels of Glutathione, and can bring about Illness and Disease.

While we need Glutathione for a productive Immune System, a weakened Immune System hinders the production of Glutathione, thus creating a vicious cycle.

There are more that 70,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of Glutathione Replacement, however at this time it is still goes largely unnoticed by mainstream medicine.

Because of the ability of Glutathione to boost the Immune System and fight off the damage of free radicals in cells...the importance of Glutathione will be as widely recognized in the near future, as that of vitamins C and E.


Glutathione has been shown to;
  • Slow down the process of aging
  • Cleanse and detoxify the Liver
  • Improve Liver function
  • Strengthen the Immune System
  • Reduce the chances of developing cancer
  • Improve mental functions
  • Increased Energy
  • Improve Heart and Lung Function
Just to name few!
