Glutathione is also known as the Master Detoxifier and the Mother of All Antioxidants and the Chief of the Immune System.
Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant in plants and animals that reduces cellular inflammation.
The role of glutathione has been well researched and described in medical literature for many years now, yet its role and importance is not widely known even among professionals. This master detoxifier also supports mitochondrial function, healthy aging, protection from mercury and other toxic metals, protects from alcohol and environmental pollutants. However, as we age, glutathione levels naturally diminish thus setting the stage for many diseases associated with low levels of glutathione.
Diseases Associated with Glutathione Depletion:
Neurodegenerative: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson, Huntington’s
Pulmonary: Asthma, COPD, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Immune: HIV, Autoimmune Diseases
Cardiovascular: Hypertension, MI (myocardial infarction), Cholesterol Oxidation
Age related diseases: Cataracts, Macular Degeneration, Hearing Impairment, Glaucoma
Liver Disease: Fatty Liver Disease
Cystic Fibrosis
Ways Glutathione Supports Your Health:
Aging Process: Higher Glutathione levels associated with higher levels of physical health, fewer illnesses and better cognitive function.
Glutathione plays a major role in immune function, supports detoxification, energy production and remains crucial in antioxidant activity.
The immune system identifies and attacks germs and other invaders including cancer cells. As long as it has an adequate supply of glutathione.
Master Detoxifier. Our air, food, and water are full of toxic substances. The immune system has to protect us with the help of the liver as the main organ of detoxification. Glutathione helps support liver function thus aiding to prevent toxins from causing cell and organ damage.
Energy Generator. Glutathione provides sustained energy on a molecular level by mopping up unwanted byproducts like free radicals. On the cellular level glutathione aids in the continuous energy production by the mitochondria. The whole body needs glutathione to maintain physical and mental performance.
Mother of All Antioxidants. There is a strong association between disease processes and oxidative stress. A wide variety of antioxidant foods and nutrients are essential to good health and disease prevention. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E along with Selenium are not produced by the body and depend solely on dietary sources. However, their function depends on the presence of glutathione
How to increase Glutathione?
Decrease the need by reducing toxic load; limit alcohol, conventionally grown foods, air and water pollutants.
There are a handful of foods that naturally contain glutathione, including asparagus, avocado, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, spinach, broccoli, garlic, chives, tomatoes, cucumber, almonds, and walnuts. However, a variety of factors can affect the levels of this vital nutrient, including storage and cooking.
Supplement with Alpha-Lipoic Acid, NAC (N-Acetylcysteine), SAMe
Glutathione supplementation can be done orally, by IV, or by nebulizer. Once again, a variety of factors can affect the levels of absorption.

To help us better understand the importance of glutathione I have invited Dr. Gilford, MD to be our guest speaker tomorrow. He is a well-known expert on the subject of glutathione with many published papers and years of research in this field.
Dr. Guilford states that Glutathione also functions as a cell signal in the immune system, so it serves as a critical component linking toxicity and oxidation stress to immune dysfunction. Dr. Gilford’s study of the role that glutathione plays in the basic mechanism of many diseases led to his formulation of ReadiSorb Glutathione, liposome encapsulation of reduced glutathione, over 8 years ago. A number of studies related to the properties of liposomal glutathione have been published and more are in progress. When: Apr 13,
