THE GUARDIAN OF THE CELL
Despite having over 100,000 medical articles done on it, glutathione (GSH) is still a relatively unknown antioxidant. This comes as an even bigger surprise because it is regarded as the body’s Master Antioxidant and it is considered one of the best single indicators of overall body toxicity levels.
Benefits of Glutathione
Found in every living cell on the planet, glutathione is vital for both health and life. Responsible for detoxifying our cells, GSH acts as a magnet for toxins and heavy metals. Gathering up these harmful substances and ushering them out of the body, resulting in improved cellular function. The most well documented benefits of supplementing glutathione levels are those to do with liver health. In part this is due to the reduced toxicity level, taking the onus off the liver and allowing it to repair itself.
The liver is the single most important organ when it comes to keeping us healthy, constantly detoxifying our blood and cleansing our body of any potentially harmful infectious agents. By supporting liver health you are really supporting total body health, including cognitive health and immune function.
Now that we have covered why glutathione is so vital for our health and well-being, it is important to understand how to best increase your GSH levels.
