The Amazing Benefits of Glutathione

Glutathione is a simple molecule that contains three proteins or amino acids, namely cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. It is naturally produced within your body and is regarded by medical researchers to be the most important molecule to maintain good health and prevent disease. They refer to glutathione as the "master antioxidant" because it is able to recycle itself and other antioxidants like Vitamin C, to continue their work in neutralizing free radicals.

How Glutathione Works in the Body

Glutathione is present in every cell of your body helping to protect your heart, brain, the lenses of your eyes, liver, lungs, and skin from damage by excessive oxidation and environmental toxins. High levels of glutathione help protect against serious illness such as, cancer, heart disease, dementia, and other chronic diseases. It slows the normal aging process and has been successful in reducing the effects of autism, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

Recent scientific research also suggests that raised glutathione levels increase strength and endurance of those undertaking strenuous sporting activities, decreases muscle damage and reduces recovery time. There is some evidence that improved metabolism also result when glutathione levels are raised, helping convert fat into to muscle development for healthy weight management.

If the body produces this wonderful molecule then why do I need to be concerned about it, just let the body continue what it's already doing?

That's fine when you are young. Have you ever noticed how quickly children recover from cuts and bruises? Have you also noticed that as we age the natural healing process slows down? That because the body's ability to produce glutathione begins to decline when we are around 20 years old and by the time we reach middle age our body is producing 50% less glutathione than it was when we were young.

Environmental toxins further deplete Glutathione levels, so too does poor sleep patterns, stress and excessive physically exhausting activities.

How to Boost Your Glutathione Levels

If you want to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, reduce your likelihood of developing a serious disease and slow the normal aging process it is essential to keep your glutathione levels high. Glutathione is critical for a strong immune system that's capable of controlling inflammation. It is your body's very own master detoxifier and the body's main antioxidant, protecting your cells and boosting your metabolism to create natural ATP energy so that your body continues to run well.

So How do I TOP-UP my Glutathione Levels?

Unfortunately, taking a supplement or eating foods that contain glutathione is a very ineffective way to top-up your glutathione levels. That's because this very simple yet powerful molecule is largely destroyed in the highly acidic digestive process when taken orally.

The BEST way is to increase glutathione levels is to enhance your body's natural ability to produce glutathione, by providing the nutrients the body needs for glutathione production. Certain sulfur-rich foods such as garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables do offer marginal assistance.

In fact, it's not easy to boost the natural production of glutathione; there have been several decades of research trying to find an effective method. Until recently, the most effective method was NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) supplementation, which provides essential nutrients the body uses to produce glutathione. This was an amazing advance the knowledge of glutathione production and delivered real health benefits to hundreds and hundreds of people around the world.

But now there's some GOOD NEWS... there is a Better Way!

After 25 years of research Dr. Herbert Nagasawa developed a chemical compound he called RiboCeine™, which encases the essential and fragile cysteine element in ribose for safe and highly effective delivery into each and every cell of the body. In fact, more than 20 peer-reviewed studies have confirmed that RiboCeine is 300% more effective than NAC supplementation. Max International offer several glutathione boosting products that are powered by RiboCeine, visit the Health plus Wealth website for more details on how to purchase these products.
