FACTS ABOUT
GLUTATHIONE GLUTATHIONE
small protein composed of 3 amino acids called cysteine, glutamic
acid and glycine, produced normally by the body in response to today’s environment such as pollution in the air we breath, water we drink, chemicals & pesticides in the food we eat that cause damages in our cells & system.small molecule made up of linked amino acids and anti-oxidant naturally produced in the body. It has been widely heralded for its importance for good health and long life. Glutathione in increased dose posts a remarkable good side effect' such as SKIN WHITENING".the greater the exposure to toxins, the faster the body uses up its supply glutathione. Without the protection of Glutathione, cells die at a faster rate, making people age quicker & putting them at risk for toxin induced diseases including cancer.”
GLUTATHIONE (GSH) (Anti-oxidant, Anti-aging and for Fairer Skin)COMMON NAME: GSH CLINICAL NAME:Glutathione SYNONYM: Reduced L- glutathione (note: there is no such thing as unreduced glutathione)CHEMICAL NAME: Gamma-L-glutamyl – L – cysteninylglycine or L-7-glutanyl – cysteinylglycineDEFINITION:L-Glutathione is biologically active sulfur amino acid tripeptide compound consisting of: L-Cysteine L-Glutamic acid Glycine FOUND WHERE? >present in virtually in all mammalian tissue mostly in liver where it detoxifies many harmful compounds to be excreted through the bile >red and white blood cells >lungs > intestinal tract PRIMARY BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS:>to act as a non-enzymatic reducing agent to help keep
cysteine thiol side chains in a reduce state on the surface of proteins > involved in the synthesis & repair of DNA >helps to recycle Vit. C and Vit. E >blocks free radical damage >enhances the anti-oxidant activity of Vit. C >facilitates the transport of amino acids >plays a critical role in the detoxification of harmful compounds >is the base material for several other key antioxidant enzyme systems such as glutathione-peroxidase, glutathione-reductase and glutathione-transferase, Body (AID) A - ntioxidant I - mmune booster D - etoxifier THEREFORE, declines in glutathione concentrations in intracellular fluids correlate directly with indicators of aging.DIETARY SOURCES:Glutathione is derived from L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid and Glycine and is not consumed directly as a food constituent.DEFICIENCY OF GLUTATHIONE CAUSES: coordination problems generalized cell damage mental disorders various nervous system disorders tremors and twitching red cells are prone to burst white blood cells decline in function nerve tissue degenerates DEFICIENCY OF INTRACELLULAR GLUTATHIONE has been associated with a variety of conditions including: AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) Alcohol induced liver diseases Some forms of
cancer PROVEN THERAPEUTIC USES antioxidant action cancer cataracts liver diseases muscular degeneration MECHANISM OF ACTIONsupport of antioxidant process modify the normal pigmentation pathway from eumelanin to pheomelanin MAINTENANCE DOSE:
As antioxidant and as anti-aging dose: 10mg per kilogram bodyweight per dayAs skin whitener: 20-40mg per kilo bodyweight per day in 2-3 divided doses.
Note: Best taken with preferably 30 minutes before meals or 1 hour after meals.May be taken together with other antioxidants such as
Vit C, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Grapeseed Oil Extracts 1,000mg, Vit E and Vit A to prevent glutathione oxidation and regenerate oxidized glutathione. SIDE-EFFECTS:
Generally considered to be free of side-effects. No untoward side-effects nor interactions with oral administration reported even in prolonged use.Very SAFE. The only reported side- effect is SKIN WHITENING when taken in increased doses. TOXICITY:
No toxicities have been reported or suspected as being associated with glutathione. CONTRAINDICATIONS:
None known, except for use during some forms of chemotherapy and radiation where antioxidants are contraindicated due to their inhibition of the free radical formation which is an integral part of the therapeutic mechanism. INTERACTIONS:
Nutrient affected drug – Cisplatin (Anti Chemotherapeutic agent) and Haloperidol (anti-psychotic drug). WHO NEEDS GLUTATHIONE: smokers 30 years old is a mustalcoholic drinkerswith low immune system (recovering from sickness and operations)with liver problems (fatty liver, hepa A, B and C)with thyroid problemshas history of cataract problemswith low quality and low sperm countswith cancer (prostate cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer)post partum patients (mothers who just gave birth)on chemotherapy recoveryexposed to chemicals / pesticides who consumes fish oils & VCO
LOW GLUTATHIONE LEVELS ARE FOUND IN Aging populationImmunocompromised individualsWith atherosclerosiMale infertilityPregnancy complicationsHyperthyrodismLiver problemsCataractsCancerAlzheimers, Parkinsons, M.S.Results of oxidative stress due to diseases, drugs pollution, radiation and smoking
