Maunganui, New Zealand (prHWY.com) February 13, 2013 - With all the pollution, preservatives in foods, synthetic chemicals, and stress that goes along with modern lifestyle, no wonder that the ageing process often come too soon for a lot of people. Ageing and all its undesirable and life-threatening effects to the human body are all but effects of a destructive process called cellular oxidation. This process, also known as oxidative stress starts by damaging important structures within the cell until the whole cell loses its function and dies. This leads to collateral damage affecting tissues and in the long run, vital organs. Getting a healthy supply of natural substances called antioxidants can protect against oxidative stress and all its damaging aftermath. And there's no other antioxidant that can give your maximum protection against oxidative stress than glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant.

Antioxidants and how they Work

Antioxidants or anti-oxidation agents are nutrients (vitamins and minerals), enzymes, and other natural substances capable of counter-acting the harmful effects of oxidation in human cells and tissues. Oxidation is initiated by unstable oxygen species called free radicals, the by-products of the numerous
metabolic and other biochemical processes occurring in the body. It is thought that the production of free radicals is increased by certain factors like unhealthy diet, stress, and environmental pollution. To prevent all of these, antioxidants work by stabilizing these free radicals to render them harmless. Antioxidants donate oxygen molecules to free radicals so they do not cause oxidation.

About Glutathione

Glutathione is the most abundantly produced antioxidant in the body, and also the most powerful. In the body, glutathione is produced in the liver from the three amino acids (building blocks of proteins) glutamic acid, glycine, and cysteine. Unlike other nutrients, glutathione is not found in foods. But, there
are certain foods that help the body increase its glutathione production like asparagus, avocado, fresh goat meat, broccoli, fresh eggs, spinach, and tomatoes. Curcumin, an antioxidant found in the Indian herb turmeric has shown to boost glutathione levels. Glutathione is also widely available as nutritional supplement in so many forms including pills, capsules, creams, soaps, and IV glutathione. Aside from producing, the liver is also responsible for storing glutathione in the human body. It then transports GSH in the bloodstream to supply other vital organs like the heart, eyes, skin, immune cells, and brain. Glutathione works in so many ways. It basically helps the liver in getting rid of harmful toxins and increases the antioxidant activities of other antioxidants like Vitamin C, E, and Coenzyme Q10.

Health Benefits of the Antioxidant Glutathione

Glutathione delivers the body with so many health benefits. It is widely known to slow down the ageing process and support youthful appearance and vitality. Constant glutathione supply from natural means or glutathione supplements produces rejuvenating and anti-stress effects. More importantly, glutathione supplements help in the prevention and treatment of some health diseases. It protects the liver and the body from toxic substances by aiding it with effective detoxification. GSH is involved in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases by inhibiting lipid oxidation, causing cholesterol plaque deposits that lead to the hardening of the arteries. Arterial plaques also known atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, and Coronary Artery Disease. Glutathione injections, creams, soaps, lotions, and other forms of glutathione supplements are famous for promoting a fairer, smoother, and younger looking skin.
