Glutathione Is The Most Powerful Free Radical Scavenger Produced By The Human Body

Free radicals are unstable atoms produced naturally in the body by mitochondria (energy producers) that can damage cells causing illness and aging, and possibly causing disease. This process is normal, however the production of free radicals is accelerated by lifestyle factors such as poor diet, toxin exposure, smoking, stress, alcohol, or over exercising for example. This is typically when the disease part steps in.

Glutathione can help to dampen the affects of free radical production by binding to these unstable atoms and stabilizing them. This has HUGE implications for the brain, as concussions, stress and TBI causes mass amounts of inflammation and free radicals in the brain.

Glutathione is a potent chelator of heavy metals and toxins, great for those who’ve been exposed to toxic mold or mycotoxins, and is critical for a strong immune system and clearing toxins from your body. Research into the substance suggests that it is crucial to have adequate levels in order for the immune system to adequately fight off viruses and bacteria.

Levels in the body can be supported by taking NAC, milk thistle, or supplementing with liposomal glutathione.
