Glutathione is one of our favourite vitamins at Reset and here’s why!
What is Glutathione?
Glutathione, often hailed as the body’s “master antioxidant,” is naturally occurring in the human body and stands as a crucial defender against a myriad of diseases. Glutathione acts as a powerful detoxifier, helping to strengthen and protect the body’s cells.
Glutathione is present in every cell of the body and is particularly abundant in the liver, where it plays a crucial role in detoxification. However, the level of glutathione naturally occurring in the body is influenced by nutrition, exposure to environmental toxins, stress, use of alcohol and prescription medications and cellular aging. All of these factors contribute to inadequate levels of
glutathione in the body.
How does it work in the body?
The primary function of glutathione is to act as an antioxidant, defending cells against damage from free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons that can cause cellular damage, and oxidative stress resulting from their accumulation inside the body.
How does it benefit your body?
Glutathione protects your body and cells from oxidative stress, toxic metals, alcohol, and other forms of carcinogens. Studies suggest that maintaining optimal levels of glutathione may be linked to a lower incidence of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Through its antioxidant properties and ability to detoxify the body, glutathione can help to boost immunity, and reduce the risk of age-related conditions and diseases such as diabetes, liver disease, CVD, kidney disease, and Alzheimer’s. Studies have shown that glutathione stores in the body have a large impact on the progression and reduction of certain types of cancers.
Given its vital role in protecting cells from damage and supporting the immune response, ensuring an adequate supply of glutathione through a balanced lifestyle, nutrition, or supplementation can be a proactive measure in safeguarding against various diseases and fostering long-term health and longevity.
