Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant… the commander of the immune system. It is a strong, effective, and excellent defense against aging. It acts as the leader of the army that collects the oxidative waste products called free radicals in our bodies, and it is the strongest. If the commander’s power weakens, we become sick and age.
Every day, at every moment, millions of these molecules called free radicals, which are natural “waste products,” are produced in our bodies. In a year, the amount of free radicals produced can even reach several kilograms.
These structures are highly harmful as they damage and deteriorate the structure of wherever they touch and adhere to, paving the way for chronic diseases and disrupting the enjoyment of aging. Glutathione, the master of antioxidants, hunts down harmful free radicals one by one.
Glutathione is not limited to being just a free radical scavenger; it is also an excellent master of detoxification. When it comes to getting rid of toxins, it is again at the forefront.
The liver is our largest detox organ. Glutathione is the most important player and master in the detox processes of the liver. It cleanses the body of heavy metals and chemicals that can accumulate. When it comes to eliminating neurotoxic mercury or carcinogenic substances like arsenic, cadmium, and copper, or getting rid of chemical residues in fruits and vegetables, or detoxifying hormones or antibiotics in meat and dairy products, glutathione comes into play. It also cleanses the toxic substances and free radicals in cigarette smoke.
Cigarette smoke produces an incredible amount of free radicals. There are over a thousand free radicals in a single puff of smoke. Unfortunately, this also applies to passive smokers, those who are exposed to second-hand smoke. This is where glutathione comes into play and demonstrates its antioxidant power.
Glutathione also enhances muscle strength and efficiency, providing power, strength, and high work performance. After glutathione injections, there is a tremendous increase in dynamism. Glutathione also gives us additional energy and plays a significant role in energy production. Mitochondria, the energy stations of the body, have more mitochondria in cells that require more energy. Each hardworking cardiac muscle cell has almost 5,000 mitochondria. As the number of mitochondria increases, so does glutathione production and utilization. The body experiences a sort of energy explosion.
A strong antioxidant defense system, effective detox power, a secure “anti-cancer” barrier structure, energy, robust muscles, a healthy heart, lungs, and fewer allergic problems are all outcomes of glutathione. In short, glutathione is necessary not just for health and well-being but also for graceful aging.
However, environmental factors, smoking, menopause, aging, poor sleep, lack of exercise, and poor nutrition rapidly deplete glutathione levels and accelerate the aging process. Therefore, if you say, “I don’t want to age, I want to grow old gracefully,” then support your glutathione levels.
