Do you want to be healthy and prevent disease? If you are serious about your health you must have adequate levels off Glutathione on a daily basis, and your body has to have the nutrients it need to manufacture it daily in your liver cells. Glutathione is involved in building, repair, making proteins and building the immune system. Just think about how critical this compound is to your life and it is never measured in the traditional medical model.
Amazingly glutathione is found in fruits, vegetables and meats! Glutathione can be give as an injection into the muscle as well if your provider carries it in the office. I have seen it used to prevent the side effects of cancer treatment. It has been used for treating alcoholism, asthma, heart disease and even infertility. Most people simply get a daily feeling of energy and good health when levels are adequate. It is worth repeating the fact that Glutathione is critical for your immune system to work well and when the levels fall your immune system becomes compromised. One way to assist your body to raise the glutathione levels is to supplement daily with a nutrient called NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine) which is a derivative of the dietary amino acid l-cysteine. NAC has a high affinity for lung tissue, which it supports through mucolytic and antioxidant action. By disrupting di-sulfide bonds, NAC thins out mucus and is a powerful free radical scavenger and thus supports the body's natural defense system. Immune And Respiratory System Health: When mucus thickens, it can become difficult to expel. A recent meta-analysis of 8 double blind, placebo controlled trials provided additional lsupport for NAC's ability to support respiratory tract health! Due to its sulfur content, NAC is able to disrupt di-sulfide bonds, thinning the mucus so that it, along with the trapped particles and bacteria, are more easily expelled from the lungs. NAC is a powerful free radical scavenger and thus supports epithelial cell health and healthy cilia activity in the respiratory tract. Glutathione is a combination of three amino acids − cysteine, glycine, and glutamine − and it is produced naturally in the body. NAC is a building block for Glutathione because NAC has Cysteine that survives the digestive tract and gets into the cells thus increasing your glutathione levels. It is called “the master antioxidant” because it can regenerate itself in the liver and fight free radicals produced from environmental toxins or toxic food metabolism. Glutathione is critical for the Mitochondria. Damaged or malfunctioning mitochondria are part of the cancer process, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease, autism, heart disease, chronic fatigue and autoimmune diseases. For those of you who have access to organic raw milk from local farmers or its sold in your state then you have a nice supply of daily cysteine! Cow's milk once pasteurized or heated breaks down the bonded cysteine molecules and cysteine then is essentially useless for building intracellular Glutathione. Human breast milk has loads of bonded cysteine and is why God created the breast milk miracle as a "stand-in immune system" for our babies. L-cysteine (synthetic) is made using chemicals. Cysteine is not really good to take isolated as a dietary supplement because it can promote hypercysteinemia and can be potentially toxic. Its absorption into the blood stream is limited and it is easily oxidized in the digestive tract. It does get used in baking dough, commercial breads and pastry products and also in pet food for flavor. FDA does not require L-cysteine to be listed on food labels as flavor so this may be why some people get gut issues when they eat bread products. I feel that NAC is a much safer way to consume cysteine and raise the Glutathione levels in your body. NAC has been used in HIV patients with severely low levels of glutathione, and in emergency departments to treat over-dose of Tylenol. It has been used for chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, emphysema and asthma just to name a few lung disorders. So how else can you raise Glutathione levels? I am a fan of IV Glutathione and have seen it work well with Parkinsons patients. I am also a fan of getting glutathione markers measured in your urine by having an Organic Acid Panel done. You can measure your amino acids as well. You can take Liposomal Glutathione orally but you have to make sure you are getting the "real" patented liposomal delivery technology. You can also take undenatured whey protein concentrates which has excellent bioavailability. Here is my supplement and lab store web address Click here https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/drcarly Certain foods contain precursors that help the liver produce more glutathione such as garlic, onions, broccoli, kale, collards, cabbage, cauliflower, watercress, whey products and colostrum. Some studies have reported EXERCISE will boost glutathione levels. B6 and B12 are critical to help the body produce glutathione as well as vitamin C, E and selenium. So there you have it! Raising your glutathione levels is a major preventative healthcare strategy!
