What are the benefits?

There are various amazing benefits that glutathione can have on your body! Glutathione may;

1. Reduce oxidative stress
Oxidative stress is when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and your body’s ability to fight them off. If your oxidative stress levels are too
high, you are more susceptible to many diseases like diabetes, cancer, arthritis, autoimmune diseases and more.
By keeping your glutathione levels right, you will be able to control the impact of oxidative stress which can then reduce your susceptibility to disease.

2. Improve psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy patches on your body. Some smaller studies have shown that increased glutathione levels can reduce the effects of psoriasis. This benefit is still in the early stages of research though and more studies need to be conducted.

3. Reduce cell damage in fatty liver disease
The death of cells in your liver could be worsened by a deficiency in antioxidants including glutathione. This can make you more prone to fatty liver disease. Research has shown that glutathione can improve protein, enzyme and bilirubin levels in the blood of individuals with chronic fatty liver disease.

4. Improve insulin resistance in older individuals
As you get older, your glutathione levels begin to decrease. When your glutathione levels are low, you are more likely to store more fat. Studies have shown that increasing glutathione levels in the body can improve insulin resistance and fat burning.

5. Increase mobility for people with peripheral artery disease
Peripheral artery disease is a result of your peripheral arteries becoming clogged by plaque and it commonly occurs in your legs.
By increasing glutathione, you have a higher chance of increasing your circulation which will help you walk around pain-free for a longer amount of time.

6. Reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease can affect your body’s nervous system. There is currently no cure for Parkinson’s but studies have shown that when an individual is given glutathione intravenously, it has a positive effect on their tremors and rigidity.
More research is needed on this but various reports have shown that glutathione can assist those with Parkinson’s and offer them a better quality of life.

7. Reduce the impact of uncontrolled diabetes
Having long-term high blood sugar can be associated with lowered levels of glutathione in your body. By improving your glutathione levels you will lower your oxidative stress levels and begin to improve the symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes.

8. Improve respiratory disease symptoms
A medication known as N-acetylcysteine is commonly used to treat asthma and cystic fibrosis. This medication is a byproduct of glutathione which helps thin mucus that affects respiration.

Where can I find it?
Glutathione is found in some foods but cooking and pasteurisation can diminish its effectiveness significantly.
Its highest concentrations are found in:

  • raw or very rare meat
  • unpasteurized milk and other unpasteurised dairy products
  • freshly-picked fruits and vegetables, such as avocado and asparagus

Glutathione contains sulphur molecules, which means that foods that are high in sulphur can help to boost its natural production in your body. These foods include:

  • Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy
  • Garlic and onions
  • Eggs
  • Nuts
  • Legumes
  • Lean protein, such as fish, and chicken

Other foods and herbs that help to naturally boost glutathione levels include:

  • milk thistle
  • flaxseed
  • whey

Are there risks and side effects?
Naturally increasing your glutathione levels with nutrient-dense foods and getting enough sleep is perfect for anyone but taking supplements isn’t for everyone. Make sure you ask a health professional for advice before taking any supplements.

Some supplements can cause:

  • Abdominal cramps
  • Bloating
  • Allergic reactions, such as rash

Glutathione has a variety of benefits to your overall health and wellness but if you’re struggling to increase your glutathione levels naturally

Directions:

Take one to two capsules daily (on an empty stomach) or as recommended by your Healthcare Practitioner.
