Glutathione is our body’s number one antioxidant.

Antioxidants help to fight off viruses and infection and immobilize toxins, thus reducing our body’s stress load. Glutathione is present in all our cells, and produced abundantly in the liver. It boosts the immune system, is an anti-aging agent, counteracts all manner of toxins, and improves overall functioning both physical and mental.

I especially recommend considering glutathione supplementation if you get sick often, if you are detoxing, if your immune system is weak, if you’re under a lot of stress, if your diet is poor, if you are taking chemotherapy, or if you have low glutathione levels. Please check with your doctor to see if it’s safe for you, especially if you are taking medication.

Many chronic diseases are associated with glutathione deficiency; the most common being AIDS (HIV), Alzheimer’s disease, Arthritis, Asthma, Autism, Cancer, Chronic infection, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Kidney Problems, and Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Mark Hyman. M.D., reminds us that our body’s glutathione production has not kept pace with the onslaught of tens of thousands of industrial chemicals we’ve introduced to the environment, chemicals that find their way into our bodies and wreak havoc. Dr. Hyman says that many of us lack the necessary genes needed to produce the enzyme that recycles glutathione (there is a test for this). So, some are genetically ill-equipped from the get-go, as well as deficient, due to our evolutionary low-level glutathione production relative to our modern toxic environmental load.

Not only are we behind the times genetically (or, better, in industrial overshoot), but with increased age, our bodies produce less glutathione. Endogenous (i.e., produced inside our bodies) glutathione production also drops due to negative stress, illness, and trauma. So, supplementation during such times can be very helpful.

Ways to increase glutathione level include:

1) Exercise: exercise boosts glutathione levels

2) Consuming sulfur-rich foods: The main ones are garlic, onions and the cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, collard greens, cabbage, cauliflower, and watercress, for example)

3) Supplementing with milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, vitamins C, E, and vitamins B6 and B12.
