Endogenous Glutathione
Awaken the superpowers within you
You think we’re exaggerating? Well then, prick up your ears and open your eyes! Because once the liver starts producing endogenous glutathione, a true “Mexican wave” sweeps through the body. After all, it is an antioxidant produced by the body itself, which is also known as the “master antioxidant” for good reason and is found in almost all human cells. Existing free radicals and peroxides, which can cause damage to human cell structures, had better watch out. In other words, it can help with oxidative stress, the body’s own detoxification, or anti-aging.
Smart Body
The great thing about our body is that it is designed so cleverly that, as a rule, it usually somehow knows how to help itself. Whether it’s self-healing powers, the immune system, or the body’s own glutathione production, our organism usually has an intelligent survival strategy up its sleeve. The problem, however, is that our own actions and our modern lifestyle often stand in diametric opposition to this and render the body processes refined over thousands of years absurd.
In the case of the body’s own glutathione production, this can be seen wonderfully. Endogenous glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is primarily formed in the liver from the three amino acids glutamine, glycine, and cysteine and ensures that:
1. The body is supported in detoxification
2. The cells and DNA are protected
3. Oxygen is transported in the body
4. More cysteine can be formed
A great many people suffer from a glutathione deficiency without knowing it. The common consequence is that you may tire more quickly, feel unwell, be more susceptible to infections, and very often have a weakened immune system. People who eat a one-sided and unhealthy diet, have a lot of stress, or even smoke are likely to be particularly often affected by low glutathione levels!
Investigating the Causes
But there are also natural factors, because from the age of 45 onward, glutathione status gradually declines on its own and experiences another sharp loss from the age of 60 onward. From these points in time, the liver and cells simply produce less of the precious antioxidant. Incidentally, this can be observed very clearly from the outside through the aging process. Because what happens when fewer antioxidants are active in the body? Exactly: free radicals can act more strongly and as they please, and there is less to counteract so-called oxidative stress. Pale, wrinkled skin is only one visible sign; the health effects are, of course, far worse.
Unfortunately, through our modern lifestyle, we additionally intensify this effect—regardless of age. The consumption of alcohol, nicotine, medications, stress, heavily treated and industrially processed foods, psychological and physical strain, and of course the constant presence of smartphones & co. all contribute to our body being exposed to extreme stress.
The resulting oxidative stress must in turn be managed by the body, and so it is no wonder that, under extremely high levels of strain, serious and chronic diseases such as diabetes or respiratory diseases can develop.
Kick-start production!
To prevent things from getting that far in the first place, you can counteract it with relatively simple means and intelligently tap into the wow factor of the body’s own glutathione production. Of course, first and foremost, you should seriously rethink your lifestyle and reduce harmful influences. However, some factors cannot be switched off so easily—whether it’s the technical devices that constantly surround us or the many negative news stories that stress us out and create anxiety. The extra push of endogenous glutathione can support you as follows:
- Support for the immune system
By activating T lymphocytes and supporting white blood cells, which in turn actively participate in defending against pathogens. - Support for the body’s own detoxification
Non-excretable substances such as foreign synthetic compounds like pesticides or medicines are bound and made water-soluble. - Modulation of inflammatory reactions
The production of pro-inflammatory substances such as cytokines can be reduced by endogenous glutathione. Really good news at this point, because chronic inflammation is often the cause of many serious diseases! - Positive influence on the lungs
One of the most important protective mechanisms of the human lung is in fact endogenous glutathione!
It is not without reason that inflammatory lung diseases are characterized by chronic inflammation and an imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants. - Positive influence on the aging process
A Danish study showed that 100-year-old participants who were in better health had significantly higher glutathione levels than the comparison group of younger individuals. - Radiant skin and anti-aging
A 12-week double-blind study with randomized procedures showed that as little as 250 mg of glutathione per day led to greater skin elasticity in the participants. In addition, it was found that wrinkle depth also decreased compared with the placebo study group.
Pretty super, right? If you’re now wondering how you can awaken these superpowers within you, we can give you a tip. Our SulfoCLEAN® can support you in building normal homocysteine and glutathione metabolism. The biologically active B vitamins (B12, B6, and folate) enhance the daily diet, and the organic sulfur it contains (MSM and wild garlic) provides important thiols for detoxification metabolism. In addition to boosting immune and cellular energy, tiredness and fatigue can thus be reduced.
beautiful!
