Why I Don’t Take Glutathione Supplements

April 1st, 2011 by Angela

If you’ve been spending much time lately researching where to find antioxidant supplements and how much to spend I can’t state that I blame you.   As the Yuppies continue to resist ageing – like we’ve resisted everything else up until now – the benefits that antioxidants offer are just too good to resist.  But what do you do when the # 1 antioxidant- Glutathione- doesn’t exist as a truly viable oral supplement?

Tell Me About Glutathione .

Glutathione is a water soluable antioxidant that your body makes . Technically, it’s a compound of the amino acids cysteine, glycine and glutamine or glutamic acid and found in each cell of our body. That means it’s immediately accessible where it will be needed – one of glutathiones many special attributes.  But Glutathione is really a great deal more than that.  

It’s called   the Master Antioxidant and if it wasn’t there , superior known but lesser antioxidants, such as Vitamins C and E which are the most abundant fat and water soluble antioxidants we have will not function to their maximum potential . In addition to that , Glutathione helps in the repair of DNA, supports the immune system and the elimination of toxins from water and air pollution, along with many carcinogens and cigarette smoke . You liver adores glutathione.

Adding to your serum levels of Glutathione is a smart thing to do .  Studies have quite clearly shown that some of the most infamous conditions connected to aging , like Osteoporosis, Type II Diabetes and High Blood Pressure are easily accompanied with a decline in Glutathione levels.

As we depart our twenties (and really begin to need it !) our body doesn’t produce as much Glutathione. This is the reason why many caring and health conscious people are buying   glutathione supplements.  But a supplement is not likely to produce the desired result .  

The problem is that for Glutathione to be absorbed into the bloodstream and be distributed to the cells in our systems , it has to pass through our gastro intestinal system. But as an oral supplement , it’s destroyed.

But there are effective choices  accessible if you opt to raise your level of glutathione and one thing you can charge is your food choices .  You can consume 4-5 servings a day of the correct vegetables and fruits like asparagus, spinach, broccoli and avocado . Healthy food choices will help wage your body with more of whatit needs to make its own glutathione.  Other natural sources of the raw materials to help accelerate your Glutathione production include Milk Thistle, Whey Protein, Selenium and Turmeric.

Another choice accessible is to supplement with glutathione precursors, which are one-of-a-kind compounds that contain the supplies your body uses in order to boost its own natural production and over come one of the downsides of aging. MAX GXL from Max International is one product you could try.
