What is Glutathione?
Glutathione of 3 different amino acids; Glutamic Acid is a very powerful antioxidant consisting of a combination of Glycine and Cysteine. With this feature, it protects our body from harmful substances by removing heavy metals, toxic substances, reactive oxygen molecules and free radicals from the body.
The production of glutathione, a molecule that is naturally produced in the whole body and acts intensely in the liver and brain cells, decreases over time due to aging, malnutrition, alcohol consumption, various drugs and toxic substances.
For this reason, it must be taken from outside.
What Does Glutathione Therapy Do?
Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, protects all our tissues, especially the brain, from the damage of free radicals, in addition to its anti-aging effect.
It has a high detoxification effect on the whole body.
It neutralizes carcinogenic and toxic substances and ensures their excretion from the body.
It plays an important role in the production of DNA and protein.
Glutathione does not have any side effects, on the contrary, it provides support to the body.
The general benefits of glutathione treatment can be listed as follows;
1- Glutathione Reduces oxidative stress:
Glutathione reduces reactive oxygen (radicals) species in the body. These radicals are substances that can cause DNA damage. In fact, reactive oxygen radicals are the main factors in many issues such as cancer, inflammation (autoimmune diseases), and brain damage in the body. Glutathione is not the only antioxidant in the body, and vitamins such as E and C also contribute to antioxidant effects together with glutathione.
2- Glutathione Reduces Inflammation:
Inflammation is called non-microbial inflammation. Inflammation is one of the main causes of many autoimmune diseases in our body. Studies have shown that inflammation is much more severe in mice with low glutathione levels.
3- Glutathione Delays Aging:
Again, free radicals are one of the main factors of aging, and glutathione, which reduces free radicals that age and damage cells, is thought to slow down aging indirectly.
4- Effects of Glutathione on Anxiety, Depression and Stress:
Studies have shown that people with depression have significantly less glutathione levels. In animal experiments, glutathione has been shown to significantly reduce depression and anxiety in stressed animals. In addition, significant improvements in symptoms were observed in patients with schizophrenia using NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), which increases glutathione levels.
5- Effects of Glutathione on Autism and Hyperactivity:
It has been determined that the glutathione levels are 20-40% lower in children diagnosed with autism compared to children without autism. In addition, children with hyperactivity and attention deficit showed low glutathione levels, in addition to high oxidative stress levels. You should consult your physician before using glutathione supplements in children.
6- Protection of Glutathione and Brain Cells:
The brain is the body's most energy-consuming organ. While consuming this energy, it creates a high amount of reactive oxygen molecules.
The causes of Alzheimer's disease are partially found in oxidative stress. Antioxidants are thought to be able to prevent and slow the disease. Several clinical studies have shown that Vitamin E slows the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
In mice with Alzheimer's disease, glutathione has been shown to improve memory, reduce plaque formation, and improve overall symptoms.
In Parkinson's disease, however, glutathione may theoretically help slow the disease by reducing the oxidative stress that damages dopamine neurons.
7- Glutathione and Fighting Infection:
It has been observed that people with high glutathione levels in fighting viral infections (e.g. Covid-19) survive the disease more easily.
In addition, it is known in many studies that glutathione significantly strengthens the immune level. For example, in a study conducted in elderly AHIV (+) patients, it was observed that those with high glutathione levels had significantly less infections.
High glutathione levels reduce the amount of bacteria and viruses.
In short, glutathione is essential for the immune system.
8- Glutathione and Intestinal Health:
A significant decrease in the enzyme that provides glutathione synthesis and a low level of cysteine amino acids were determined in IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) patients.
In IBS, the exact mechanism of which is unknown, increased glutathione levels have revealed a significant reduction in symptoms.
These people should also consume foods containing Selenium in abundance.
Consumption of sufficient glutathione, cysteine and selenium significantly strengthens the intestinal wall.
9- Glutathione and Heart Health:
Low glutathione levels are also linked to the possibility of a heart attack. Reduce glutathione free radicals
