If the immune system protects our body from diseases, what protects our immune system?
Answer: Glutathione
Who wouldn't like to get their hands on a naturally occurring substance that acts as an antioxidant, an immune system booster, and a detoxifier? Something that can help your body repair damage caused by stress, pollution, radiation, infection, drugs, poor diet, aging, injury, trauma, and burns?
A handful of researchers are saying the antioxidant glutathione can do all that and maybe more. But can you believe such sweeping claims? What's the evidence to back them up?
What is Glutathione
Glutathione (or GSH) is the body’s own Master Antioxidant discovered way back in 1889. However, it was only about 30 years ago that scientists began to understand its functions and discovered how to raise its levels.
Glutathione has been clinically researched and proven to optimize your immune system, maximize the function of antioxidants, support your detoxification process at the cellular level, increase your energy levels and increase your strength and endurance.
Glutathione is fundamental to our physical well-being and is the primary protector of our cells. It recycles and helps restore other anti-oxidants, earning it the title of Master Antioxidant. It is the first line of defense against our cells’ most violent attackers, namely free radicals, chemical toxins, radiation and heavy metals that enter our bodies through the environment and the foods and liquids we consume. As the subject of over 100,000 peer-reviewed studies cited in PubMed.com, the importance of glutathione cannot be understated.
Where can i get GSH?
GSH is already within you. It is part of every human cell, and has been protecting your cells and organs since you were born.
Unfortunately, our glutathione levels are depleted as we age. The older we get, the harder it is to maintain optimum glutathione levels. This means our cells don’t work as well and our overall health and wellness pay the price.
What happens if a person has low GSH?
People lack glutathione for a number of different reasons. This is called Glutathione Deficiency. Age is probably the most common way that people lose glutathione levels. When people are young and vibrant they have a lot of glutathione within their system. As they start to age they lose about 10% per decade after age 20. So, by the time a person is in their 70’s they will lose about 50% of their ability to produce glutathione.
People also lose glutathione due to lifestyle choices. People who consume a poor diet usually has glutathione deficiencies. When a person does not take in the right vitamins and minerals it impedes their glutathione production. Strenuous exercise, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, light pollution and environmental pollution are factors that lead to glutathione deficiency. Excessive smoking, drinking and doing drugs can all lead to this condition.
When a person’s body begins to lack glutathione it will create a number of different problems. Here is a brief list of some of the negative issues that a person’s body encounters when they no longer produce enough glutathione: Having glutathione deficiency can lead to several undesirable conditions in the body. Several effects of this deficiency include the following.
-
Weakened cell membranes
-
Inability for the immune system to repair DNA
-
Chances of reduced supply of nutrients and oxygen
to several cells in the body
-
The accumulation of heavy metals and extra toxins
in the body
-
An increase in oxidative stress
-
Toxins and heavy metals within the body will increase
-
Cells will begin to mutate
-
Cell membranes will become weaker
-
Less oxygen in the cell leads to early cell death

Glutathione a skin whitener?
Synthetic GSH has been marketed as a skin whitening product because GSH has antimelanogenic properties that lightens the skin.
Among the most popular GSH treatment is thru Intravenous, but there is no evidence to prove its efficacy. In fact, the adverse effects caused by intravenous glutathione have led the Food and Drug Administration of Philippines to issue a public warning condemning its use for off-label indications such as skin lightening.

Diseases associated with low GSH
Physicians dealing with chronic illness have observed that glutathione deficiency is found in nearly all very ill patients. This is true for people of all ages. An analysis related to glutathione in autism disorders shows that dysfunctional glutathione production play a role in these increasingly common problems. Children with autism are predisposed to low glutathione, and they cannot detoxify normally.
Glutathione deficiency is also associated with Parkinson's disease. Alcoholics have low glutathione levels, and so do people with Alzheimer's disease. Cigarette smoking is known to deplete glutathione. Glutathione is low in the brain of individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Other conditions associated with low glutathione include asthma, cancer, neuro-degenerative diseases, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), aging, cystic fibrosis, liver and heart disease, ischemia, stroke, seizure, sickle cell anemia and metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
How can we increase our glutathione levels?
You can naturally increase your glutathione levels by consuming foods that are rich with glutathione components. Foods like garlic, strawberries, squash, avocado, spinach, grapefruit, asparagus, peaches, melons and meats. However, if a person wants to improve their glutathione levels naturally they must consume these foods on a consistent basis.
Other methods include whey protein, administering an IV with glutathione solution, taking a special glutathione supplement, taking glutathione elements such as selenium and alpha lipoic acids and consuming foods rich in glutathione components. Components contained inside of glutathione includes amino acids, cysteine, glutamine and glycine.

What happens when i have low glutathione?Glutathione deficiency is common among people who are sick. First, you need to understand that GSH has a major role in keeping our cells healthy. If the cells are healthy, then our organs are healthy and ultimately our body. According to research, GSH deficiency can cause asthma, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, liver disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, neuro-degenerative disease, aging, ischemia, seizure and obesity among others. Diseases like autism, parkinson's and alzheimer's have also been associated with GSH deficiency.

I thought Glutathione is a skin whitener?Glutathione regenerates the cells in our body and removes oxidative stress, that includes our skin. One of the visible effects of GSH is a lighter skin complexion. However, synthetic GSH marketed today (specially IV drops) can cause adverse effects. This have led the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines to issue a public warning condemning its use for off-label indications such as skin lightening. source: https://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm460788.htm

If GSH is so important, why doesn't my doctor know about it?"Believe me they do! And they are aware that it is naturally produced by the body. Even though there are more than 120,000 citation of the benefits of glutathione, there are not much clinical studies done on an actual product. In addition, products available in the market are supplements much like your usual vitamins and minerals and are not drugs. The good news is, two of the most respected medical doctor/scientists Dr Robert Keller and Dr Herbert Nagasawa, found a way to increase GSH levels in our body thru the oral route. These patented, proprietary formula are now manufactured exclusively thru Max International.

Who is Dr Herbert NagasawaDr Herb Nagasawa was appointed Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Minnesota in 1959. He was named Principal Scientist of the VAMC in 1961 and was promoted in1976 to Senior Research Career Scientist, a nationwide VA title reserved for the VA’s top scientists. He also served for 32 years as a Senior Editor for the prestigious International Journal of Medicinal Chemistry from 1972 to 2004. Dr. Herbert T. Nagasawa is the inventor named on ten U.S. and PCT patent applications. At one time, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was the only supplement available to enhance the body’s supply of cysteine to enable the production of glutathione. However, Dr. Herbert T. Nagasawa was able to develop a revolutionary molecule known as RiboCeine that effectively delivers cysteine to the cell to support the natural production of glutathione--for which Max International was awarded a U.S. Patent.
