gLutathione benifits

You will soon be hearing a great deal about Glutathione and your health. That's because Glutathione is quickly becoming the new 'household word' in health.
Glutathione acts as an antioxidant, an immune system booster and a detoxifier. Often called "the Master Antioxidant" because all other antioxidants - even Vitamins C and E - need Glutathione to function properly.

Glutathione is clearly a vital protein that your body already produces, but many factors can cause dangerously low levels in your body, and thus create a compromised immune system. Low Glutathione levels can lead to:

- Poor liver function
- Poor immune system function
- Adult respiratory distress syndrome
- Damage from toxic substances, including medications

In fact, clinical evidence is beginning to link low Glutathione levels with the most common illnesses of our time, including cancer.
Studies at the Louisville School of Medicine have clearly shown that Glutathione possesses the unique ability to slow the aging process. While Glutathione aids in the protection of all cells and membranes, a study at Harvard Medical School found that Glutathione is especially able to enhance immune system cells, protecting against damage from radiation and helping to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and x-rays and alcohol.
As a detoxifier of metals and drugs, Glutathione also aids in the treatment of blood and liver disorders.

While scientists have known for decades about the negative impact of low Glutathione levels on our health, it took a long time to develop a proven, effective way to raise levels in the body.
It's not as easy as taking a Glutathione pill. When ingested, the man-made version is lost in the digestive process and never reaches the cells of your body. The only way to raise your levels is to provide your body with what it needs to produce its own Glutathione.
The answer is Whey Protein, which contains the building blocks of Glutathione.
But not all whey protein is of the same quality. Since whey comes from milk, the antibiotics and steroids injected in cattle can contaminate whey products. Lactose and fat are also unhealthy components of milk.
After many years of vigorous research, it has been learned that a safe whey protein product must contain a complex ratio of amino acids and active ingredients in order to effectively help the body produce Glutathione. It must also be created in the most natural of environments and contain the least amount of lactose possible.
