Antioxidant Supports Lung, Liver, Gastric and Cerebral Health while Guarding Against DNA Damage

Glutathione is the king of all antioxidants.

It rules our body’s cells, for without it, they would be helpless during the fatal onslaught of free radicals.

Glutathione plays a prominent role in regulation of cellular events including gene expression, DNA and protein synthesis, cell proliferation and apoptosis (programmed cell death), and immune response.

Glutathione deficiency contributes to oxidative stress, which is involved in aging and the development of such diseases as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, HIV and AIDS, cancer, strokes—even H. pylori infections.1-2 Recently, an abundance of research has emerged on Glutathione’s role in health.
