Glutathione Fact 3

Increasing Age and Other Factors Reduce the Body’s Production and Utilization of GSH.

Research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness.

Research shows that GSH levels decline by 8% to 12% per decade, beginning at the age of 20.

Levels of glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and environmental toxins. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle.

While you need glutathione for a productive immune system , a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.
