Master Antioxidant

Despite the fact that you live in an unhealthy world, surrounded by unhealthy temptations, distractions and challenges, in one day you may…

Drive past McDonalds even when every animal instict is screaming for french fries.
Tell one of your kids you're not hungry (even though you are starving) when they wave a big spoonful of cookie dough ice cream in your face and offer to share.
Make a special trip to the whole foods store on the other side of town just to pick up and pay a hefty sum for organic, montmorency cherries because you heard how high in antioxidants they were.

Because:
Because you want to feel better!
You want more energy!
You want your clothes to fit again!
And, most importantly, you want to be healthy

So, in case you haven't met, let me introduce you to the "Master".The master antioxidant that is.

It is known as Glutathione or GSH.
Why is glutathione called the master antioxidant?

To put it simply, glutathione replenishes the action of many other antioxidants. In other words, glutathione makes those montmorency cherries go even farther as an antioxidants, enhancing the well documented and undeniable benefits of antioxidants.

For the scientific types, here is a brief explanation offered by Dr. Jimmy Gutman, a noted glutathione expert. He says,

"When vitamin C and E pick up an oxyradical they must hand it off to the GSH (glutathione) system so they are free to go back and get others. GSH similarly neutralizes peroxide and lipoic acid. In fact, all of the antioxidants help to neutralize each other and glutathione is at the center of cellular antioxidation. It is GSH -not the vitamin- that ultimately neutralizes the radical."
Perhaps, to make the point clear, you need an analogy.

Think of the activity in your body as a bustling metropolis with lots of people. Like dangerous free radicals, some of those people prowl around seeking to do harm. Fortunately, most cities have some form of Law Enforcement which, in most cases, finds and captures these less than desirables, much like your immune system which uses (among many other things) antioxidants to seek, finds and capture free radicals.

In this analogy, glutathione is like the patty wagon which then whisks the criminals away and, unlike our democratic society, makes that criminal disappear forever.

As a result, every extra "healthy" act you exert yourself to make each day is enhanced when you have optimal levels of naturally occurring glutathione in your cells.

Each supplement you take, each vitamin, each mineral, each antioxidants rich fruit and vegetable is assisted by the free radical neutralizing power of glutathione.
