GLUTATHIONE (GSH)

You may or may not have heard of `glutathione.' However, researchers and scientists continue to discover the importance of this substance in health and disease and in the next few years its name will become as well known as terms like 'cholesterol' or 'vitamin.' Your life depends on glutathione. Without it, your liver would shrivel up and die from the overwhelming accumulation of toxins, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidative stress and, as if you needed more problems, your body would have little resistance to bacteria, viruses or cancers. So many protective systems of the body, including its use of vitamins C and E, depend heavily upon this remarkable molecule.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GLUTATHIONE

Glutathione's importance to your health cannot be overstated. Your im-mune system is constantly on the prowl for pathogens—agents of cellular damage, toxicity and disease. To neutralize them the body needs a ready supply of glutathione. If it doesn't have enough, some of the invaders will get through, infecting the body and/or contributing to aging, long-term accumulative damage—even eventual cancer. We can't avoid illness and aging altogether—though a few scientists are pursuing the age-old dream of immortality—but by keeping our intracellular glutathione levels up we also keep our immune system on the ball and fully armed. GSH is fundamental to the immune response.

In the last twenty years the volume of research into GSH has grown im-mensely. A huge variety of theoretical papers, bench-top laboratory experi-ments, epidemiological studies, animal projects and—most importantly—clinical trials on humans, has linked glutathione to an extraordinary variety of illnesses. The list is long and would be hard to believe were it not for the strength and credibility of the research. However, it is now clear that glutathione's role in the immune response, detoxification and antioxidation is pivotal. Without it, many bodily processes would fail.
