What is Glutathione?

Most of the people when asked (mostly in Asian countries) if they know Glutathione, they always say its for the skin. It makes your skin clean, healthy and white. In other words, the general impression is its a whitening skin product or nutrients. Even myself wonders what really is glutathione? I searched in the internet and read a lot of glutathione blogs and articles and i found one that really explain what really glutathione is. So, I made this blog to share to everybody what really glutathione means and how it functions on our body? I am hoping that this blog would mend the impression of everybody that glutathione is not really a whitening product and skin product at all.

Here's a shared video for more information on Glutathione. Enjoy watching!

What really is Glutathione?

Simply put, glutathione (GSH) is the body's master antioxidant.

It is a small tri-peptide produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. There are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione. In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells. Various daily activities can reduce your glutathione such as stress, exercise, infection, injury and environmental toxins. Your glutathione, or in other words, your body's natural defense against aging and cellular damage decreases by about 10% to 15% every decade!*

Modern research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness . Decreased levels of glutathione can be brought about by continual stress upon the immune system. 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.*

Increasing age and other factors reduce the body's production and utilization of glutathione

Beginning around the age of 20 your body's natural production of this powerful little tri-peptide declines about 10 to 15 percent every decade. It is well understood in the medical and scientific community that intracellular glutathione levels cannot effectively be raised by oral glutathione supplementation because it is believed to be destroyed in the digestive system.

To reiterate:

     Glutathione slows down the aging process

     Glutathione detoxifies and improves liver function

     Glutathione strengthens the immune system

     Glutathione works to help improve mental functions

     Increases energy

     Improves concentration

     Permits increased exercise

     Glutathione improves heart and lung function...just to name a few

Upon learning the above, there are lots of Glutathione products that are being offered in the internet that claims it can increase glutathione levels in the body. However, none of them are successful. But MaxGXL is such a groundbreaking discovery under MAX International. MaxGXL is a food supplement specifically design to raised Glutathione levels within the body.
