Glutathione
Glutathione consists of 3
amino acids: glutamate, glycine and cysteine.
This amino acid combination is a potent
antioxidant.
Studies have prompted researchers to consider
glutathione as one of the most powerful
anticarcinogen in the body.
Benefits
Has been successfully used as a treatment
of allergies, arthritis, cataracts, diabetes,
and hypoglycemia. Another benefit of glutathione
is its ability to prevent the harmful side
effects of high-dose radiation therapy and
chemotherapy. Yet another benefit is it
can protect our bodies from toxins found
in tobacco smoke and alcohol.
Our cells can manufacture glutathione from
the components which are found in fruits,
vegetable and raw meat. (However, eating
raw meat is definitely not recommended by
nutrition-info.com).
Phenolic acids (or phenols) promote the
production of glutathione. Phenolic acids
are found in citrus fruits, flaxseed, garlic,
green tea, and soybean.
