Glutathione: a powerful natural antioxidant

 

Glutathione, also known as GHS, is a natural antioxidant produced by the liver that performs a very important function for the well-being of the organism.

From a chemical point of view it is a natural tripeptide composed of three amino acids: glycine, cysteine and glutamate. It is precisely this particular chemical composition that allows it to protect the body from free radicals.

Glutathione is also found in many types of fruits and vegetables, such as:

1.Avocados

2.Asparagus (which are very rich in it)

3.Bananas

4.Broccoli

5.Carrots

6.Green beans

7.Peppers

8.Mushrooms

9.Potatoes

10.Spinach

Among the various processes in which the GHS takes part there are: the production and repair of tissues, the protection of hepatocytes in the liver, the synthesis of proteins and other molecules and the strengthening of the immune system.

Glutathione can also be supplemented orally, inhaled or intravenously to treat or soothe many ailments, the main ones being the following:

1.Diabetes

2.Anemia associated with dialysis

3.Atherosclerosis

4.Parkinson's

5.Male infertility

6.Lung diseases

7.Loss of hearing

8.AIDS

9.Osteoarthritis

10.Chronic fatigue

Clinical studies have also shown that glutathione is able to protect the liver and kidneys from the action of toxic substances such as smoke, alcohol, medicines, heavy metals and from the side effects of chemotherapy.

Finally, we remind you that, although no side effects or interactions with drugs have been found, it is advisable to always take glutathione-based supplements under a doctor's prescription.
