GLUTATHIONE: The Most Powerful Antioxidant in the body
At South Edmonton Naturopathic Clinic
Glutathione is administered which is one of the amino acids known to be the “Master Antioxidant” of the body. It is
responsible for the large percentage of body`s antioxidant capacity, but not
something we normally get much from our foods and oral supplementation and even
if we do, it is easily broken down by the liver and digestive process before we
can utilise it for it`s antioxidant actions!
Glutathione is essential in Liver Detoxification reactions (Cleanser), healthy
immune functions & Anti-inflammatory actions. Glutathione is normally
manufactured inside the body cells but when our capacity to produce enough of
it is impaired, liver`s detoxification process and body`s Immune functions decline
and then we suffer from numerous health issues from minor to serious infections.
The Powerful
Detoxifier: This can easily be guessed from the
fact that it is used in hospitals for patients with Tylenol (Acetaminophen)
overdose and we also use it to remove
many other toxins from our body that we get from foods, fish and atmosphere.
Immune
booster and Anti-inflammatory: Glutathione are good
for “Natural Killers” cells (Immune cells) which fight against bacterial and
viral infections and protect our body from these offenders. It`s antioxidant effects
protect the DNA damage from oxidants.
It is also good for brain functions by protecting brain from free oxidant
radicals by acting as “master antioxidant” of body. It is found that lower Glutathione levels make brain more vulnerable
to get neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson`s disease.
Diet and supplementation do not supplement enough
with Glutathione because most get degraded by the liver and only 20% gets absorbed.
Though exercise, dairy, Crucifer vegetables, onion and garlic may increase glutathione
activity.
Dr. Balwinder Badhan (South EdmontonNaturopath) delivers IV Glutathione and other nutrients (intravenously) using
aseptic, gentle and safe techniques 😊.
People
with low Glutathione levels are below:
Overstrained athletes
Diabetic, low glucose tolerance
Alcoholics and fatty liver
Elderly
Wasting diseases like HIV/Aids
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Gut issues like Inflammatory Bowel diseases
(Crohn`s and Ulcerative colitis)
Lung cancers and lung diseases
Injuries, trauma and sepsis
And
it is found that improving their glutathione levels have shown beneficial
effects! :)
The best way to get enough Glutathione is through Intravenous route by
bypassing its liver breakdown and hence used in lots of conditions as
below:
·
Skin conditions/Acne/ /Blemishes/pigmentation/wrinkles/scars
·
Skin lightening/brightening/glowing/toning
·
Healthier, thicker hair and anti-aging effects.
·
Liver Cleanse/Detoxification/Removing Environmental toxins/chemicals
·
Digestive issues (Irritable Bowel
Syndrome, Crohn`s, Ulcerative Colitis etc.)
·
Respiratory issues/Cough/Shortness
of breath/chest pain….
·
Autoimmune disorders (Crohn`s
Disease/Ulcerative Colitis, Multiple Sclerosis…)
·
Headaches/Migraine…
·
Chronic Fatigue/Tiredness/Low Energy/Fibromyalgia
·
Mental/emotional issues like Moods/Stress/Anxiety/Depression
·
Sleep Issues
·
Cancers
·
Bacterial and Viral Infections/Low
Immune
·
Geriatric Health like Parkinson’s
disease and other conditions
Generally, twice daily IV Glutathione for 5 weeks shows good
effects on skin and then maintenance dose usually required once to twice a
month for the ongoing effects and detoxification. Effects vary from one to
another and depends upon the way one`s body handles glutathione, level of
toxins, kind of diet, alcohol intake, sleep quality, stress levels and smoking habits.
