Glutathione, a strong anti-oxidant is vital for our healthy being. It is not well absorbed in our body when taken orally, due to several reasons and we get depleted of its benefits.

Liposomal supplements use intracellular absorption technology through which the glutathione gets directly absorbed in our target cells. Liposomal vitamins too get directly absorbed in the cells and provide us with maximum benefits.

Listed below are the importance of the much needed anti-oxidant, glutathione.

* In numerous medical studies it has been discovered when people are ill their levels of glutathione are reduced. This has been observed in severe illnesses like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. This same phenomenon is seen when people are battling colds, flu, and other common illnesses.

* By maintaining high levels of glutathione production your body is able to maintain strong cells and powerful immune system. The ability of bacteria and virus to infect your body is greatly reduced. Interestingly these effects are found in aging related diseases, also. As one example, our brains can be severely affected ...
... by the effects of free radicals and certain fats. Glutathione has been demonstrated to reduce the effects of both of these mind damaging elements. Many people have reported increases in mental clarity after restoring glutathione levels to normal or optimal levels. Research is currently underway and positive results are being seen in battling Alzheimer’s disease.

* Raised glutathione levels help increase strength and endurance. Those interested in physical fitness can benefit from a definite athletic edge.

* Many antioxidants work for 1 thing, 2 things, or 3 things. Glutathione works for everything.

* There is very good data in the literature to say that too much oxidant or not enough antioxidants are really responsible for accelerated aging.

* As I did more research, it became clear that glutathione is virtually a ubiquitous antioxidant.

* Glutathione is the unsung antioxidant…the one that makes all the others work.

* When your Glutathione level is high, your overall health is high. You feel good and you look good. You fight off minor illnesses quickly, you have plenty of energy, and you feel mentally and physically alert... you’re at an optimal level of good health.

* Without glutathione, other important antioxidants such as vitamins C and E cannot do their job adequately to protect your body against disease.

* Glutathione promotes longevity, protects the body against heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, and boosts the immune system strength and is useful fighting autoimmune diseases and other health problems of older adults.

* It is well known that aging is accompanied by a precipitous fall in glutathione levels. Lower glutathione levels are implicated in many diseases associated with aging, including cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, atherosclerosis and others.

* Low glutathione levels have been associated with neuro-degenerative diseases such as MS (Multiple Sclerosis), ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, among others.

* Glutathione plays a role in eliminating many carcinogens and also maintains an optimized immune function, providing stronger anti-tumor defenses.

* The liver is the major storehouse for glutathione. Glutathione is impaired in alcoholic hepatitis as well as in viral hepatitis A, B, and C. Raised glutathione levels restore liver function.

* Glutathione protects the body from the inflammation of gastritis, stomach ulcers, pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

* Glutathione detoxifies a variety of pollutants, carcinogens and poisons, including many found in fuel exhaust and cigarette smoke. It also retards damage from radiation exposure due to the eroding ozone layer.

* Strong muscular activity, such as that experienced by athletes, generates free radicals leading to muscle fatigue and poorer performance. Glutathione neutralizes these radicals.

* Lymphocytes, cells vital for your immune system, depend on glutathione for their proper function and replication.
