Glutathione is a potent antioxidant made from amino acids glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is produced by the live and involved in many body processes. It is involved in tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body and in immune system function. People take glutathione for anti-aging properties, alcohol use disorder, fatty liver disease, heart disease and many other conditions.
Amino acids are ethe building blocks for proteins within the body, and unlike other antioxidants, glutathione is made in the liver.
Glutathione is responsible for:
• Making DNA, the building blocks of proteins and cells
• Supporting Immune function
• Forming sperm cells
• Breaking down some free radicals
• Helping certain enzyme’s function
• Regenerating vitamins C and E
• Transporting mercury out of the brain
• Helping the liver and gallbladder deal with fats
• Assisting regular cell death for cellular turnover (apoptosis)
Researchers have found links between low levels of glutathione and some diseases. It is possible to increase glutathione levels through oral or intravenous (IV) supplementation.
Benefits of glutathione
1. Antioxidant activity
Free radicals may contribute to aging and some diseases. Glutathione antioxidants help to counteract free radicals and protect the body from their damaging effects. Glutathione is a very strong antioxidant, particularly because high concentrations can be found in every cell of the body.
2. Preventing cancer progression
Some research shows that glutathione has a role in preventing the progression of cancer. However, the same research indicates that glutathione may make tumors less sensitive to chemotherapy, which is a common cancer treatment. Determining the effects of glutathione on cancer will require more research.
3. Reducing cell damage from liver disease
Hepatitis, alcohol abuse, and fatty liver disease all damage the cells of the liver. A small 2017 clinical trial concludes that glutathione could help treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease due to its antioxidant properties and potential to detoxify. The researchers note that larger studies are needed to confirm this effect.
4. Improving insulin sensitivity
Insulin resistance can result in the development of type 2 diabetes. The production of insulin causes the body to move glucose from the blood and into cells that use it for energy. A small 2018 study indicates that people with insulin resistance tend to have lower glutathione levels, particularly if they have experienced complications, such as neuropathy or retinopathy. A 2013 study reaches similar conclusions.
5. Reducing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
According to some research, there is evidence that maintaining glutathione levels may help with the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The findings appear to support injected glutathione as a potential therapy, but there is little evidence of oral supplementations. Further research is necessary to support its use.
6. Reducing ulcerative colitis
Like other inflammatory diseases, all sort of colitis has been linked to oxidative damage and stress. A 2003 animal study suggests that glutathione supplementations can improve some of the damage to the colon in rats. Determining the effects of glutathione on all sort of colitis will require more research in humans.
7. Treating autism spectrum disorder
There is some evidence that children with autism have lower levels of glutathione than neurotypical children, or those without autism.
Zativa Life offers IV administered glutathione and numerous other formulations. Why IV supplementation is often superior.
IV hydration therapy also makes it possible to administer higher doses of vitamins and minerals, unlike the oral route where large doses are not tolerated or absorbed optimally. Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals play key roles in health and in disease prevention. We require a daily dose of these nutrients as they cannot be stored in the body for a long time. While many rely on vitamin supplements and dietary sources, the nutrients in these forms are not absorbed completely. Many factors such as age, health condition, stress, gut health, body composition, interaction with other foods and medications can reduce the bioavailability of nutrients.
IV vitamin therapy is a method of infusing vital nutrients directly into the bloodstream to ensure maximum absorption and availability. Our IV vitamin solution contains a potent mix of minerals, vitamins and amino acids that are 100% available.
Our founder is an expert in IV therapy who has worked diligently to develop highly potent cocktails of nutrients, vitamins and amino acids that help restore your health, vitality and zest.
