GLUTATHIONE FOR
GREAT HEALTH
Carolina Gonzalez health expert from The Nature of
Balance shares the importance of glutathione for
optimum health.
What is Glutathione?
Simply put, glutathione (GSH) is the
body’s master antioxidant. It is a small
protein produced naturally in our cells
when certain required elements are
present. It functions both as an
antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a
major defense system against illness and
ageing.
Our glutathione level actually indicates
our state of health and can predict
longevity. There are more than 60,000
published papers on the beneficial
effects of glutathione. In the near future
the importance of glutathione will be
widely recognised because it has the
ability to boost the immune system and
fight off the damage of free radicals on
the cells. Various daily activities can
reduce your glutathione such as stress,
exercise,
infection,
injury
and
environmental toxins. Your glutathione,
or in other words, your body’s natural
defense against aging and cellular
damage decreases by about 10% to 15%
every decade!*

Modern research has shown that
individuals who have low levels of
glutathione are susceptible to chronic
illness. Decreased levels of glutathione
can be brought about by continual stress
upon the immune system. As we now
know, a lowered immune system can
bring about illness and disease. This is a
ferocious cycle. While you need
glutathione for a productive immune
system, a weakened immune system
hampers the production of glutathione.*
Increasing age and other factors
reduce the body’s production and use of
glutathione
Beginning around the age of 20 your
body’s natural production of this powerful
little protein declines about 10 to 15
percent every decade. It is well
understood in the medical and scientific
community that intracellular glutathione
levels cannot effectively be raised by oral
glutathione supplementation because it
is believed to be destroyed in the digestive
system; which is why MaxGXL® is such a
groundbreaking discovery.
