Glutathione (GSH) AKA your body’s master antioxidant helps overcome free radicals and oxidative stress in your body! Otherwise, rampant free radicals and chronic oxidative stress would cause damage to your cells and DNA.
This then leads to a range of diseases such as various cancer, neuro degenerative diseases, etc. Besides neutralising free radicals, GSH is also vital for the regeneration of other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E.
Glutathione is anti inflammatory. It inhibits the production of most inflammatory cytokines in your body. GSH deficiency could lead to chronic inflammation.
It works by inhibiting NF-κB, a transcription factor that increases the transcription of various inflammatory genes.
Excessive free radicals and chronic oxidative stress can harm your body and cause premature ageing. Having optimal glutathione levels can slow your body’s ageing process.
Did you know: Imbalances in Glutathione levels would also affect your immune system function and are thought to play a role in your ageing process.
As you age, your body’s production of Glutathione also drops, further hastening the ageing process. By maintaining your GSH levels, you can prevent age-related cognitive decline.
Did you know: The cells in your brain consume about 20% of oxygen utilised by your body while it only makes up 2% of your body weight.
And because free radicals are continuously generated during oxidative metabolism, your brain is constantly bombarded with free radicals which needs to be overcome. Glutathione plays a key role in the detoxification of free radicals in your brain.
Neuro degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are caused in part by oxidative stress overload in you nervous system. Optimising you body’s level of glutathione would help to overcome free radicals and prevent excessive oxidative stress, and thus preventing neuro degenerative diseases.
In many diseases (like AIDS, cystic fibrosis, influenza, etc), lowered immunity and increased risk of infections correlate to low Glutathione levels.
Glutathione is vital to keep your immune system running optimally and to enhance anti-infection activity of your immune cells.
Did you know: Children diagnosed with Autism have 20-40 % lower levels of Glutathione than normal levels.
There are also abnormalities in the Glutathione production pathway for children diagnosed with autism. For further information on Glutathione and Autism, please click HERE.

Glutathione is a major factor in the regulation of life, proliferation, and death of cancer cells. Glutathione deficiency leads to an increased damage from oxidative stress involved in cancer and it’s progression.
Glutathione also plays a key role in repairing damage done by cancer drugs on your cells in chemotherapy patients. Glutathione is crucial in the removal and detoxification of carcinogens.

Low levels of systemic and cardiac Glutathione, is linked with an increased risk of heart attack.
Did you know: Cardiovascular diseases are largely caused by oxidative stress and inflammation in heart tissues
Therefore this explains why insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes (i.e. three conditions that cause oxidative stress) are linked to heart attacks. To find out more about the REAL cause behind heart diseases, please click HERE.
Glutathione can help in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation and, in turn, limit the risk of stroke or heart attack.
Diabetes and high blood sugar causes your body’s level of Glutathione to drop.
Free radical accumulation is the cause behind many of the complications associated with diabetes, such as cardiovascular problems and neuro-degeneration.
By elevating your body’s level of Glutathione, you can effectively limit or prevent these complications. For further information on Glutathione, Immunocal and diabetes, please click HERE.
Both kidney failures and liver diseases are caused by oxidative stress. Glutathione can keep both your kidney and liver healthy by keeping oxidative stress under control.
Besides that, Glutathione also plays an important role in your liver’s detoxification process. So much so that it can help prevent fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer!
Chronic alcohol use causes oxidative stress and reduces your liver’s levels of Glutathione. This is because your body’s supply of Glutathione is used up to overcome the additional free radicals and for detoxification.
Glutathione can help reduce blood alcohol, acetaldehyde and hepatic triglyceride levels.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) results from long-term oxidative damage to lung tissue. This damage then causes inflammation of the lung tissue, which then results in shortness of breath and coughing.
By keeping your body’s glutathione level high, this decreases the oxidative damage and tissue damage within your lungs, thereby reducing your risk of developing COPD.
Studies have shown that antioxidant mechanisms can be impaired in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Glutathione levels were shown to be significantly lower in these patients.
Enhancing your glutathione levels can help you overcome the high levels of oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby reducing pain and improving mobility.
Both glaucoma and cataracts can result in loss of vision. They’re both caused (in part) by oxidative stress to your ocular nerve. Keeping your glutathione levels elevated can help reduce oxidative stress and prevent these conditions from setting in.
Low glutathione levels during pregnancy can lead to impaired brain development in the unborn child. Environmental and lifestyle factors are known to cause oxidative stress and lower glutathione levels – resulting in birth defects, abortion and miscarriages in pregnancy.

AIDS patients generally have weaker immune system, low glutathione levels and a low resistance to pathogens. Glutathione deficiency is associated with a decreased survival rate in HIV.
Studies have shown that raising glutathione can be an effective treatment for HIV. It can even reverse the wasting effects of AIDS. It also boosts T-cell production, which is necessary to keep a strong immune system and mount a defence against opportunistic infection.
To find out more about how Immunocal & glutathione can help for AIDS / HIV, please click HERE.
Studies have shown that Glutathione can lighten skin tone of healthy women.
However it should be noted that taking glutathione directly is ineffective, as it’ll just be digested and broken down i.e. the Glutathione would not be able to reach your cells where it’s most needed.
“There are many myths and mysteries about raising glutathione…
Let me be clear – Immunocal is the only natural patented protein proven to raise and sustain glutathione levels and help the immune system.”
