GLUTATHIONE - Overview

Glutathione is said to be a small protein composed of three amino acids called cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Glutathione is produced by the body in response to the environment (including pollution), the water we drink, and the chemicals and pesticides found in the food we eat that damages our cells and systems.

Glutathione is usually referred to as the body s master anti-oxidant. It is said to be important in maintaining good health and long life. A person who is exposed to more toxins is said to use up his supply of glutathione. Without the protection of glutathione, cells will die at a faster rate, leading to quicker aging and a higher risk of developing diseases induced by toxins such as carcinoma.

Small molecule made up of linked amino acids and anti-oxidant naturally produced in the body. It has been widely heralded for its importance for good health and long life. Glutathione in increased dose posts a remarkable good 'side effect' such as SKIN WHITENING.

Smokers (“people who smoke, are chronically exposed to toxins, suffer from conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, AIDS, CA have lower levels of Glutathione. It’s a vicious cycle: health problems deplete the supply of Glutathione & reduced levels of Glutathione increasing risk of health problems.”)

SIDE EFFECTS:

Generally considered to be free of side effects. No untoward side effects nor interactions with oral administration reported even in prolonged use. It is SAFE. Classified as Food Supplement not a herbal. Made from genetically synthesize molecules. The only reported side- effect is SKIN WHITENING when taken in increased doses.

TOXICITY: No toxicities have been reported or suspected as being associated with glutathione.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
None known, except for use during some forms of chemotherapy and radiation where antioxidants are contraindicated due to their inhibition of the free radical formation which is an integral part of the therapeutic mechanism.

DRUG INTERACTION:

· · anti-psychotic medication - Haloperidol

· · chemotherapeutic drug - Cisplatin.

GLUTATHIONE PREPARATIONS TO BE AVOIDED:

Beware! Not all glutathione out in the market are safe. What type of L Glutathione preparations must be AVOIDED? L glutathione preparations that are in combinations with the following:

· · Tyrostat ( L tyrosine)

Their oral format is still highly questioned by clinicians. This is used only for topical consumption and not to be taken orally. There were reports that even their hair turned white and painful feeling and firming of the breasts.

· · Goat/Sheep Placenta Extract

Like that of Tyrostat, this is not recommended to be taken orally. The usual complaints of users are they get pimples and they get fat.

· · Vitamin A and E (of high dosage)

Of course there is nothing wrong with these vitamins but you should consider that skin-whitening pills would take you months and months of daily-dose regimen. These vitamins can lead to hypervitaminosis, which is toxic to our body with prolonged use. These forms of vitamins are what we call fat-soluble vitamins (such as Vitamin A, D, E and K). Fat Soluble vitamins are metabolized and hydrolyzed in the liver. With prolonged use, fat-soluble vitamins can be detrimental to one s health since an excess of these preparations will not just simply be excreted; they will just be stored in the liver. This is the reason why doctors advise their patients to rest their liver after at least a month of taking fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin C and B-complex, when not used by the body, will just be excreted via urine, bile or feces.
