Glutathione is a protein present in our bodies which is produced by our body cells themselves. Good levels of glutathione production are essential for the body because it supports the smooth functioning of the various vital organs like the liver, lungs etc.
Medically, glutathione is termed as the body’s master antioxidant, immune booster and detoxifier. It neutralizes the free radicals and detoxifies the harmful toxins which enter our body and breaks them down into forms which can be easily flushed out of the body. By destroying the free radicals and the harmful toxins, glutathione protects the healthy body cells and therefore strengthens the body’s immune system.
When the immune system of the body is strong, the body is protected from the development of a number of diseases. But, due to a number of factors like old age and stress the glutathione production in the body reduces and therefore gradually the immune system starts to become weak. When the immune system weakens, the body becomes more prone to illnesses and a person with lower glutathione level may develop a number of diseases like Alzheimer’s, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson’s disease etc.
