Potent Cancer Fighting Antioxidant
Glutathione
The Potent Cancer Fighting Antioxidant
Glutathione is a potent free radical scavenger. It is one of the most powerful and versatile antioxidants. It protects every cell, tissue, and organ by breaking down and disposing harmful free radicals. People with high levels of glutathione have a lower risk of cancer.
Glutathione Helps:
- Maintain healthy immune function
- Prevent Cancer
- Block Cell Damage
- Save cholesterol from oxidizing
- Reverse premature aging
- Prevent macular degeneration
- Quiet Inflammation
- Protect DNA from damage
- Reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy or radiation, preventing secondary cancers
Ways to increase glutathione levels:
- Eat foods with glutathione: avocado, watermelon, asparagus, grapefruit, acorn squash, strawberries, okra, cantaloupe, onion, zucchini
- Eat Cooked Cruciferous Vegetables: Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, bok choy, kale
- Eat Brazil Nuts for Selenium
- Take Vitamin C : 500mg - 2000 mg daily
- Supplement L-Glutamine: this amino acid can boost glutathione levels more than taking glutathione directly.
- Drink Whey Protein Smoothies: Whey increases glutathione in cells.
