woman-vaginal-dryness_0Every year as the rate of diseases for women increase, scientists, researchers and health professionals are making
significant connections between the role of environmental toxins and their effects on women’s health. Environmental toxins exist everywhere – in the air we breathe, the water we drink and in the food we consume. It’s staggering to realize that since World War II, over 100,000 toxic chemicals have been released into the environment.

A 2009 study by the Environmental Working Group found 48 toxic chemicals in the urine samples of five prominent women environmental activists who live across the U.S. These chemicals are commonly used in everyday consumer products and have been linked to birth defects, hormonal disfunction and increased cancer rates.

Glutathione Breakthrough: An Advancement in Antioxidant Science

/0 Comments/in , /by

Glutathione(GSH) is one of the most important molecules in the body. It plays a huge role in antioxidant defence, nutrient metabolism, and a vast number of cellular processes. To give you a better idea of how important it is, there are over 76,000 medical articles about the health benefits of glutathione.

GSH is the most important intracellular antioxidant, regulating all other antioxidants and preventing damage to the cell. There is a huge problem with people having a glutathione deficiency. This is an issue because Metabolic imbalance, allergies, asthma, inflammation, immunodeficiency, and diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, seizure, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, sickle cell anemia, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, HIV, AIDS, infection, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes are related to low GSH levels.

Since GSH is unstable, there has been limited clinical use of it despite the impressive medical benefits. Oral preparations of GSH haven’t been successful due to the sulfur taste, and GSH is also easily inactivated by stomach acid before the body can absorb it.
