Life Extension – Glutathione
Amino Acids For Immune Support
L-cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid, one of only three sulfur-containing amino acids, the others being taurine (which can be produced from L-cysteine) and L-methionine (from which L-cysteine can be produced in the body by a multi-step process). Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle, acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, the body’s most important intracellular antioxidant and a vital detoxifier.
Glutathione (L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a peptide molecule synthesized in the body from the three amino acids L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine and glycine. Glutathione is one of the body’s most important and powerful antioxidants,8 helping to detoxify xenobiotics. A major function of vitamin C is to keep glutathione in its reduced form so that it can continue to provide free radical-quenching effects.
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while inhibiting its oxidation. Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.

I first heard about Glutathione from a friend who had great results from it. So I tried it and like any supplement you have to take it for about 6 weeks to get the full benefit. I is excellent, it works with your body to make you feel better physically. It is an excellent product and I will not be without it.

I take one capsule once a day. I was not sick once this past Winter and Spring even though I was exposed to many others who were sick. I got to thinking that this product may have offered me some protection since it is meant for immune support.

My Aunt is an herbalist and this is the first thing she told me to take once I tested positive for the virus. I also took Clear Lungs, vitamin C, oregano oil, colloidal silver, and turmeric, and my symptoms were gone within a week. Not saying this will work for all but it did for me.
