The Glutathione Theory of Aging.

The Glutathione Theory of Aging reviews the multiple biological functions of glutathione, including its status as the Master Antioxidant, and its role as a key regulator of detoxification, immune function and anti-viral activity. Sub-optimal glutathione levels are common because many diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors contribute to glutathione depletion, and the body's ability to synthesize glutathione declines as people age. Studies reveal that most age-related chronic degenerative diseases are associated with low glutathione levels. This article also introduces people to Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3, which is a unique strain of probiotic bacteria thar synthesizes glutathione. Boosting glutathione levels is an important proactive step people can take to promote good health and achieve healthy longevity.
