We are excited to add to our high-quality supplement line up TruLipoGlutathione\u2122<\/a>, <\/strong>\u00a0an innovative liposomal product to enhance cellular delivery and bioavailability of our critical cellular energy powerhouse, Glutathione.\u00a0\u00a0 Together with our incredibly effective TruMitochondrial Boost\u2122<\/em> (L-ergothioneine<\/em>)<\/strong> formulation, <\/strong>you now have two of the most effective options available to naturally enhance cellular energy.\u00a0 Both of these cellular energy enhancers help with the stress our bodies face from many directions these days: physical illness, dietary imbalance, COVID shot adverse effects, environmental stress, and the mental-psychological stress of the uncertainty and upheaval in our daily lives.\u00a0 You can read more on L-ergothioneine in my earlier Health Tips, available in our archive at www.TruthforHealth.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, I want to focus briefly on our new option to boost Glutathione.\u00a0 Then in an upcoming Health Tip, I will explain how these two products work by different mechanisms to have a synergistic<\/em> impact to improve cellular mitochondrial energy production.\u00a0 The impact on your quality of life, daily energy, mental clarity and overall health can be quite remarkable, as I have experienced myself since I added both of these products to my own regimen.<\/p>\n

\nWhat is Glutathione?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Glutathione is a small molecule with a big job: helping protect your cells from the wear and tear of everyday life. Often called the body\u2019s \u201cmaster antioxidant,\u201d\u00a0glutathione\u00a0helps control oxidative stress, supports natural detoxification pathways, and helps immune cells function properly. Your body makes it from three amino acids\u2014the building blocks of protein in your diet\u2014called glutamate, cysteine, and glycine<\/em><\/strong>. Your liver serves as a major production and distribution center, while cells throughout your body also make their own supply.<\/p>\n

Making glutathione and maintaining enough of it<\/em> are not the same thing. When stress increases from any source\u2014mental or physical\u2014the glutathione demand skyrockets.\u00a0 If the body lacks the raw materials\u2014such as adequate protein in your diet\u2014to make more glutathione every day, this essential defense system comes under pressure.<\/p>\n

How do you support healthy glutathione production with practical steps that allow your body to maintain the cellular protection your body relies on every day?\u00a0 For many of us, diet is just not enough, especially as we get older, or are trying to recover from the damage of illness or the COVID shots, or life stresses. That\u2019s exactly the reason I decided to add TruLipoGlutathione\u2122 <\/strong>to our store for my patients and our readers.<\/p>\n

\nWhen Your Body\u2019s Defenses Face Greater Demands<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your cells constantly produce reactive oxygen species<\/em><\/strong> (ROS)\u2014highly reactive molecules that form during energy production for our daily activities, immune responses to triggers we encounter daily, and other normal body processes. Environmental exposures to chemicals, allergens, pollulants and endocrine disruptors add significantly to that ROS burden. In controlled amounts, reactive oxygen species serve useful purposes, but when they overwhelm antioxidant defenses, they create oxidative stress that damages fats, proteins, other cellular components, and increases the destructive inflammatory burden on the body tissues.<\/p>\n

Glutathione helps keep the balance in check between ROS and antioxidant effect. But it is difficult to maintain healthy levels of glutathione in our daily stressful lives, with aging, inadequate nutrition, and increased exposure to oxidants all combining to make it harder to maintain adequate glutathione.\u00a0 Poor nutrition with low protein diets clearly leads to inadequate amounts of the amino acids needed to manufacture glutathione.\u00a0 Certain medications, environmental chemicals, and ongoing oxidative stress increase the need for glutathione, yet without the building blocks necessary, the body can\u2019t make it.\u00a0 Surgery, illness, strenuous exercise training are all examples of added stressors that greatly increase demand for glutathione.<\/p>\n

Think of glutathione as part of a rechargeable cellular defense system. In its reduced form, called GSH, it is ready to participate in antioxidant reactions. After use, some becomes an oxidized form, called GSSG. Your cells recycle it back into GSH so it can work again. <\/p>\n

Maintaining this balance in glutathione is critical for your cells to adequately respond to everyday challenges, acute new situations and demanding chronic ones, without allowing oxidative damage to dominate and damage your body.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Life is Uncertain, Support Your Defenses From Within<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During times of uncertainty, worry, and fear, stress can feel relentless. And the effects may reach beyond how you feel emotionally. Research links prolonged psychological stress with oxidative stress. Over time, this imbalance can contribute to cellular wear and tear. Emotional stress and oxidative stress are not the same thing, but they interact and intensify each other in causing damage to the body over time.<\/p>\n

Chronic stress challenges the balance between use and loss with production and recycling of our glutathione stores. Uncertainty and fear drain your supplies and limit replenishment of the defense mechanisms upon which our bodies depend. \u00a0You cannot always control the chaos around you, or make the world less demanding. But you can give added support to your body\u2019s internal cellular defenses while you navigate daily life challenges. That is where supplementing glutathione, the body\u2019s \u201cmaster antioxidant,\u201d provides a tool to help improve your cellular energy and resilience to deal with stressors.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t really switch off emotions or eliminate life\u2019s pressures. But we can make the choice to support our body\u2019s glutathione production to help maintain an antioxidant system our cells literally must have every day! <\/em>TruLipoGlutathione\u2122<\/a> <\/strong>added to your supplement plan is an additional way to help your body cope with stressful times.<\/p>\n
