‍Glutathione 101:
‍

If you’re going to add one superfood to your diet, you can’t go wrong with Glutathione. Deemed “the master antioxidant” and “mother of all antioxidants” it comes as no surprise, Glutathione is the body’s most powerful antioxidant. While Glutathione may not get as much publicity as other antioxidants, Glutathione is one of the most essential molecules to keep our body in good health. This powerhouse is the ultimate detoxifier and immune supporter, protecting our mitochondria from being damaged by toxins, free radicals, and heavy metals. Fortunately, our bodies naturally produce this master antioxidant, but lifestyle factors such as poor diet, toxins, and stressors may lead to depleted and deficient glutathione levels. When Glutathione levels become depleted, our body becomes more susceptible to oxidative stress which may result in the onset of disease (such as Alzheimer’s, liver disease, cancer, heart attack and stroke). Prevent disease and maintain optimal health and performance by keeping your Glutathione levels in check!

Optimize Glutathione Levels 

• Vitamin IV- The most effective and efficient way to increase your Glutathione levels is with a Vitamin IV. While there are several ways to supplement Glutathione, IV infusions are superior. IV infusions deliver nutrients straight to the bloodstream, surpassing the digestive tract and providing the body with maximum absorption and benefits
• Consume Sulfur Rich Foods- Cruciferous Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, watercress, kale, garlic and onion boost glutathione levels through sulfur components 
• Include Whey Protein in your Diet– Whey protein contains the amino acid cysteine, which helps boost production of glutathione. It’s important you purchase the right type of whey protein! Opt for a brand that is pasture-raised avoiding any processed form or protein isolate
• Exercise– As glutathione is dependent on ATP, increasing exercise can lead to increased levels of glutathione. Aim to incorporate weekly cardio, resistance training and HIIT, being mindful to include rest and recovery days.
