Glutathione is the body?s master detoxifier and most potent endogenous antioxidant. Glutathione offers comprehensive antioxidant protection, binding to a wide array of damaging molecules, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxides, xenobiotics, pesticides, mycotoxins, oxidized vitamin E, oxidized vitamin C, methylmercury, medications, heavy metals, and other harmful substances. Glutathione serves as an essential cofactor for critical and powerful antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-s-transferase (GST). Glutathione also helps regenerate the antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E. Glutathione offers potent protection inside the mitochondria, our cells? energy powerhouses; is critical to our immune system function, helps dampen inflammation; is a key player in autoimmunity; and may confer protection from cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer?s disease. Packaged in an advanced nano-liposomal delivery system, Quicksilver Scientific's glutathione is protected from breakdown by stomach acid and delivered rapidly to the cells where it is needed most.

Supports All 3 Phases of Detoxification:

Glutathione is present in every single cell of our bodies?at surprisingly high levels equal to that of glucose, potassium, or cholesterol. Concentrations are five to ten times higher in hepatocytes than in other cells as the liver is constantly processing and removing toxins. Strengthening the glutathione system supports all three phases of detoxification, but in particular phases II and III

? Phase I?Oxidation: The liver converts a lipid-soluble toxin into a less harmful compound, preparing it for phase II detoxification. This occurs through oxidation, reduction and hydrolysis of substances via cytochrome P450 enzymes.

? Phase II?Conjugation: Glutathione binds to the toxin, rendering it water-soluble. This occurs through sulfation, glucuronidation, and glutathione conjugation of toxins.

? Phase III?Elimination: Cellular transport and elimination of the conjugated toxin through bile or urine. Optimal phase II and III detoxification requires the activation of the cellular master switch Nrf2. Nrf2 regulates over 500 genes involved in detoxification.

Antiinflammatory Action and Autoimmune Support

Glutathione is integral to the proper function of our immune system. In autoimmune diseases, activated neutrophils and chronic inflammation lead to the continual production of ROS and oxidative stress. Altered intracellular levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) have been seen in infections and autoimmune diseases, along with immune activation and inflammation. The two arms of the immune system, TH1 and TH2, are regulated by intracellular glutathione levels, and even a modest increase in intracellular glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) levels potentiates the immune action of lymphocytes. Reduced levels of GSH have been linked with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, cataracts, and aging. Supplementing glutathione improves markers of immune function.

Conjugates and Eliminates Mycotoxins, Methylmercury and Other Neurotoxin

Glutathione plays an essential role in defending us from mercury toxicity. Mercury is a potent biological toxin that is present in auto pollution, fish, dental amalgam, vaccines, and contaminated air and water. Glutathione targets and binds methylmercury and prevents it from penetrating the cell, thereby reducing inflammation and protecting against oxidative damage. Glutathione is also critical in conjugating and eliminating other heavy metals, such as arsenic. Chronic exposure to mold can decrease levels of the enzymes needed to form glutathione, leading to compromised glutathione production and tissue damage or systemic illness. Supplementing with liposomal glutathione is integral in the management of mycotoxin-related conditions.
