Glutathione plays a vital role in the immune system
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or "lupus") is a systemic auto-immune disease that can affect any part of the body. The immune system attacks the body's own cells and tissues, causing inflammation and damage.
The most common organs affected are the heart, joints, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys and nervous system. Symptoms of the disease often come and go with alternating flare ups and remissions.
As with other auto-immune diseases, glutathione deficiency is evident in lupus. This is thought to play a key role in triggering the underlying inflammation which is central to this disease.
Glutathione (GSH) is the body's most important anti-oxidant and plays a vital role in maintaining the immune system.

Glutathione Supplementation in Lupus and Other Autoimmune Diseases
It is known that elevating the glutathione levels in patients with lupus (and other auto-immune diseases) improves the clinical outcome. However glutathione is a fragile molecule that is quickly broken down in the stomach if taken by mouth. Instead the essential glutathione precursors must be provided.
Clinical trials have investigated the use of glutathione precursors (such as N-acetyl cysteine) to treat lupus. Although NAC can elevate glutathione, very high doses are required to be effective, and some studies show that high doses of n-acetyl l-cysteine can increase the risk of kidney stones.
RiboCeine™ is a new compound that is able to provide a far more effective and safe means of elevating intracellular glutathione. RiboCeine is uniquely found in the supplement Cellgevity™ and has been shown to increase systemic glutathione production by over 300%.

Cellgevity is ideal for supporting glutathione levels, increasing energy, regulating the immune system, detoxifying the liver and improving overall health.
