Bipolar Disorder

Scientific studies have shown that individuals with psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression and other psychiatric illnesses are deficient in glutathione.

Glutathione is the major antioxidant and free radical scavenger in the brain and plays a vital role in mopping up harmful toxins. When glutathione levels become depleted, these toxins accumulate and cause cell damage. Glutathione levels are depleted by many factors including alcohol consumption and many common medications.

In a study published in the July 2010 issue of the International Journal of Neuropsyhopharmacology researchers found that the levels of systemic glutathione were significantly decreased in all psychiatric conditions and that individuals with these types of mental disorders may be more susceptible to oxidative stress and free radical damage.

How to Increase Glutathione Production  

PictureDr. Michael Berk of The Mental Health Research Institute of Victoria published a study of brain glutathione and its effectiveness on bipolar sufferers. Dr. Berk states, “Brain glutathione metabolism appears to be a valuable new treatment target for psychiatric disorders, and we hope the impressive results of this study open up a new treatment option.”

Ashley Bush, M.D., Ph.D., the article’s corresponding author, further explains: “Glutathione is the brain’s primary antioxidant defense, and there is evidence of increased oxidative stress in bipolar disorder.”

In practice however it can be difficult to raise glutathione levels through oral supplementation, as glutathione (GSH) is a fragile molecule that is quickly destroyed in the digestive tract. 


RiboCeine™ is a novel compound that provides an effective means of elevating intracellular glutathione production. The Ribo
Ceine compound combines ribose (an essential component of cellular energy ATP) and cysteine (precursor for glutathione) to provide the cells with the required building blocks for glutathione production.

Advanced Glutathione Supplements

MaxGXL is a highly effective glutathione accelerator based on n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and other key nutrients that aid in absorption of glutathione precursors into the body.

Cellgevity contains key ingredient RiboCeine™, which has been shown to increase systemic glutathione production by over 300%. Increased glutathione levels will help to support optimal brain function, detoxify cells, improve mental clarity, increase energy levels, enhance sleep quality and improve overall health.
