Glutathione is the body's most powerful antioxidant and plays a key role in the prevention of cancer
Glutathione
(GSH) performs a number of vital roles to keep cells functioning
optimally. Free radicals are now known to contribute to virtually every
degenerative disease including cancer. Glutathione neutralises these
harmful free radicals and helps to slow the aging process. Glutathione also chelates heavy metals and eliminates toxins, protects cells against radiation damage, and supports a healthy immune system. Unfortunately many factors conspire to reduce the body's vital glutathione stores, including chronic illness, aging, stress, environmental toxins and chemotherapy.
Glutathione supplementation beneficial after chemotherapy

Low
glutathione levels are commonly found among those undergoing
chemotherapy. A glutathione supplement is thought to be very beneficial
after a course of chemotherapy, to restore glutathione levels.
Research scientists Bogliun et al (see abstract opposite) studied women with ovarian cancer who were being treated with chemotherapy. Some of the women were also treated with intravenous glutathione. Those given the glutathione not only had fewer toxic side effects from the chemotherapy but also had better overall survival rates.

Glutathione: A bullet proof vest?
According to Patrick Holford, author of Say No To Cancer: ‘Glutathione
deserves attention as it is perhaps the most important antioxidant
within cells and has proven to be highly cancer protective.’
The anti-cancer properties of glutathione are well documented. In 1981 a group of scientists gave a group of rats a known carcinogen, then treated half of the rats with glutathione. After eight months there were no survivors in the control group, but 81% of the rats that had received glutathione were still alive.
Glutathione has been shown to stimulate apoptosis (cell death) of malignant cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected. Glutathione also regulates levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF1), an important immune modulator involved in cell death.

Ultimate Glutathione Enhancement
Glutathione is a fragile molecule that cannot be taken orally as it is quickly broken down in the digestion. Instead the necessary glutathione precursors must be provided. Cellgevity™ is a unique nutritional supplement that contains a special combination of natural glutathioneprecursors designed to increase production of glutathione in the body.
