Often the seizures will occur spontaneously, however sometimes certain precipitants can trigger a seizure. Examples of triggers for epilepsy may include emotional stress, air pollution, sleep deprivation, medications, alcohol and radiation. These are all factors that are known to reduce levels of glutathione, a vital brain antioxidant.
Seizures create a huge amount of oxidative stress which is very damaging to the brain cells, further reducing the glutathione levels.
The damaging free radicals that are formed during a seizure diminish levels of glutathione in the brain. Anti-seizure drugs also have the undesirable side effect of reducing glutathione levels.
Glutathione and the Brain
Glutathione
is an important neuromodulator that directly affects the activity of
brain cells. Research scientists in Japan, Canada and Italy have
conducted independent experiments showing that drug induced seizures can be prevented if glutathione is administered beforehand.Canadian scientists demonstrated that a combined therapy of glutathione with antioxidant vitamin E reduced the number of brain cells damaged after a seizure.
Several scientists have successfully used glutathione precursors to treat seizures.
"Since glutathione is also itself an anticonvulsant, it may be used as a complementary therapy to both treat and prevent seizures as well as to lessen the adverse effects of conventional drugs.”

Natural Glutathione Enhancement
Cellgevity™ is an advanced glutathione precursor supplement, that contains RiboCeine™ to dramatically increase systemic glutathione production. Optimised intracellular glutathione levels will help to neutralise the harmful free radicals created during a seizure, and may even help to prevent seizures.
