Migraine

Migraine is a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent severe headaches that can last up to 72 hours. The headache is often unilateral (one sided) with associated symptoms that may include nausea, increased sensitivity to light and sound, and aura. Certain triggers may be a cause for migraine such as stress, exercise, hunger, chemical toxins, food additives (eg MSG), alcohol, caffeine, electromagnetic radiation, the menstrual cycle and fatigue.

Glutathione is the brain's most important antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Glutathione plays a vital role in eliminating harmful toxins from the body. If glutathione stores become depleted these toxins can accumulate and cause cell damage. Glutathione is able to chelate and remove heavy metals such as mercury from the body via the liver. Glutathione also plays a vital role in the production of melatonin, an endogenous antioxidant that is involved in regulating our circadian rhythms and sleep patterns.

Pain medications deplete glutathione levels

 
Migraine sufferers typically take pain relieving medications (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, paracetamol or acetaminophen), however these medicines have the unfortunate side effect of further depleting glutathione stores in the body. 




Enhancing glutathione production for optimal brain health
 

It is known that enhanced glutathione levels are beneficial for brain health, but in practice it can be difficult to effectively increase systemic glutathione levels, as glutathione (GSH) is a fragile molecule that is quickly broken down in the digestive system if taken by mouth. Glutathione must be synthesised within the cell because it cannot be transported into cells.

The glutathione prodrug RiboCeine™ delivers the essential precursor nutrients (ribose and cysteine) to the cell where they can then be turned into glutathione and energy in the form of ATP. RiboCeine has received extensive scientific validation in published peer-reviewed studies and has been shown to increase intracellular glutathione by over 300%. 

Advanced nutritional supplement Cellgevity™ contains RiboCeine along with a selection of natural antioxidant ingredients including curcumin, ideal for supporting optimal brain health.
