Glutathione Benefits!
Helps Prevent Flu

Glutathione benefits are many but one real important one is boosting the immune system. A research study was done by Dr. Dean Jones of Emory University. Glutathione is an antioxidant that protects the body against free radical damage. It is also important for normal function of the liver. According to Dr. Jones, glutathione inhibits certain enzymes that help the flu virus infect the cells in the mouth and throat, the first phase of the flu infection. It also slow down viral proliferation and the spread of the infection.

In this study, mice were exposed to the flu virus. Some mice received drinking water enriched with glutathione, while others drank plain water. The level of the virus was significantly lower in the glutathione group.

Dr Jones has stated that “you may consider using glutathione and other antioxidants to reduce your chances of catching a cold or flu. Keep in mind that glutathione is the "master" antioxidant which means that it helps regulate and recycle all other antioxidants in the cells.”

GSH or glutathione cannot be taken orally with any significant results. Studies have shown that GSH/glutathione can only be replenished at the cellular level. One of the best ways to replenish glutathione at the cell level is glutathione rich food. Undenatured whey protein is one of the best products to accomplish this very thing. Un denatured whey protein has all three precursors for making GSH (glutathione ) in the body. These three precursors are cysteine, glutamine and glycine.

While studying the role of glutathione as an anti-cancer agent, the Emory scientists discovered that one of the enzymes that uses glutathione to detoxify cancer-causing chemicals and oxidants is deposited in the mucous layer lining the mouth and nose, thus providing an extra cellular barrier to toxic chemicals. This led them to consider a possible glutathione benefits to be as anti-flu protection.

Although not scientific by any means common sense leads me to believe that cells which are saturated with glutathione would give the body the best chance to fight off flu virus by itself. Since flu shots can sometimes cause more problems than they cure and the added fact the flu vaccine people have a very poor record for prevention of any kind of flu it makes sense to give the body the tools and let it do it’s thing. Good nutrition gives the body all the tools it needs to fight infection and disease.
