2 Discover the Power of Glutathione What is Glutathione? Composed of the three amino acids, cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine, Glutathione is the primary constituent of glutathione peroxidase one of the most powerful antioxidant enzymes within our bodies. Glutathione is active between cells; and as a component of glutathione peroxidase, functions within them. It is a powerful combatant defending our body s cells. What else does Glutathione Peroxidase do? In addition to being an important antioxidant, Glutathione peroxidase aids in maintaining normal levels of other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, by converting their spent forms back into active antioxidants, thus enhancing our body s defenses. How does Glutathione work? Glutathione has many functions. One of the most important functions is to act as an antioxidant by deactivating and rendering excess free radicals harmless, thus protecting our body. Powerful antioxidants are critical to our immune function. What are Free Radicals? Free radicals are reactive compounds containing atoms with unpaired electrons, which damage cells by seeking a partner and trying to steal their electrons. Where do Free Radicals come from? ;;; ;;; ;;;;;;;;; ;; ;;;; ;;; Free radicals are practically everywhere. They are formed from exposure to radiation and UV rays from the sun. Plus, they are produced by tobacco smoke, auto pollution, harmful chemicals, pesticides, and even our own metabolism. Antioxidants help guard our body cells from the negative effects of these free radicals by fighting them off and thereby promoting normal cellular growth. Why shouldn t I just take Glutathione alone? When it is taken in food, both glutathione and glutathione peroxidase are broken apart and destroyed by our digestive system. Glutathione is an important nutrient that our diet can t supply. Our bodies need the nutrients to make it. What is Glutathione Booster? Glutathione Booster is a powerful health activator. It is an exclusive, innovative formula designed with the nutrients our bodies need to boost levels of the antioxidant enzyme, Glutathione Peroxidase, and assist in promoting good health.

3 Nutrients within Glutathione Booster support the immune system, help us reach optimal health, and can reward us with peak performance. Alpha Lipoic Acid: Alpha lipoic acid is an important co-factor in cellular energy. It supports liver detoxification. There is evidence it may play an important role in extending the metabolic life of vitamins C and E, co-enzyme Q 10, and glutathione. N-Acetyl Cysteine: N-acetyl cysteine is an important amino acid and an essential building block of glutathione. Ample supplies are needed for optimal glutathione synthesis within our body. N-acetyl cysteine is readily absorbed through the digestive tract and becomes available for the body s metabolic processes. Sulfur: Garlic and asparagus are rich in sulfur compounds. Sulfur plays an important role in the activation of enzymatic reactions involving cysteine. This element is a component of essential vitamins, body enzymes, proteins, and more. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a familiar and well-known antioxidant utilized by our body in many ways. Vitamin E acts to prevent free radical formation and assists maintaining the body s healthy cellular balance. Selenium: Selenium is a mineral, and an integral element in the production of the enzyme called - glutathione peroxidase. It works together with vitamin E and protects the cells from oxidative damage of free radicals. It assists in ionic transfers, and is a vital component of co-enzyme Q 10 synthesis. Milk Thistle Extract: The extract from the seeds of the milk thistle plant contains silymarin, which may assist in decreasing oxidation and may aid in the promotion of glutathione levels within the liver. Vitamin C: Vitamin C, a widely studied antioxidant and a vital daily nutrient, plays a critical role in maintaining the antioxidant capacity of cellular metabolism. Vitamin C supports immune function and has the capacity to help maintain or boost glutathione levels. Riboflavin (B2): Our body uses riboflavin in various ways. It is primarily involved in energy production, but also plays a role within glutathione metabolism.
