Step into the light: Glutathione

Today, I’m shining a light on the body’s master antioxidant: GLUTATHIONE.

You’ve read about it in Suzanne Somers’ books, seen it discussed by medical professionals on TV and by influencers online — all for good reason!

Without geeking out too much, this antioxidant made of up 3 amino acids (protein building blocks of the body) is astounding.

Made in our liver, it is SO crucial to our wellbeing, it’s found in EVERY CELL IN OUR BODIES:

• Needed for DNA production
• Removes heavy metals, drugs, chemicals (detox)
• Protects against oxidative stress 
• Discourages rouge cell production
• Helps the liver & gallbladder process fats

(A quick search online yields the benefits for some serious chronic conditions and overall importance of the antioxidant).

Some researchers believe that glutathione levels in our cells may be a predictor of our longevity and, unfortunately, our production of this crucial compound declines with age. 

Options for boosting levels range in price and effectiveness:

• Sulfur-rich foods like garlic, onions, broccoli, spinach, avocados, asparagus, unprocessed meat (may not be easily absorbed, but these also provide other important compounds our bodies need naturally)
• NAC and/or milk thistle to activate your body’s production (quality, dosage & regular use are crucial)
• Glutathione pills (taken orally; conflicting research on effectiveness)
• IV infusions (working with a provider to receive an IV; effects last a few months)
• Glutathione patch (increases your body’s own glutathione production naturally  by an average of 300%; worn 5-7 days a week for up to 12 hours at a time)

“Glutathione is best known for repairing damaged cells in your body. It may help ward off a variety of diseases, such as neurological disorders, liver disease, certain heart conditions, autoimmune disorders, respiratory diseases, and other medical conditions.”  Source: WebMD

Other research shows an improvement in skin’s appearance, relaxation, detoxification, immunity and overall wellbeing.

Project Pet: Equines & Essential Oils

Ideally, horses, mules, donkeys and minis encounter essential oils (EO) naturally while grazing on live plants and as flavoring in their feed. With many equines now kept in less natural surroundings due to space and time considerations, EO can play a vital role in helping your companions stay healthy.
