| A powerful antioxidant that is produced
by the body in the liver from the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid
and glycine. Responsible for a number of antioxidants functions,
Glutathione may be considered one of the many important antioxidants in
our bodies. Aequus Glutathione acts as an antioxidant to prevent
oxidative stress in most cells and help to trap free radicals that can
damage DNA and RNA, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C are added to enhance
Glutathione’s liver supporting properties. |

What is Glutathione?
Glutatione is a powerful anti-oxidant that is produced by the
body in the liver from the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid
and glycine. Glutathione is responsible for a number of
antioxidant functions and may be considered one of the many
important antioxidants in our bodies. As a sulphur-based
molecule made from three amino acids cystein, glutamic acid and
glycine it is an important antioxidant in the liver’s
detoxification pathways. Glutathione changes chemicals and
metabolic by-products into harmless substances for excretion
from the body, by deactivating harmful free radicals.
Why do I need Glutathione?
Glutathione is a wise choice for those who smoke or drink and
those who are concerned with heavy metal toxicity, liver
disorders and free radical change. Glutathione helps the body
detoxify chemicals, pollutants, alcohol and drugs. It also helps
boost the immune function and helps protect the liver. It may
also be helpful for respiratory conditions.
Recent research suggests that reduced glutathione may be an even
more effective antioxidant than vitamin E and vitamin C.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
What is ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid)?
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a vitamin-like compound that has
proven to posses potent antioxidant properties. It helps prevent
healthy cells from getting damaged by unstable oxygen molecules
known as free radicals. Scientists believe the antioxidant
potential of ALA is even more powerful than Vitamin C and E. It
actually works to recycle these and other important
antioxidants, increasing their effectiveness
Why do I need ALA?
Alpha lipoic acid improves the functioning of the liver, the
body’s chief detoxifying organ. It recycles other antioxidants,
like coenzyme Q10, glutathione, vitamin E and vitamin C, all of
which are used by the liver to render toxins and metabolic
byproducts harmless. Alpha lipoic acid reduces free radical
damage in vessels and nerves. For example diabetics often suffer
from heart disease and nerve damage because the excess sugar in
the blood changes into a damaging agent. Studies show
improvement in nerve conduction and arterial flow when diabetics
use alpha lipoic acid. This supplement also increases the uptake
of sugar into cells, thus reducing blood sugar levels. Alpha
lipoic acid has anti-aging properties because as an antioxidant
it protects the body against environmental pollutants other
substances that and lead to aging. As you can see alpha lipoic
acid is an important supplement for use in many different
conditions and as a preventative therapy for all individuals.
Alpha lipoic acid is produced by the body in small amounts that
are generally inadequate due to the great amount of stress our
bodies face each day. It can be found in formulas for enhancing
liver health, preventing age related disease and balancing blood
sugar. It is often combined with other antioxidants. Other names
for alpha lipoic acid are alpha-lipoate and thioctic acid. |
