Healthy Aging Tip #4 - Glutathione - The Master Defender against disease, doxins and aging

Starting out the New Year with an important Healthy Aging Tip on “The Master Antioxidant, Glutathione” now posted in the General Health Forum section. [www.afibbers.org]

Glutathione levels begin to decline around age 45 so be sure you become acquainted with this important nutrient that’s not often mentioned outside of functional medicine circles.

Of interest to Afibbers – glutathione helps prevent oxidative stress damage and the resultant inflammation which leads to structural remodeling and formation of cardiac fibrosis known to interfere with cardiac electrical conduction pathways… just one of many areas important to healthy cells.

Here’s to a Healthy 2016 and peaceful hearts!

Thank You Jackie.

This is great information and I have added this supplement to my daily regimen.

Hello Jackie....just saw a review by someone using Glutathione that said if you suffer from Hypothyroidism not to use it. Would you agree with this statement?

Spekkles - I have not seen that indication. I trend toward hypothyroidism, so I'd have perked up at that connection or the contraindication since I supplement with Liposomal GSH and drink the specific Whey protein.

I do know that glutathione is required to convert T4 to T3...so that would support the importance of adequate GSH levels.
