Have you ever rolled out of bed in the morning feeling dead tired?

Or do you have those dreaded afternoon yawns mid afternoon?

How about working the late shift and nodding off at the wheel of the loader? 

Well one of the secrets to more energy and more importantly cellular energy is glutathione.

The Role of Glutathione

Oxidation is like a flame, wonderful when harnessed, dangerous when out of control. When we are young, the oxidation necessary for energy production is highly efficient with only a small amount of oxygen not utilized. Even this minor oxygen loss (1-3%) unfortunately results in the production of free radicals. And this is where glutathione comes in to neutralize those free radicals.

A one-to-three percent oxygen loss causing free-radical production doesn’t sound too bad, does it? But say you are no longer 20 years of age and correspondingly, your cellular mitochondria are not as efficient as they once were. More and more free radicals are generated in the oxidative energy process and they are, in turn, damaging the mitochondria themselves.

The powerful antioxidant, glutathione, quenches a number of free-radicals, including the highly dangerous hydroxyl radical by donating an electron. Glutathione itself does not become a free radical even though it has given up an electron.

No wonder it is called the Master Antioxidant! Now that it is quenched, the extremely harmful hydroxyl radical is halted from its really dirty work: generating other free radicals like peroxynitrite and the radicals of oxidized fats (lipids).

Glutathione has just halted a literal cascade of free radicals by quenching the hydroxyl free radical. 

But you need to know just what a favour glutathione has done for you in preventing peroxynitrite production.

Peroxynitrite is truly pernicious!

Martin L. Pall, PhD, professor of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Science at Washington State University stated: “Peroxynitrite reacts with and inactivates several of the enzymes in mitochondria so that mitochondrial and energy metabolism dysfunction is one of the most important consequences of elevated peroxynitrite.”2

Translation: When the mitochondria have suffered enough free radical damage as to become dysfunctional, energy production is impaired. Your cells do not get the amount of energy they need to function properly. Your cells may function at a level below the optimum although you probably won’t feel it. 

There is yet one more free-radical mitochondrial consequence as a result of low glutathione levels that you “will” be aware of. Richard Van Konynenburg, PhD, wrote: “The resulting partial blockades in the Krebs cycles and the respiratory chains in the red, slow-twitch skeletal muscle cells decrease their rate of production of ATP. Since ATP is what powers muscle contractions, the lack of it produces physical fatigue. It becomes chronic because GSH [glutathione] remains depleted.”3 

You might think of free radicals as a band of marauders circling an oil tanker, preparing to hijack the precious commodity that fuels cars and trains and pretty much the entire Western world. Glutathione molecules could be considered a group of highly efficient bodyguards—handing out electrons and turning vicious marauders into mild-mannered bystanders.

Glutathione Praise from Dr. Keller As you understand this intricate energy creation process, perhaps you will appreciate more a statement by the creator of MaxGXL, Dr. Robert H. Keller. Dr. Keller said that glutathione is “critical to cell functions such as the TCA (Kreb) cycle and then the respiratory chain that uses 4 molecules of ATP to generate 32 molecules of ATP.”

Is it vital for you to have those glutathione bodyguards on energy duty? 

Van Konynenburg certainly thinks so as he wrote, “GSH [glutathione] plays very important roles in maintaining mitochondrial function and integrity.”4

Perhaps it’s enough to remember that glutathione is there to assure that the creation of cellular energy is not hampered by free radical damage. While this is not by any means the only role glutathione plays in keeping your body running smoothly, it is a vitally important role. Now you have one more reason to appreciate Dr. Keller’s marvelous, patented product.
