"Glutathione recycling" refers to the process of reusing or replenishing a molecule called glutathione in the body. Glutathione is an important antioxidant and detoxifier that helps protect cells from damage and removes harmful substances. Recycling it means keeping its levels up to maintain its beneficial effects for overall health.
Full definition
One must also
support glutathione recycling to balance the immune system, protect body tissue from damage caused by inflammation, and help repair damage.
Before I can explain
how glutathione recycling works, I first need to explain more about how specifically glutathione protects us.
Keeping overall glutathione levels up by supporting
glutathione recycling helps buffer the body's cells from the many stressors hurled at us each day.
Taken together these botanicals and compounds activate the glutathione peroxidase and reductase enzymes that promote a healthy
glutathione recycling system.
Once you have addressed these factors (which for many people can actually take care of the problem) and autoimmune dysfunction persists, then
boosting glutathione recycling may be necessary.
Although repairing a leaky gut is vital to taming an autoimmune response, we can see
now glutathione recycling is another vital piece to the puzzle of restoring gut health.
Alpha - lipoic acid (ALA): ALA directly recycles and extends the metabolic life spans of vitamin C, glutathione, and coenzyme Q10, and it indirectly renews vitamin E, all of which are necessary
for glutathione recycling.
Promoting glutathione recycling helps protect cell mitochondria, enhance tissue recovery, modulate an imbalance between TH - 1 and TH - 2, and boost immune regulation.
A
compromised glutathione recycling system can worsen intestinal destruction — the person with multiple food sensitivities and a gut that never heals may be victim of this mechanism.
Studies have also shown that
efficient glutathione recycling helps boost the TH - 3 system, the branch of the immune system that helps balance the TH - 1 and TH - 2 systems and prevent autoimmune reactivity.
Glutathione recycles other antioxidants, too, so you can get a little extra juju out of your vitamin C if you take it with glutathione — either as a supplement or via foods that help your body make its own.
When glutathione recycling is insufficient, a person is more prone to developing leaky gut and all that maladies that accompany it.
To
enhance glutathione recycling, remove stressors depleting glutathione levels such as lack of sleep, smoking, food intolerances, diets high in sugars and processed foods, and excess alcohol intake.
The most important first step to
boost glutathione recycling and better manage Hashimoto's hypothyroidism is to remove the stressors depleting glutathione levels to the best of your ability.
Booting your glutathione levels with a glutathione liposomal cream and then
supporting glutathione recycling can profoundly enhance the management of Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, inflammatory disorders, chemical sensitivities, food sensitivities, and more.
Glutathione recycling helps balance the immune system, protect the thyroid gland tissue from damage caused autoimmune attacks, and also helps repair damage.
Good
glutathione recycling is an important tool in managing Hashimoto's hypothyroidism.
Other practitioners and I have witnessed patients rebuild
their glutathione recycling system.
So how do we support
glutathione recycling?
Glutathione recycling is a separate function from just boosting glutathione levels through a liposomal cream, intravenously, a nebulizer, a suppository, or other means.
By boosting this enzyme and supplementing glutathione levels we can increase glutathione levels and
glutathione recycling to quench inflammation once it starts, or, even better, to prevent inflammation in the first place.
The following nutritional and botanical compounds have been shown to support
glutathione recycling:
Glutathione recycling is vital to good gut health.
Vitamin C and
glutathione recycle one another.
Selenium is needed for glutathione peroxidase,
a glutathione recycling enzyme.
Booting your glutathione levels and supporting
glutathione recycling can significantly help you manage Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, inflammatory disorders, chemical sensitivities, food sensitivities, and more.
In addition to addressing lifestyle factors, a variety of nutritional and botanical compounds have been shown to support
glutathione recycling.
In addition to addressing lifestyle factors, you can take a variety of nutritional and botanical compounds that have been shown to support
glutathione recycling.
Boosting your glutathione levels with an absorbable form and then supporting
glutathione recycling can significantly help you manage autoimmune disease, inflammatory disorders, chemical sensitivities, food sensitivities, and more.
The most important first step to boost
glutathione recycling is to remove the stressors depleting glutathione levels to the best of your ability.
These are low - sulfur and support the liver's detoxification processes and
glutathione recycling.
Good
glutathione recycling is an important tool in managing autoimmune disease.
One of the most important steps to enhance
glutathione recycling is to remove stressors depleting glutathione levels.
Boosting your glutathione levels with a glutathione liposomal cream and then supporting
glutathione recycling can profoundly enhance the management of autoimmune disease, inflammatory disorders, chemical sensitivities, food sensitivities, and more.
Beyond that, a variety of nutritional and botanical compounds have been shown to support
glutathione recycling.
