Health benefits of THQueen

Glutathione (gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine or GSH) is the most abundant low-molecular-weight thiol within cells. It is manufactured from glutamate, cysteine, and glycine with the help of two enzymes located in the cytosol of cells, gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase and glutathione synthetase.

In oxygen using cells, electrically unstable molecules called free radicals are being continuously churned out, mostly as cell-damaging .reactive oxygen species. or ROS. Free radicals are neutralized by various antioxidant defenses in the body such as the enzymes glutathione peroxidase, catalase and various forms of superoxide dismutase (SOD). When antioxidant defenses are compromised or otherwise overwhelmed by free radicals (prooxidants), a state known as .oxidative stress. exits which can inflict damage to proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. This can set the stage for cell, tissue and even organ damage, and indeed has been implicated as a player in the genesis and progressive of scores of diseases and maladies.

Oxidative stress can lead to a depletion of glutathione. Indeed, people with cancer, AIDs plus various kinds of heart, brain, nervous system, kidney and liver disease almost always have depleted glutathione. Folks who indulge alcohol, smoke or use certain drugs including the OTC pain-killer acetomenophen also tend to experience glutathione depletion.

If one thinks of glutathione as a defense shield . a way of helping the body neutralize cell damaging compounds like hydrogen peroxide . then depletion of this shield leaves cells and organs vulnerable to damage. This cellular and organ damage not only can set the stage for the development of some chronic diseases, but can compromise the body.s ability to churn out glutathione once disease is underway. This sets the stage for a downward spiral of damage-depletion-more-damage-etc. that can exacerbate existing disease and spawn new ones.

Glutathione content in cells and tissues can be increased in several ways, thus helping shore up natural antioxidant defenses. One way is to take compounds that are used to produce glutathione such as N-acetyl-cysteine. Glutathione taken in oral pill or tablet form is typically broken down rapidly into its constituent amino acids, which means it doesn.t help boost glutathione levels in the bloodstream and then cells and tissues. However, glutathione packaged in forms that circumvent this break-down process or which enters the bloodstream quickly from the oral mucosa (mouth tissues) such as THQueen (Click to order) can increase glutathione in cells and tissues.
