Glutathione and Living Longer

Living Longer

A high blood Glutathione level has been correlated with long life span in elderly human beings (Lang, 2000). The Lang study compared ill to healthy adult humans and demonstrated:

 "A decrease in Glutathione is a risk factor for chronic diseases that may be used to monitor the severity and progress of the diseases". 

As we get older there is a tendency for the antioxidant system to become depleted, but the relationship between Glutathione and antioxidants such as vitamin C, remains constant (Lenton, 2000). 

There is a direct correlation between Glutathione and vitamin C in lymphocyte cells throughout life.

Glutathione levels in blood components can be monitored. Glutathione studies may be a measure of prevention, as well as a monitor of the progress of serious illness (Lang, 2000).



Parkinson’s Disease


Glutathione levels in cells are diminished in Parkinson's disease as well as other neurologic diseases. 


Infusion of Glutathione has been shown to improve many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in a clinical trial (Sechi, 1996). 

While it is not possible to predict reversal of Parkinson's symptoms, many patients have enjoyed improvement after the infusion of Glutathione in two months. 

I have seen improvement with shorter schedules and in combination with nutrient building blocks--article by Tim Guilford MD.
