Gluta What Is That – Glutathione

In one of my conversations about essential oils this is one of the exchanges I had regarding citrus essentail oils, imrpovinving liver function and glutathione production. It starts out with some science stuff but the end of trhis conversation relates to a subtle way to imrove our overall health.

Customer: Why are citrus oils so important oil for the liver?

Gav: One reason is their capacity to help support glutathione production.

Customer: Gluta what? Say that again.

Gav: Glutathione.  Have you ever heard of glutathione?

Customer: Nope.

Gav: Many consider glutathione to be the “Mother Antioxidant of the Body”. Remember that an antioxidant means something that fights against cell damage or rather premature aging and breakdown.”

Customer: So, it sounds like I want more of that.

Gav: We all do!

Glutathione levels tend to drop as we age and it is a very key antioxidant for those like myself seeking to prevent further damage to the liver. Another reason I like supporting glutathione is it may be helpful for protecting against heavy metal toxins.

Age lessens glutathione production as well as stress and an overabundance of toxins entering the body. 

I like citrus oils because of their d-limonene component. D-limonene has been shown to help manage inflammation and oxidative stress. This is part of the reason citrus oils are in our two best-selling detox blends, Liv-Better and Pure Regen.

Possible signs of low glutathione levels could be:

Consistent infections like cold or flu
Trouble managing weight
Chronic Fatigue
Allergies

In reality if I feel I am experiencing more stress than usual I will introduce more citrus oils to the bottom of my feet and topically over my liver with a carrier oil during the daty. Balanced glutathione levels are absolutely key in fighting fatty liver disease and for supporting proper detoxification in the body.

 We created two sets of essential oil trios that highlight the best features of citrus oils
