Glutathione and the Health of Your Eyes and Body

Eye with Open-Angle Glaucoma

Glutathione plays a significant role in the protection of the eyes from oxidative stress, which leads to eye defect and eventually Blindness.

Previous studies have shown that when faced with a lack of glutathione in the eyes, there is a greater chance of Open-Angle Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration and Cataracts.

As we get older, we are unable to see things as clearly and then we need reading glasses. This is called presbyopia. 

Your eyes create glutathione to protect against the oxidation that the sunlight produces according to Dr. Daria Davidson, a board certified medical doctor focusing on holistic medicine with 30 years of practice.

“Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of the reactive oxygen species and the eyes’ biological systems being able to readily detoxify the reactive intermediate and easily repair the resulting damage,” from Wikipedia.

If you have free radicals from oxidative stress, you need an antioxidant to reduce the free radical—an oxidation reduction reaction.

Glutathione donates and extra electron to accomplish this. This reducing environment is preserved by enzymes and components like glutathione that maintain the constant status of metabolic energy which is ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) in the cell. 

Mutation research in 2006 – The Role of Oxidative Stress in Glaucoma “Increasing evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (free radicals” play a key role in pathogenesis (disease) of primary Open-Angle Glaucoma the main cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.”
 
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research in 2003 “The high concentration of glutathione in the lens in believed to protect structural proteins and enzymes for proper biological functioning. 

However , aging lens are under oxidative stress, lens show an extensively diminished size of glutathione pool.



Premature ageing occur as a result of low level of glutathione, the level of this coenzyme decreases when toxins accumulate in the body, but with the help of  glutathione accelerator drugs, the level can be increased.

Glutathione accelerators contains nutrients, herbs and antioxidants that supports and boost the coenzyme production thereby helping it detoxify the body and release the toxins into the blood stream from where they are eliminated by the kidney and liver.

The reaction that detoxifies the body is usually accompanied by symptoms such as  Muscle cramps, dizziness, constipation, brain fog, headaches, sore throat, fever, joint and muscle discomfort.   Other symptoms, that are not associated with detox such as runny nose, hive, shortness of breath are considered allergic, the supplement Should be discontinued when this happens


Cells under particular stress sch as  the liver cells, have a very high amount of glutathione because they are the wash machine of the body.Lungs are also high in glutathione to handle the toxins that we breathe Read more.
