Science — Glutathione
MTHFR gene, methylation and how they affect glutathione production
Methylation is one of body’s most important processes, happening billions of times every second. However, it is a process mostly unknown to the general population. Increases in genetic and epigenetic research has led to many people discovering they have mutations MTHFR which can reduce their production of glutathione and increase susceptibility to various diseases.
Beauty is more than skin deep...
A saying you’ve no doubt heard over and over again, and there is so much truth to it. Whilst this saying was referring to one’s personality and other internal attributes, it holds true of what we put into our body and not just onto it.

Getting older is a fact of life, though there aren’t so many facts about why it happens. Even without a full understanding of what causes aging, there are some strategies that can be implemented to delay many factors associated with aging.
Detoxification 101
You’ve no doubt heard a lot about detoxification, some of it truth, some that science isn’t clear on yet, and some that is downright incorrect. What is true is that our body has mechanisms in place to detoxify substances in our body, and these mechanisms can be altered via ingestion of certain foods, nutrients and phytochemicals.
The synergistic nutrients you’ll need to create and recycle glutathione
Nutrients are well known for their individual benefits on the body, but they do not work alone. They interact with each other creating a greater effect than they would individually. For the production of glutathione, it is important to consume enough of these building blocks, and also doing so simultaneously.
Oxidative stress as a driver of infertility
How could an insufficiency of two basic nutrients be harming your reproductive system? How could chronic oxidative stress be hindering your reproductive efforts?
The shield against disease: understanding the immune system
The immune system is the body’s defense system against disease causing microorganisms, also known as pathogens. This system is made up of many biological processes and structures, and all have a specific job to protect us against disease.
Inflammation: friend or foe?
Did you know inflammation is an important aspect of our immune response? In a healthy body, it will be triggered and last only for as long as it is required. However, in the presence of oxidative stress, inflammation can become chronic and wreak havoc in the body.
What can glutathione do for your mitochondria?
They are our energy factories, the ‘powerhouses of the cell’. They work tirelessly to produce our energy currency (ATP), but sometimes they can become exhausted and fail. Take a look into the importance of the mitochondria, and what you can do to help them help you.
Understanding glutathione: are supplements the answer?
Glutathione, one of the most important peptides in the body, is responsible for numerous physiological effects; it is known as the body’s most powerful antioxidant, as well as having a role in detoxification and even gene expression. Read more to find out if supplements are the answer to increase glutathione levels inside your cells.
Beyond macronutrients: discovering the health potential of whey protein
What if whey protein could not only help you gain muscle and get stronger, but also protect your cells, enhance detoxification and improve gut and immune function? Here’s what you need to know about undenatured native whey, other popular processing methods and the effects of processing on its nutritional benefits.
Glutathione: The guardian of our cells
Since its discovery in 1888, glutathione has been discovered to have many important functions in our cells and is absolutely key to human health. Learn more about why you should have our Master Antioxidant on your radar, and how you can ensure a stable production of it inside your cells.
