Prolonged imbalances in our eating habits, lifestyle (smoking, lack of physical activity) and environmental factors (stress, pollution) attack our cells through several biochemical reactions called oxidation. The oxidation of cells can be compared to the rusting of metals when exposed to air. Prolonged oxidation (called oxidative stress) is associated with chronic inflammation which can cause the appearance of different pathologies ranging from simple disorders such as a decrease in the quality of the skin, flu and colds, to more serious inflammatory diseases such as: cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative and other diseases, as well as aging.
We all experience oxidation in our bodies, it's inevitable, but we can fight it - and one of the best ways to fight it is with the body's most powerful natural antioxidant called Glutathione. (GSH) which is made from 3 amino acids, of which cold-prepared whey from grass-fed cow's milk is particularly rich.
