He also explained how Continual-G® is differentiating itself from other glutathione supplements on the market, and why this fast-acting, effective supplement has great potential for the healthy aging, general health and sports nutrition markets. Glutathione is the body’s Master Antioxidant and the subject of more than 7,500 studies this past year alone. Because of the molecule’s significance to health, and because the body’s ability to manufacture glutathione degrades as cells age, much attention is being paid to how to support healthy glutathione levels. "The number of studies done on glutathione is a massive amount for one molecule," said INID Research Lab President Rajan Shah in the article. "There have been correlations between depleted glutathione levels and a whole range of chronic diseases." The article described why, until now, glutathione supplementation has been problematic. The molecule tends to be quickly broken down by extracellular enzymes into its component amino acids. That could still supply cells with the building blocks for endogenous glutathione synthesis but it doesn’t address the degradation of the enzymes responsible for maintaining glutathione homeostasis. Some existing ingredients claim to slightly increase cellular glutathione levels but only after months of supplementation. Shultz told readers about INID Research Lab’s branded ingredient, Glyteine®. The active ingredient in Continual-G®, was shown in a published, peer-reviewed study to substantially increase cellular glutathione levels above basal levels within 90 minutes of supplementation.

Considering the state of the world, that’s quite the feat. Continual-G® contains the active ingredient Glyteine® which has been shown to quickly raise cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis. Glutathione is the body’s first line of defense against free radicals and is vital to supporting brain health. This “master antioxidant” is essential for optimal health and performance which is why both trade and consumer media are excited about this one-of-a-kind supplement Trade publications such as NutraIngredients-USA, Nutraceutical Business Review and Nutrition Insight covered the impressive science supporting Glyteine® and the Continual-G® product launch. Soon thereafter, forward-thinking health magazines picked up on Continual-G®’s far-reaching benefits and included the product in articles about brain health, detoxification and effective exercise programs. Functional medicine expert Bryce Wylde, BSc, DHMHS, even brought Continual-G® to the network television audiences in Chicago, Phoenix and other major cities, including it in interviews about his "BrainSpanners" book. Wylde appreciates that Continual-G® accomplishes what oral glutathione supplements may not be able to do. “Science is revealing that while there is some benefit, most supplements aren’t bioavailable to our bodies. While some of these supplements may get the glutathione into the bloodstream, they don’t get it into the cells where it does much of its work.” Continual-G® is different. “Research has shown that Glyteine® raises the cellular levels of glutathione rapidly, within an hour or two. Taking it on a regular basis may help your body be better prepared to manage the toxins we’re all exposed to on a daily basis,” he explained. - **author.name**: Gaurav Kadam - **dateModified**: 2025-05-14T05:09:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-08T05:10:26-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/03_65843a65-d054-414e-9081-450bd151e823.jpg?v=1747739593&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Unlock Glutathione Function to Transform your Body] (https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/glutathione-function-how-this-antioxidant-can-transform-your-health): Discover how glutathione, the body's most potent antioxidant, safeguards cells from oxidative stress and various diseases. Learn its transformative functions and how it supports cellular health. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: In the intricate dance of cellular health, there exists a silent guardian: glutathione, the body's most potent antioxidant. This tripeptide molecule, crafted from the amino acids glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, is more than just a chemical compound—it has transformative functions that safeguard our cells from oxidative stress, thereby enhancing the protection of the body’s organs. Origins of Glutathione Glutathione is synthesized within our cells and is found in all tissue, with particularly high concentrations in the liver, kidneys, brain, and heart. Its ubiquity underscores its essential role in maintaining cellular health. As we age, the capacity of our cells to synthesize glutathione declines and when we become ill our cells are exposed to increased streams of oxidants (free radicals) from disease-induced metabolic dysfunction. Not making enough glutathione when we actually need more leads to cellular oxidative stress, which disrupts the physiological function of the cells and their associated tissue and organs. This all manifests as symptoms. Antioxidant Role Oxidative stress is a perpetual threat to cellular function. It occurs when the body's natural balance between free radical production and antioxidant defense is disrupted. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids, leading to aging and various diseases. Here, glutathione comes into play. As a powerful antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals by donating electrons to stabilize them. This process not only protects the cell but also helps maintain the integrity of mitochondrial function, which is crucial for cellular energy supply. Mitochondrial Protection Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, generating most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used as a source of chemical energy. However, mitochondria are also highly susceptible to oxidative damage. Research has shown that glutathione plays a vital role in keeping mitochondria healthy by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential. Immune System Support Glutathione also has a significant role in the immune system. It enhances the function of immune cells such as macrophages and T-cells, helping them fight off infections more effectively. Additionally, glutathione helps detoxify harmful substances like heavy metals and pesticides, thereby supporting the body's natural detoxification processes. Neuroprotective Properties The brain is one of the most sensitive tissues to oxidative stress. Several researchers have found correlations between neurodegenerative diseases and depleted glutathione levels in the brain. Many of the researchers have speculated that raising the brain’s glutathione levels above homeostasis may provide benefits to people experiencing neurodegeneration. Clinical Implications Low levels of glutathione have been associated with a broad range of chronic health conditions. Researchers have expressed the view that only when cellular glutathione levels are above homeostasis can the excess ROS be neutralized and the benefits realized. Dietary Sources and Lifestyle Interventions While our body’s cells synthesize glutathione, dietary components can only help them maintain basal (homeostatic) levels. By understanding the cellular biochemistry of glutathione, the sequential two-step synthesis of glutathione, including the regulation of homeostasis by feedback inhibition exerted by glutathione on the production of the intermediate, gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC) becomes apparent. The only current option for increasing cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis is supplementation with Glyteine ®, a proprietary form of GGC. While we often focus on more visible aspects of health—like exercise routines or medication regimens—it is essential to acknowledge the synergistic effect that glutathione provides to medications for improving health outcomes. By recognizing these unsung heroes of biology, we may uncover new avenues for improving our lives through a deeper appreciation of their functions.

Discover essential foods and lifestyle changes to combat oxidative stress and support overall well-being! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Glutathione, often referred to as the "master antioxidant," is a vital component in the body's defense against oxidative stress. This silent saboteur can unravel our health from the inside out, yet restoring glutathione to basal levels is surprisingly straightforward. As we age, our natural production of glutathione declines, and poor diet, stress, environmental toxins, aging and illness further compromise its levels. However, by incorporating simple yet potent strategies into our daily routines, we can empower our bodies to fight off cell damage and enhance overall well-being. Importance of Glutathione Glutathione plays a critical role in cellular health by acting as a detoxifier, neutralizing free radicals and alleviating oxidative stress that can damage cells and contribute to various diseases. As we age, glutathione at basal levels is just not enough Every cell in our bodies must maintain basal levels of glutathione for us to survive. Glutathione neutralizes free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by normal respiratory processes as well as those that we encounter from the environment or produce during ill health. As we age, the capacity of our cells to synthesise glutathione declines and when we become ill our cells are exposed to increased streams of oxidants (free radicals) from disease induced metabolic dysfunction. This not making enough glutathione when we actually need more leads to cellular oxidative stress, which disrupts the physiological function of the cells and their associated tissue and organs. This all manifests as symptoms. Dietary Interventions Dietary choices are one way to help maintain basal glutathione levels. Though, consuming sulfur-rich foods, particularly cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale, may provide the cysteine we need for glutathione production, they will not help our cells produce glutathione above basal (homeostatic) levels. Supplements and Natural Boosters While dietary and lifestyle changes are desirable, there is only one ingredient that can raise cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis, and that is the dipeptide Gamma-glutamyl cysteine, the immediate precursor to glutathione. The proprietary form of this dipeptide, Glyteine®, is available only in the Continual-G® range of supplements. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is another ingredient that is used to provide cysteine for conversion to glutathione. However, it can only help cells maintain basal glutathione levels. In addition, the Western diet is rich in cysteine, and supplementing cysteine via NAC will be inherently of little benefit. Environmental Considerations Environmental factors also play a significant role in maintaining basal glutathione levels. Exposure to pollutants and toxins can deplete glutathione stores rapidly. Ensuring a clean environment by using air purifiers, reducing exposure to pesticides, and minimizing contact with heavy metals can help preserve glutathione's protective effects. Age-related declining glutathione production capacity and elevated exposure to free radicals from illness-associated metabolic dysfunction, means to maintain or achieve good health we must boost our cellular glutathione above basal levels. This can be only achieved with the Continual-G® range of supplements that contain Glyteine®. In today's fast-paced world filled with environmental toxins and internal metabolic challenges, maintaining optimal glutathione levels is more crucial than ever. By learning about the steps needed to boost glutathione levels above homeostasis, you can take proactive steps toward preserving cellular health and protecting your cells against the myriad of chronic health issues associated with oxidative stress. By making mindful choices—dietary, lifestyle, and supplement-wise—you can fortify your body against age-related decline and set yourself up for a future filled with vitality and resilience.

Learn how boosting cellular glutathione with Glyteine® can protect & support cells. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Embracing vigorous exercise holds a myriad of benefits for our well-being including torching calories, sculpting muscles, enhancing cardiovascular health, revving up the metabolism, and beyond. However, like everything else in life, there are also drawbacks. While free radicals (such as reactive oxygen species – ROS) are natural byproducts of metabolism, their overproduction during intense workouts can also have adverse effects on the athlete. The body's antioxidant defense system normally counters ROS, maintaining balance. However, during prolonged or rigorous exercise, this equilibrium is disrupted as the body struggles to produce sufficient antioxidants to counter the faster generation of ROS, triggering the phenomenon commonly known as oxidative stress. Oxidative stress undermines cellular health and recovery, exerting adverse effects contrary to the intended benefits of exercise. Fortunately, nature has provided a solution – the master antioxidant -glutathione. Since oxidative stress is generated inside cells, only glutathione present inside cells can neutralize oxidative stress - hence the need for elevated CELLULAR GLUTATHIONE levels. EFFECT OF OXIDATIVE STRESS ON ATHLETIC RECOVERY Athletes engaging in intense or prolonged physical activity are particularly susceptible to oxidative stress due to the heightened production of ROS. Damage to muscles: It can impair muscle function and recovery, leading to prolonged soreness, stiffness, and fatigue. It can affect muscle strength and endurance. Decreased performance & inflammation:Additionally, oxidative damage to tissues can increase the risk of injuries, decrease exercise performance, and delay overall recovery times between workouts. Chronic health issues:Furthermore, chronic oxidative stress has been linked to various serious and chronic health issues. BUILDING A SHIELD AGAINST OXIDATIVE STRESS Glutathione is made inside cells from three amino acids by two sequential reactions. The first joins cysteine and glutamate to form gamma-glutamylcysteine (Glyteine) and the second adds glycine to form glutathione. To mitigate the adverse effects of oxidative stress, athletes need a supplement that can help them maintain adequate levels of cellular glutathione to neutralize exercise-induced excess ROS production. Of glutathione's three amino acids, cysteine is the first one to run out when demand is high. Until now the only options previously available to athletes were NAC and glutathione supplements which can provide the cysteine needed for cells to make glutathione as fast as they can. But this may still be too slow to fight a tidal wave of free radicals arising from extreme exercise and oxidative stress will still occur, as does some damage. Glyteine® is a breakthrough product, and being the immediate precursor to glutathione, it has the unique ability to increase cellular glutathione levels above normal (homeostasis). This means you can use Glyteine® to provide your cells with a larger pool of glutathione before you begin your exercise, which can help you avoid cellular oxidative stress, support your energy levels, and mitigate muscle damage. CONTINUAL-G® WITH GLYTEINE – THE ONLY SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN WAY TO BOOST CELLULAR GLUTATHIONE Continual-G® is the only supplement with the power of Glyteine® which can rapidly boost cellular glutathione levels with a single dose. Including Continual-G® in pre-workout and post-workout athletic routines has proven to show faster workout recovery and to reduce long-term damage from intense workouts. Athletes pushing their bodies need the support of Continual-G® to increase their fitness and performance to the optimal level. Glyteine® is Informed-Sport certified, meaning it is approved for use in competitive sports as this Super nutrient should be.

Learn its anti-aging benefits and boost your fitness routine with this powerful antioxidant. Optimize your athletic longevity today! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: In the world of high-performance athletics, where longevity and recovery are paramount, a growing number of fitness enthusiasts and professional athletes are looking for supplements that can boost their cellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in every cell of our bodies and is responsible for mopping up the large numbers of free radicals our muscle and heart cells produce during exercise. This naturally occurring molecule, often referred to as the "master antioxidant,” plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular health by protecting cells against damaging oxidative stress. For those seeking to optimize their fitness routines and extend their active years, understanding the role of glutathione in exercise recovery is essential. Basics of Glutathione Glutathione (GSH) is composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. It is synthesized within cells and acts as a primary defense mechanism against oxidative stress, which occurs when the body produces more free radicals than it can neutralize. Free radicals can damage cellular components like DNA, proteins, and lipids, leading to cellular dysfunction and premature aging. By neutralizing these harmful molecules, glutathione helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Importance of Glutathione for Exercise When individuals engage in physical activity, their bodies need more energy to fuel their muscles and cardiovascular system. This energy is provided by the mitochondria that reside within our cells through a process termed oxidative phosphorylation that requires oxygen and glucose (or other energy containing nutrients). This process releases energy to drive our muscles and produces water, carbon dioxide, and some free radicals (reactive oxygen species, ROS). The more cardio exercise we do the more oxygen we need and the more ROS we produce, which must be neutralised by glutathione to avoid oxidative stress. This oxidative stress can impair muscle function, reduce endurance, and slow recovery times. However, boosting our cells' glutathione levels with its immediate precursor, gamma-glutamylcysteine, can mitigate these effects. Athletes who take supplements boosting cellular glutathione before exercise can experience improvement in their muscle function. Vitamins and Supplements: Enhancing Glutathione Levels Dietary sources of gamma-glutamylcysteine are primarily foods like whey protein, egg whites and garlic. However, their concentrations are too low to provide the large boosts in cellular glutathione that is required to fight off the excess ROS produced during extreme cardio exercise. Currently, the only commercially available supplement that contains concentrated gamma-glutamylcysteine is the Continual-G® brand which incorporates Glyteine®, the proprietary form of gamma-glutamylcysteine. Glutathione is termed the master antioxidant as it is responsible for recycling other cellular antioxidants such as; Vitamin C: Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits, berries, fresh meat, and leafy greens. Vitamin E: Another antioxidant that works synergistically with glutathione to neutralize free radicals. Nuts like almonds and sunflower seeds are good sources of vitamin E. The Anti-Aging Regimen of a Fitness Pro For those interested in combining these elements to create an effective anti-aging regimen with exercise, several key strategies emerge: Supplementation Consider adding supplements containing Glyteine® such as Continual-G® on a daily basis. Ensure adequate intake of vitamins C and E through diet or supplements if necessary. Exercise Routine Engage in regular physical activity tailored to your fitness level but avoid overtraining. Rest and Recovery Allow adequate time for rest between workouts allowing homoeostatic glutathione levels to replenish. Consider incorporating recovery techniques like foam rolling or massage therapy after intense sessions. Typical Case Study: A Fitness Pro's Approach Picture this! A renowned fitness trainer who has been practicing this regimen for years: She emphasizes the importance of maintaining high levels of antioxidants through diet and supplements during her rigorous training sessions. Her typical day includes consuming a sachet of Continual-G® which when added to water, converts to a lemon-lime-flavoured beverage before workouts. This is followed by post-workout hydration sessions featuring a Continual-G® capsule taken with coconut water enriched with vitamin C powder. "I make sure my clients understand that while intense exercise is essential for overall health, it's equally important to support their bodies' natural defenses against oxidative stress through proper nutrition."

Contributing writer Laura Furr Mericas interviewed INID Research Pr **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: When you're the only company in the world to make a game-changing ingredient, it's gratifying when the media showers praise on your work. InnovationMap recently shined the spotlight on INID Research Lab as an innovative leader in the Houston community. Contributing writer Laura Furr Mericas interviewed INID Research President Rajan Shah for her article, “Houston lab develops game-changing supplement for cell health.” Shah explained why the company's patented ingredient Glyteine®, produced in the Houston suburb of Cypress, represents a significant change in the multi-million dollar glutathione dietary supplement industry. "The fact that the only way to increase cellular glutathione is with Glyteine® has been known for almost 40 years," Shah said. "The problem is how to make it in a way which becomes cost effective so that it can be sold and people can afford to buy it." This naturally occurring molecule, entirely new to the market, is the result of 20 years of collaborative work by a group of Australian biochemical scientists and engineers. The article takes readers through the challenging process of how Glyteine® was ultimately brought into production in the Houston area in the finished drink mix product, Continual-G®. Today, some quarter of a million servings of Continual-G® are produced each month. Research has shown that Glyteine® has the game-changing ability to quickly raise glutathione levels in our cells, where it is most needed. Its singular ability to cross cell membranes and raise glutathione levels above their set point (homeostasis) could have major significance for human health.

Do glutathione supplements, IV glutathione therapy, and serums really work? **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Once we cross our 30s, in our quest to maintain a youthful appearance, we often turn to an array of skincare products flooding the market. From serums to moisturizers to glutathione supplements and IV glutathione therapy – there are a range of products that claim to improve our complexion. But do they really work?! Skin health, is in fact, the same as cell health! So, to improve skin health, we need to maintain great cell health. There is no evidence to show that glutathione when consumed directly - in the form of supplements, IV, or when applied to the skin directly in the form of creams, lotions, and serums - has any efficacy on the body’s cellular glutathione levels! WHY CONTINUAL-G®? Only Glyteine® can increase glutathione levels in skin cells. Only Continual-G® supplements contain Glyteine and hence provide a visible difference in skin radiance. Healthier-looking skin Lightens age spots Improved complexion Better skin hydration Try Continual-G® today for great cell health and visibly improved skin health! Frequently asked questions about Glutathione and skin health WHAT IS THE ROLE OF GLUTATHIONE IN SKIN HEALTH Glutathione is your body’s master antioxidant and though it is naturally produced in every cell of your body, the levels drop when you are exposed to external factors like UV rays. In addition, the glutathione levels naturally drop with age. Hence, to experience great skin health, it is essential to maintain elevated glutathione levels. WHY DOESN’T GLUTATHIONE INTAKE REALLY HELP SKIN HEALTH?!Glutathione intake has no effect on the glutathione concentration inside the cells, which is where you need it the most.Learn more: https://www.continualg.com/glutathione-myth CAN TOPICAL APPLICATION HELP INCREASE GLUTATHIONE?Topical applications for skin like serums, lotions, and creams containing glutathione have been found to be ineffective in providing the expected benefits since glutathione is unstable in these due to the presence of water. HOW EFFECTIVE IS IV GLUTATHIONE FOR THE SKIN? Studies show that IV glutathione is ineffective and can be toxic. WHAT MAKES GLYTEINE EFFECTIVE?In simple terms, our cells produce glutathione through a two-step process. The first step produces Glyteine, and the second step converts Glyteine to glutathione. As we age, the first step becomes less active, which compromises glutathione production. By directly supplying our cells with Glyteine, we can effectively bypass this first step and boost their glutathione to healthier levels. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2025-05-17T01:11:57-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-17T01:11:58-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Learn_how_to_maintain_your_skin_health_as_you_age_359c0738-51e8-4b77-8e5c-6e8f6baf7c46.jpg?v=1749462113&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Glutathione myths vs the facts | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/glutathione-myths-vs-the-facts): Break the glutathione myths! Why direct intake of glutathione via food and supplements don't work? Explore facts about glutathione the master antioxidant! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: The internet – a maze of disinformation Search for a topic – any topic – on the internet, and you are likely to find a vast selection of information. Much of this information will appear to be contradictory; some may agree and, then again, some will just be a lure for advertisements or mislead you to another site. We've all been there. But how does all this information get out there? Well, many people are not aware that the internet is neither regulated nor censored. Any person can post information online because it was initially designed to be like that: An exchange of information based on beliefs. But as the internet matured and became mainstream, it was supposed to be a repository of knowledge, an encyclopedia on every topic imaginable, and instantly searchable. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be. The ability to make money from content has spurned a vast industry of disinformation. Often, this may just be harmless beliefs, opinions, or well-meant sharing of non-factual content. On the other hand, it may be outright deceptive and falsehoods cloaked in "official" looking websites. The purpose is not to educate anymore, but to make money through advertising or selling products and services that don't meet expectations. Of course, there are many reputable sites that adhere to the truth on the internet. When it comes to facts about glutathione supplementation, it has also become increasingly challenging to filter the truth from the hype. Fortunately, misinformation about increasing glutathione is usually based on long-held beliefs and entrenched opinions rather than straight out deception. But, regardless, when these beliefs contradict established science, we end up in a situation where the consumer is fed myths rather than facts. So, let's dispel some of the common myths you will encounter in your search for effective glutathione supplementation, including: Glutathione as a supplement in its many marketed forms N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and other cysteine pro-drugs Food sources and herbal remedies The myth of supplementing with glutathione The most heavily touted way to increase glutathione on the web is, of course, glutathione itself. It makes sense and is easily explained. To make glutathione even more attractive to unwitting consumers, it is often rebranded in scientific-sounding jargon, including: Liposomal Intranasal Sublingual Intravenous Nebulized Transdermal But these fancy terms are just hiding the fact that there is nothing easy about glutathione supplementation. They are also hiding the fact that glutathione, no matter how it is delivered, is just that: Glutathione! But the science is clear about the fact that taking glutathione to increase our cellular glutathione stores does not work. To understand this is complex, but we can break it down into a few simple facts: Glutathione can only perform its many vital functions inside our cells The benefits of glutathione for optimal health are undisputed. We often hear the term "Master Antioxidant" associated with glutathione, and this is absolutely true. It has many other essential benefits, too, some of which you can read in our other blogs. Glutathione: An athlete’s best friend Glyteine®'s role in detoxifying the by-products of cellular energy production But for glutathione to work, it must be inside our cells, and this turns out to be a big problem when trying to increase glutathione with glutathione itself or in any of the forms listed above Taking glutathione cannot enter our cells This is a fact conveniently ignored by the glutathione supplement industry. But glutathione is a cellular antioxidant, a cellular detoxifier and a cellular assistant of energy production. It is simply not effective outside the cell. Glutathione, including glutathione in its many disguised forms, however, cannot enter cells for one very specific reason: The concentration gradient problem Glutathione taken orally or in any other form will end up in our blood plasma but will not be absorbed by our cells. This is because the concentration of glutathione inside our cells is always higher than outside. Picture one of our cells as a blown-up balloon and the air as glutathione. Glutathione will never be able to go inside because the concentration, or in this imaginary picture, the pressure, is much higher inside the balloon than outside. Since glutathione is naturally produced inside our cells, our body has therefore not developed a need or method for it to be absorbed from the blood. The myth of supplementing with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) Countless websites and products are promoting NAC as the miracle way of increasing glutathione. But is this reputation deserved? To find out, let's first look at where this reputation actually originated from. NAC only has one medically registered purpose: It is an antidote to acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose. This grave condition, unfortunately often intentional, severely depletes all of the body's stores of cellular glutathione resulting in organ failure induced by oxidative stress. In this case, NAC works by quickly supplying our cells with cysteine, one of the first building blocks of cellular glutathione production. This is also true in the case of severe malnutrition. That is good news, but how does this apply to ordinary people wishing to simply enhance their glutathione? Unfortunately, it doesn't. Cysteine is a very common amino acid that we get from our everyday food. Our body can also make its own in the liver. Therefore, the ordinary person is never deficient in cysteine and has no need for ingesting more by taking NAC or any of the other cysteine-containing prodrugs available. Websites promoting NAC will tell you that it is an essential building block of glutathione, and this is not in dispute by any means. However, what they don't tell you is the very fact that we do not need an extra supply of cysteine in our normal everyday lives. And NAC, despite its fancy name, is just a form of cysteine. There have been countless studies on NAC's effect on glutathione production in otherwise healthy individuals, but none have been successful in showing a beneficial increase in cellular glutathione. Food sources and herbal remedies The world has caught onto the fact that glutathione is incredibly important to our health. We also know that many medical conditions, toxins in our environment, lifestyle choices such as excessive alcohol and smoking as well as strenuous exercise can lower cellular glutathione levels. As a result, many well-meaning websites promote natural glutathione containing foods and herbal remedies from broccoli to milk thistle. But do they actually have a meaningful effect on our cellular glutathione levels? Unfortunately not! The reasons for this are quite simple. First of all, the amount of glutathione these foods and herbs contain is tiny and has no beneficial impact on cellular glutathione. And secondly, we explained that taking a glutathione supplement will not increase cellular glutathione due to its inability to enter cells. The glutathione from foods and other remedies faces the same problem. Do not shy away from these otherwise healthy foods, but do not expect them to be of use as a glutathione enhancing solution. Fact: Glyteine® does promote cellular glutathione production We now understand that supplementing our cellular glutathione is not as straight forward as the marketing hype on the internet has us believe. But fortunately, we now have Glyteine® available in Continual-G®, which has been clinically proven to enter cells where it is immediately converted to glutathione. So, we can now separate myth from fact and be confident in supporting our cellular glutathione production rapidly and in a single dose. Based on sound scientific evidence, Glyteine®'s reputation for enhancing cellular glutathione safely and quickly is unrivalled. This is the Continual-G® advantage. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2025-05-07T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:38:55-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Glutathione_myths_vs_the_facts_de015a01-531e-46a5-bb87-039f02c6eb56.jpg?v=1749461820&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [The Word On Amino Acids | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/the-word-on-amino-acids): Learn more on amino acids. Why taking products with amino acids doesn’t help glutathione levels? Find a glutathione dietary supplement that actually works. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: and why taking them to increase glutathione is a futile strategy Before we delve into the world of amino acids, here is a little spoiler. Glutathione is made up of amino acids, three of them in fact: Cysteine, Glutamic Acid and Glycine. You may have known this, but here is what you didn't know: Taking any of those amino acids in the hope of increasing cellular glutathione is nothing but wishful thinking. So why are there so many products on the market that contain these amino acids and claim they can increase glutathione? Well, it's just clever marketing: If you take the building blocks of glutathione, surely it will stimulate glutathione production. To strengthen the argument, you will find fancy names for essentially the same thing, making it all sound very scientific. But it is not that simple, so let's find out why. What are Amino Acids? Most of us are familiar with vitamins and their importance for our health. We are also aware that many, such as Vitamin C, need to come from our food and are known as "essential". Others are synthesized by the body and are therefore "non-essential", like Vitamin D for example. Amino Acids share these classifications; however, we are much less familiar with their names and their roles in our wellbeing. Amino Acids are essential components of the proteins in our body. We have thousands of different proteins that serve specific functions and are the structural make up of our cells, tissues, and many enzymes and hormones. Proteins are also a vital tool for our immune system to protect us from bacteria and viruses. Typically, a protein comprises many hundreds of amino acids in a specific sequence unique to each protein. These sequences are like a language known as the Genetic Code, which is a part of our genes. Whilst tiny variations in our genes make each individual unique, the genetic code containing the instruction to make proteins is identical in almost all forms of life. It is now easy to understand why amino acids are called the "Building Blocks of Life". The 21 Amino Acids Part of our body's continual renewal process involves the repair and replacement of proteins. To achieve this, we need a steady supply of amino acids. Most forms of life need 21, and, just like vitamins, some amino acids are essential and need to be consumed in the form of proteins. These are then broken down into amino acids during digestion. The other amino acids are produced by the body and therefore do not have to come from our diet. Figure 1 shows the 21 amino acids categorized by their classification as either essential or non-essential. Figure 1. The building blocks of glutathione Glutathione is a protein, albeit a small one called a tripeptide, because it consists of only three amino acids. Let's look at our table of amino acids again, this time highlighting the three amino acids that combine in our cells to form glutathione (figure 2). Figure 2 We now understand that glutathione is made up of Cysteine, Glutamic Acid and Glycine, but there is a very important detail that often goes unnoticed: All three amino acids that combine to make glutathione are non-essential Our body produces all three, so there is no need to supplement them. You may have heard that two of these amino acids, Cysteine and Glycine, are classified as "Conditionally essential", meaning they may need supplementation in certain conditions. But this is limited to people with severe liver disease or premature infants, so don't waste your money. Flawed strategies Let's discuss the four popular supplements on the market that claim to increase cellular glutathione: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) Despite its rather extravagant name, NAC (or any other cysteine-based prodrug) is just a form of Cysteine. We have already discussed clever marketing ploys, and this is no different. The basic biochemistry of glutathione is not swayed by fancy terminology. You now understand that Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid, so taking more will not increase cellular glutathione. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed this https://www.glyteine.com/can-n-acetylcysteine-nac-supplements-increase-cellular-glutathione/ Glutathione While it may seem logical to take glutathione, there is a straightforward explanation for why this doesn’t work. Glutathione cannot enter our cells, and any glutathione we consume, inject, inhale or whatever else creative marketing may claim, is just broken down outside the cell. This is a scientific certainty and therefore a futile strategy. If you are interested in the science, you can find out more https://www.glyteine.com/can-glutathione-supplements-increase-cellular-glutathione/ Combination supplements If you need further proof of this, have a look at the variety of combination supplements. After all, more must be better. If NAC or glutathione are so effective on their own as claimed, why the need to combine them? Or even add more non-essential amino acids to the mix? A “patented blend of amino acids” is just as ineffective in increasing cellular glutathione as any of them on their own and is just another desperate attempt to have you part with your money. The fact that they are non-essential is conveniently ignored in marketing literature. Whey protein concentrates Once again manufactures of this value-added waste by-product from the manufacture of cheese would have us believe that we are in some way deficient in the non-essential amino acids that digesting this protein can give us. A lot of their advertising seems to be focused how “specially prepared” their product is and on perpetuating the myth that our diets are deficient in cysteine. Read more here. https://www.glyteine.com/can-n-acetylcysteine-nac-supplements-increase-cellular-glutathione/ The next level: A glutathione supplement that actually works Glutathione depletion and the associated oxidative stress is a real problem. Many factors can cause glutathione levels to fall, and a more detailed explanation can be found at https://www.glyteine.com/glutathione-depletion/. To understand how we can effectively raise our cellular glutathione levels, we first need to know what the problem actually is. It has nothing to do with the lack of individual amino acids, but rather how our cell's enzymes combine them to make glutathione. Or, more specifically, how one of these enzymes starts to fail with age or persistent illness. Glyteine® is the body's natural precursor to glutathione (see figure 3) and the only product on the market that can efficiently raise cellular glutathione by bypassing this defective enzyme. It has been developed explicitly for this purpose and has been shown to be safe and effective in a clinical trial. Figure 3.

Role of glutathione in optimal functioning of immune system. How Glyteine restores cellular glutathione levels. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Why do we need an immune system? Our bodies are constantly under attack from potentially harmful invaders. Whether it be bacteria, viruses, fungi, or even our own cells gone rogue, we need a robust system to deal with these threats. And it turns out we actually have two, which combined, are commonly referred to as the immune system. A formidable fortress But why do we need two? Well, think of our body as a mighty armed fortress surrounded by a wide moat. Under attack, this moat, so to speak, becomes the first line of defense which only a few can cross. This is called “Innate Immunity”. However, our invading forces can be highly creative, and some are able to cross the moat. To deal with them, we have developed a more fine-tuned system, just like our fortress's armament. This armament consists of a variety of defensive weapons that can do more than just shoot indiscriminately. This part of the immune system, called “Adaptive Immunity”, learns how to recognize invaders many years afterwards and can therefore mount a faster and more effective response if faced with the same enemy again. But it has yet another trick up its sleeve. Should the threat to the fortress come from within, the weapons of the adaptive immune system can turn inwards and quickly neutralize that risk, too. Internal threats are common and, if left unchecked, can develop into a range of diseases, but most commonly, cancer. Most importantly, innate and adaptive immunity work closely together. Let’s have a look at both systems in a little more detail. Innate Immunity Innate or non-specific immunity is our first line of defense and consists of: Skin and mucous membranes Scavenger cells, Natural Killer cells, and Enzymes These work together to protect us from: Foreign bodies Infection due to injury Pathogens Our skin and mucous membranes form a closed surface, or physical barrier, which stops germs from entering our body. In addition to that, there are chemical substances and enzymes that prevent bacteria and viruses from gaining a foothold. Sweat and tears are perfect examples of these substances. Our lungs and bowel have developed very delicate hair-like structures that serve to deter invaders as well. Should these defenses fail, the innate immune system can activate scavenger cells that quickly move to the site of an infection. These special type of white blood cells literally engulf germs and digest them. Enzymes facilitate this process by “marking” foreign cells for destruction and alerting other immune system cells. The third and final key component of the innate immune system is Natural Killer cells and they identify cells infected by a virus. These killer cells also help the adaptive immune system identify and destroy cancerous cells by detecting abnormalities on a cell’s surface. Adaptive Immunity If the innate immune system fails to deter an invader, the adaptive immune system springs into action. Whereas the innate immune system does not target anything specific, the adaptive immune system can directly identify germs and provide a more targeted response. In addition, it can also remember invaders and respond much faster next time it encounters them. This explains why we only get sick with certain illnesses once and how vaccines “teach” the adaptive immune system how to recognize bacteria or viruses without previously having encountered them. Adaptive immunity has three lines of defense: B-cells T-cells Antibodies B-cells and T-cells are also called lymphocytes because they are part of our bodies' complex lymphatic system. B-cells are produced in our bone marrow, whereas T-cells are made in the thymus, a small gland situated between your lungs. Interestingly, the thymus is at its most active early in life and slowly shrinks after puberty becoming virtually non-existent after age 75. This explains why we get more susceptible to infections, cancer and autoimmune diseases as we get older. T-cells come in two forms called “helper” and “killer” T-cells. Helper T-cells use a form of chemical messaging that activates both B-cells and Killer T-cells. These Killer T-cells directly attack already infected cells, whereas B-cells activate antibodies. Antibodies are proteins produced for a specific invading bacteria or virus which they lock onto, marking it for destruction by other immune cells. They are made in large quantities quickly and circulate in our bloodstream seeking out the specific intruder they were produced for. The brilliant part of this system lies in its ability to form a memory of invading bacteria and viruses. During an attack, some Helper T-cells, as well as B-cells, transform into “Memory Cells”. When the same invader is encountered again, even many years afterwards, these memory cells remember the specific configuration of the attacking cells and are able to produce a much faster and targeted response. Like a complex dance, the adaptive immune system uses its formidable defenses to not only seek out and destroy specific invaders, but also recognize and neutralize our body’s own cells that have begun to transform into cancer cells. But the actions of our immune system also has consequences. Glutathione – the great detoxifier As incredibly complex and powerful our immune system responses are, they perform their bacterial, viral and cancer cell killing functions by generating large amounts of free radicals. And they are highly toxic. Glutathione, in its role as the master antioxidant, serves as an effective control of free radicals. It is therefore crucial in keeping our immune system functioning optimally. However, the pace of free radical generation can often outstrip the cellular production of glutathione leading to a cascade of oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue damage. Especially in the aged and those enduring chronic disease, glutathione production can suffer. But even in healthy and younger individuals, there are situations where the optimal concentration of cellular glutathione is compromised. These can include stress, exercise, toxins from the environment as well as smoking and alcohol. Keeping cellular glutathione optimal Maintaining our cellular glutathione at optimal levels is vital for our general health and immune system function. But doing so can be a challenge as glutathione enhancing supplements do little to support glutathione production in our cells where it is needed. But there is one ingredient that has been clinically proven to do so safely and fast. The Glyteine® in Continual-G® enters our cells and is immediately converted to glutathione. This ensures optimal cellular glutathione levels in all individuals. Glyteine® is unique in this ability of all the supplements on the market claiming to do so and is therefore essential for a trouble-free immune system. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-05-03T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:36:17-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Two_immune_systems_one_common_goal_0319f9b4-a0d6-4a72-9f6f-a385ae29c551.jpg?v=1749212585&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Continual-G® : The Market Leader In Creating An Optimum Product For Optimum Health | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/continual-g-the-market-leader-in-creating-an-optimum-product-for-optimum-health): Why choose Continual-G? Continual-G® contains Glyteine which is the only supplement to restore cellular glutathione and is informed sport certified. Learn more **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Offering an optimum product for achieving optimum health is what we pride ourselves on most. This is because we want our customers (people like yourself) to have the trust and confidence that they’re taking a supplement that does what it says it will do. And that is to rapidly increase your cellular levels of glutathione so that you can continue living life like you mean it. Creating such a product has taken extensive time and research, not to mention a lot of love and hard work. And it makes us so delighted to be able to offer Continual-G® to you. In this blog post, we will be covering what makes us the market leader in creating an optimum supplement, including the 20 plus years of research and development, the superpower ingredient of Glyteine, our Informed Sport Certification and most importantly sharing real results from real people. Biggest Breakthrough in 100 Years Continual–G came about from extensive research and development over the course of more than 20 years. What started out in 1997 as one scientist looking at simple baker’s yeast turned into the most important nutritional breakthrough in the last 100 years. You may be wondering what baker’s yeast has got to do with our supplement and how it came about. Well, baker’s yeast is a rich source of glutathione. In fact, most glutathione in dietary supplements is now produced from yeast. But strange as it may seem, glutathione supplements are not the solution when your cellular glutathione stores are being depleted. What actually is being depleted is your levels of Glyteine, which is the essential precursor for the production of glutathione. Glutathione supplements, like NAC cannot bolster your glutathione reserves to help protect you against the oxidative stress brought on by exercise workouts and many, if not most health ailments. And this is why (in a very simplified version) our branded ingredient Glyteine was created and what greatly contributes to us being the market leader in effectiveness when it comes to Continual-G. To read the full story of how Continual-G® came about, click here. Glyteine® Continuing on with our powerful ingredient Glyteine®, it’s crucial that we let you in on why it is so important in our supplements and the role it plays in increasing cellular glutathione levels in the body. As we mentioned above, the Glyteine present in Continual-G® is a natural precursor, or building block, of glutathione. Glyteine can enter our cells and immediately boost their glutathione levels, no other nutrient-based ingredient no matter what is suggested in their marketing literature can do this. Some may be able to restore glutathione levels but only Glyteine can boost them, and boosting is what you need when you are exercising, getting old or not well. Remember it is inside your cells, where glutathione does most of its work! We know that glutathione is the ‘Master Antioxidant’ - see our blog post What is Glutathione? for more details. However, did you know that Glyteine is also an antioxidant in its own right? So regardless of the glutathione levels in our cells, Glyteine can take over glutathione’s protective functions all on its own, which is pretty impressive if we do say so ourselves. *Again, we don’t mean to brag but there is no doubt this continues to reinforce why we’re the market leader when it comes to glutathione* Informed Sport Certified Glyteine offers a number of potential health benefits, including improved athletic performance and faster muscle recovery and endurance. Our recent Informed Sport Certification testifies to the many advantages that Glyteine provides in sports generally and even more specifically to elite athletes. Having this certification means that participants in all athletic and sporting events can confidently use Continual-G® products and experience the benefits of increased cellular glutathione. This certification certainly continues to show why we’re the market leader when it comes to creating an optimum product for achieving optimum health.

It is well established that glutathione taken orally does not increase glutathione inside our cells. The science on this subject is quite clear. To overcome this limitation, glutathione supplement suppliers have introduced novel delivery systems, such as liposomal, intranasal, sublingual or intravenous, to convince us that their way is best. This blog focuses on liposomal glutathione and why it may not live up to expectations. Liposomal delivery of some poorly absorbed vitamins is a popular trend as it claims to increase their bioavailability. This may be true for some vitamins, but glutathione is in an entirely different category. As a supplement, glutathione is well known for having very poor to almost no bioavailability when taken orally or intravenously. It is therefore not surprising to see supplement vendors offering liposomal glutathione as the new miracle way of delivering it. To be fair, their thinking has merit. After all, it has already been established that delivering glutathione to the inside of the cell is vitally important because glutathione performs all its important roles as our master antioxidant inside the cell, not outside. And since there is no naturally occurring molecular transport system for glutathione to move from our blood plasma to inside our cells, taking it orally, nasally or by injection has very little effect. Before examining the reason why liposomal delivery of glutathione is just as ineffective as glutathione, it is necessary to understand what liposomal delivery actually is. The word “Liposomes” simply refers to the small fatty spheres which are the building blocks of the cell membranes in our body. The theory behind liposomal delivery is, therefore, relatively straightforward. Glutathione is encapsulated in a small fatty material sphere called a liposome, similar in composition to the membranes surrounding our cells. When taken orally, these liposomes arrive at the intestinal wall and fuse with the membranes of the cells that line the intestine (see figure 1). The liposome then splits open and the glutathione inside is emptied into the cell. Great, so we have been able to increase the cellular concentration of glutathione in some intestinal cells, but what about the rest of the body? Unfortunately, this is where the theory breaks down. The glutathione-filled liposomes we have ingested are now fused with the intestinal cell membranes, and this is where their journey ends. The extra glutathione we have delivered into the intestinal cells then diffuses out into the bloodstream. But, as we already know, glutathione in our blood plasma cannot enter cells anywhere in the body since there is always a net movement of glutathione out of cells, not into cells. The reason for this is simple: The concentration of glutathione inside all cells is about a thousand times higher than outside. So, just like a blown-up balloon can only ever release air, cells can only ever release glutathione, not the other way around. With some vitamins, however, the story is a little different. Vitamin C, for example, has dedicated transporters inside cell membranes that allow it to enter cells even though the concentration is higher inside the cell than outside. Visualizing our balloon example again, these transporters act like a pump that allows us to push more air into the balloon. It is therefore quite conceivable that liposomal vitamin C does increase its bioavailability. Unfortunately, no such transporters exist for glutathione. Of course, a valid question now arises. Why not bypass the intestinal cells and inject liposomal glutathione directly into the bloodstream? This way, our liposomal carriers would be available to all cells. This is not within the realm of current medical practices. For one, the liposomal carrier theory is just that – a theory. There have been studies on the liposomal delivery of some highly specialized anti-cancer drugs, but this remains experimental even in this critical field. To be able to inject supplements such as glutathione in liposomal form would require decades of research and clinical studies to ensure efficacy and safety. And any such research would be very much at the end of a long queue of far more essential and life-preserving research such as anti-cancer or anti-viral therapy. The big difference here is that cancer research, for example, deals with “end of life” situations, and any such research can take on higher risks than when dealing with perfectly healthy subjects. But is there a better solution? What if we had a supplement that could safely increase cellular glutathione without requiring liposomal delivery, injection, or any other fancy delivery methods concocted by supplement companies? Fortunately, we do! The Glyteine® in Continual-G® does not suffer from any of the limitations described above. Taken orally, Glyteine® easily diffuses into the bloodstream through the small gaps between cells that line the intestinal wall called “tight junctions” (see figure 2). Once in our blood plasma, Glyteine® easily enters cells because the concentration of Glyteine® inside our cells is much lower than outside the cell. Unlike with glutathione, our cells are not bloated with Glyteine®, making the journey from the blood to inside the cell possible. The reason for this is that any Glyteine® inside cells is immediately converted to glutathione. Glyteine® is the proprietary name for ?-glutamylcysteine, the immediate and natural precursor to glutathione production inside our cells. A clinical study has proven that the consumption of Glyteine® rapidly increases cellular glutathione – even after a single dose! This is the Continual-G® advantage. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-08-23T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:39:01-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/The_Truth_about_Liposomal_Glutathione_aa39bf8e-0679-4d71-b74d-4b29c17bcf1f.jpg?v=1749469653&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Importance Of Glutathione In Reducing Recovery Time After A Workout | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/importance-of-glutathione-in-reducing-recovery-time-after-a-workout): What makes glutathione levels so important in supporting post-workout recovery? Learn more **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Glyteine, the key ingredient in Continual-G, is incredibly efficient at increasing cellular glutathione. Our patented technology is based on sound scientific principles making Glyteine the market leader in glutathione enhancement. Sports recovery and performance have never been easier. By taking Continual-G® before, during and after a workout, rapid cellular glutathione replenishment will help improve sports performance by: Reducing oxidative stress: During exercise, the body produces a large number of free radicals, leading to muscle damage and fatigue. Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize these free radicals, allowing athletes to perform better while significantly reducing recovery time. Reducing inflammation: Glutathione also helps the recovery process by reducing inflammation and speeding up tissue repair. This natural competitive advantage can help athletes recover faster, train harder and perform better in their next training session. Strengthening the immune system: A weakened immune system can significantly impact sports performance. Athletes are more susceptible to infections due to increased stress on the body. Glutathione plays a crucial role in healthy immunity by supporting immune system function, reducing the risk of illness and improving overall health. Enhancing energy production: An athlete’s optimal performance depends on a steady energy supply. Glutathione helps to optimize energy production in the body by improving the efficiency of mitochondria, which are responsible for producing energy in cells. In addition, more energy during training, competitions, and recovery will significantly enhance overall short and long-term performance. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2025-05-17T01:11:54-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-17T01:11:55-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Importance_of_Glutathione_in_reducing_recovery_time_after_a_workout_868d1b04-0a3a-4504-8f70-29dd3d731a20.jpg?v=1747462315&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Busting The Glutathione Myths | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/busting-the-glutathione-myths): Bust the glutathione myths! Why NAC and glutathione supplements don’t really work! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: There is much to be said about glutathione, which is commonly referred to by scientists as the master antioxidant. Each cell in your body is responsible for making and maintaining its own supply of glutathione, which they use to fight off free radicals and to recycle other key antioxidants such as Vitamin C. Free radicals are produced by our body’s cells during normal metabolism and can come from the environment through a poor diet or polluted air. Without enough glutathione our cells will enter oxidative stress, which if not addressed can lead to cell damage, loss of physiological function and ultimately cell death. Glutathione depletion can be acute and extreme such as during paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. Glutathione is composed of the three amino acids (protein building blocks); glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Cysteine is what scientists refer to as the “limiting substrate” for glutathione synthesis, which means it is the first one of the three that your body runs out of when it is under heavy attack by free radicals. Without immediate treatment with n-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is a source of cysteine, overdose patients are at high risk of live failure and death. The NAC helps cells get back to normal glutathione production and hopefully before permanent and perhaps lethal damage occurs. Other sources of environmental free radicals that can deplete our glutathione reserves include smoke, drugs, alcohol, radiation, UV, heavy metals, extreme exercise, and poor diets. In many health conditions and as we age, our cells progressively lose the capacity to make enough of glutathione’s immediate precursor gamma glutamylcysteine (Glyteine). Consequently, they cannot make enough glutathione to control the free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, which over time leads to accumulated cellular damage, which manifests as symptoms. The entire premise of our supplements is based around addressing this shortfall in Glyteine production and allowing your cells an opportunity to recover from oxidative stress. Glyteine is the only supplement that has been clinically demonstrated to increase cellular glutathione levels after a single dose. However, with so many different types of supplements marketed for replenishing your reserves of glutathione, it can be difficult to know the ins and outs, and what is factually correct and what isn’t. With so much misleading information out there, we have put together a blog post that busts the glutathione myths so rest assured that you have the accurate facts for your health. What is Glutathione? Before we delve into the myths (and facts) of glutathione, we should begin by filling you in on what glutathione is. As mentioned above, glutathione is known as the master antioxidant. And this is because it plays a crucial role in supporting your overall health and well-being, so that you can live like you mean it and feel your best every day. Beyond just good health, having enough glutathione is essential for: Immunity Healthy living Sports recovery Brain health In summary, glutathione is your body’s armour, ready to protect you from whatever may come its way. It is your body’s first line of defence against free radicals and helps support general wellbeing. But … if your cells are under attack from acute excess exposure to environmental free radicals or they have lost the capacity to make enough Glyteine and consequently glutathione then ill health is likely just around the corner. Want to delve into what glutathione is even further? We have a full blog post dedicated to this topic here Busting the Glutathione Myths Now that we have covered the basics of what glutathione is, it is time to bust some of the many myths surrounding this antioxidant. We explore these below. 1. It doesn’t matter that most glutathione supplements break down before entering our cells. False. Remember in most health conditions, the cells in the affected tissue have lost the capacity to make enough of the immediate precursor gamma glutamylcysteine (Glyteine) and consequently glutathione. When glutathione is taken as a supplement it cannot directly enter your cells. In fact, the majority of your cells are covered with an enzyme, gamma glutamyltransferase, that has the sole job to break down glutathione to its three component amino acids. These amino acids can then enter cells but once inside they cannot do anything to overcome that loss in capacity to make enough Glyteine. Even though NAC can enter a cell, it is just a source of cysteine and also can do nothing to overcome the shortfall in Glyteine production. The only theoretical and clinically demonstrated way to increase glutathione levels in these health conditions is to supply what is missing, which is Glyteine. Continual-G® is the only supplement on the market that contains Glyteine. Don’t waste your time and money on other supplements like glutathione and NAC, as they simply cannot enter cells and increase their glutathione to more healthy levels! 2. Glutathione supplements can increase glutathione levels that are permanently depleted. False. Taking a glutathione supplement may increase the glutathione levels in your blood plasma (the liquid component), but as we have mentioned in the point above, it is inside your cells where it is really needed. This is because the concentration of glutathione inside cells, even when depleted, is so much higher than the concentration found in plasma - and as such cannot be passively taken up by cells (via osmosis). Cells also do not have any energy requiring system (active) for taking up glutathione from plasma. Glutathione supplements are simply broken down by enzymes on the outside of cells with the resulting amino acids being able to enter cells, where they can be used to resynthesise the glutathione. But … this is of little use if you are suffering from a health condition or just simply getting older where your cells have lost the capacity to produce enough Glyteine to fuel the production of sufficient glutathione to fight off free radicals and oxidative stress. As we age and in many health conditions, glutathione homeostasis in our cells becomes dysfunctional. This means, they still make glutathione but do not maintain enough of it to protect them against oxidative stress. Simply taking any glutathione-targeted supplement (without Glyteine) will not (and theoretically cannot) increase your cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis. And above homeostasis is what is needed if it has become dysfunctional. 3. Glyteine is needed to achieve an increase in your cellular glutathione levels. True. Unlike glutathione, Glyteine can readily and passively enter your cells and once inside, it is immediately converted to glutathione which then drives more Glyteine to enter the cell, leading to a progressive increase in glutathione above homeostatic levels. To ensure your cells are regularly rescued from any oxidative stress, we recommend taking Continual-G® twice a day, morning and evening.

Rapidly restoring cellular glutathione levels in a single dose. Read more to experience the power of Glyteine! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Most supplement products on the market claim to have their one superpower or the one golden nugget that their supplement can offer. It’s what helps each product stand apart from the next when consumers are choosing which one to buy. You may be wondering what is Continual-G’s superpower or what is the key function of our products? In a nutshell, our superpower is in the ingredient Glyteine. In this blog we will cover what Glyteine is and why it’s the superpower ingredient of Continual-G. The Power of Glyteine® What is Glyteine you ask? Well, Glyteine is your body’s own natural and immediate precursor to glutathione. It is the only nutrient with proven clinical bioavailability to take cellular glutathione well beyond homeostasis levels following a single dose! (For more details on glutathione, be sure to check out our Blog Post What is Glutathione?). Most importantly, your body cannot make glutathione without Glyteine, and this is where its superpower comes into action. If we were to look at it like an equation or formula, when you add Glyteine you increase your cellular glutathione, which increases your protection from oxidative stress. Glyteine is taken up by the cells in your body where it is rapidly converted into glutathione within hours. Every cell in our bodies makes its own supply of glutathione. Glyteine is the ONLY supplement that has been shown in human clinical studies to increase cellular glutathione levels within hours following a single dose. Wanting to delve deeper into the world of Glyteine? Be sure to click here The Superpower Ingredient of Continual-G® The Glyteine in our Continual-G® supplements, when taken regularly, supports the body’s production of cellular glutathione to help fight against oxidative stress-related risk to your continued good health. In fact, Glyteine’s (and Continual-G’s) superpower is that it is the ONLY way for you to achieve immediate boosts in cellular glutathione! As we mentioned above, with increased levels of cellular glutathione, you will have increased support to protect against oxidative stress. It is well known that low glutathione levels and oxidative stress are the enemies of immune health, detoxification, brain health, respiratory health, and sports recovery. Unlike with Glyteine, there is no scientific basis for glutathione or NAC based supplements to be able to boost cellular glutathione levels – they may be able to help restore but not boost, and boosts are what we need. We think it is safe to say that this is the true golden nugget of the Glyteine in Continual-G! Get your hands on the power of Glyteine in our Continual-G® products here.

Importance of elevating cellular glutathione levels while taking Vitamin D? How does Glyteine support glutathione production? **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Your body needs Vitamin D Vitamin D is a fat-soluble essential vitamin produced by our skin when exposed to the sun. Vitamin D is critical to good health-protecting our bones and muscles by preventing osteoporosis and muscle wastage. Some evidence also suggests that it has a protective effect on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, viral infections and, even certain cancers. Am I at risk from Vitamin D deficiency? Vitamin D deficiency affects more than one billion people worldwide and is considered a significant public health issue. But who is most at risk from low Vitamin D levels? People who avoid sun exposure for cultural or health reasons, such as religious dresses, or to prevent tanning Dark-skinned people who require more UV exposure due to a higher level of pigments in their skin, especially when living in countries with lower sun intensity The elderly or those who are institutionalized because they live mostly indoors Babies of Vitamin D deficient mothers People who are obese Those taking certain medications that interfere with the absorption of calcium and vitamin D Interestingly, there is no association between sunscreen usage and low Vitamin D levels. Can I supplement my Vitamin D? It is generally recommended that people in high-risk groups supplement their Vitamin D levels if regular sunlight exposure is lacking. This is often the case when residing in countries far north or south of the equator, even for people who may not be classified as high risk. In the past, sunbeds were widespread; however, this is mostly avoided nowadays due to elevated skin cancer risk. Many people in these countries seek holidays in the sun, but during the long winter months, when life takes place mostly indoors, Vitamin D levels can suffer. Your doctor can measure your Vitamin D during a routine blood test and may recommend boosting your levels. However, this may not be quite that easy. Firstly, not all people respond well to Vitamin D supplementation, meaning their levels do not increase much. Secondly, high doses are generally needed to achieve even moderate increases in Vitamin D levels. We now understand that this may actually be due to low glutathione levels. Vitamin D & Glutathione A recent study published in Antioxidants & Redox Signaling found a strong correlation between low glutathione levels and Vitamin D absorption from supplements. It has been suggested that taking even very high doses of Vitamin D may be ineffective unless a person’s glutathione status is first addressed. This has significant health implications on those people relying on supplements to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels. But while low Vitamin D levels are easily picked up during routine blood tests, it is far more challenging to measure glutathione. There simply isn’t a standard test for this condition, and any results can be somewhat inaccurate. Therefore, it is prudent to elevate cellular glutathione levels while taking Vitamin D. However, even though there are many products out there that claim to increase glutathione, all fail when it comes to raising glutathione in our cells where it matters. After all, glutathione only works inside our cells. But, as we will find out, there is an easy and fast way to do just that. Can I take glutathione with vitamin D? It has been proven beyond a doubt that taking glutathione in any form will not increase cellular glutathione levels. An improvement of a person’s glutathione status to help improve Vitamin D absorption can therefore not be achieved by supplementing with glutathione. Multiple studies were also conducted on popular supplements such as NAC with similarly disappointing results. Natural remedies such as milk thistle or alpha-lipoic acid are nothing but wishful thinking. The fact is until recently; it was extremely difficult to quickly raise a person’s glutathione levels. Thankfully, today there is a simple and effective solution. How can Glyteine® help? The Glyteine® in Continual-G® is a natural precursor, or building block, of glutathione. Glyteine® easily enters our cells, where it is immediately converted to glutathione. This is true for healthy individuals and as well as for the elderly or chronically ill who may suffer from persistent low glutathione due to an impaired enzyme that is the first step responsible for making glutathione inside our cells. But isn’t NAC also a precursor to glutathione, you may ask? Yes, but there are two simple reasons why any cysteine-based prodrug does not help us produce more glutathione: NAC is just a form of cysteine which our body is not lacking since our diet contains plenty of it, and more importantly, since the first enzyme responsible for making glutathione in our cells uses cysteine as one of its building blocks, if it is impaired, any amount of cysteine simply won’t aid our cellular glutathione production Glyteine® works because it bypasses this enzyme altogether, resulting in increased cellular glutathione levels in any individual. It does so even over and above our cells baseline value which we call homeostasis. This is important because our cellular glutathione homeostasis level decreases with age or the progression of chronic illness. But it doesn’t end there. Glyteine® has been shown to safely raise cellular glutathione fast, typically within hours. It is the only supplement clinically proven to do so, making it the ideal companion and adjunct therapy for combating Vitamin D deficiency. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-02-22T00:00:00-06:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:36:31-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/How_glutathione_affects_your_Vitamin_D_levels_6b43ca61-c6c3-4116-9638-9c9f8f8a812f.jpg?v=1749470379&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [What Are Antioxidants And Why Are They Essential For Your Overall Wellbeing? | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/what-are-antioxidants-and-why-are-they-essential-for-your-overall-wellbeing): Why are antioxidants essential for your wellbeing? Learn about the power of glutathione the master antioxidant and why its necessary to neutralize free radicals **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: You may have heard a lot of talk about antioxidants and know in a general sense that they're good for your health. Or have taken either Vitamin C or E supplements in the past. However, few people know what they are or how they work. What are antioxidants? Antioxidants are molecules that fight free radicals in your body. We can get most of our antioxidants from our diet, or make them from the nutrients in our diet. We must include some such as Vitamin C in our diet as we don't have the capacity to make them ourselves. During everyday life, we produce free radicals from our diet, from normal metabolism and exposure to toxins in the air we breathe. These free radicals need to be neutralised and this is where antioxidants come in. In the process of neutralisation (i.e. the free radicals become weak), the antioxidants become oxidised themselves. And it's glutathione's job to give them back their power by recycling them, including Vitamins and E. If we run out of antioxidants these free radicals will progressively destroy our cells, tissue, and ultimately our health. For glutathione, it is so important that each cell in our body makes its own supply. The problem is as we age and when we become ill, our bodies lose the capacity to make enough Glyteine to meet our glutathione needs for protection against oxidative stress. On occasions when we get exposed to excesses of toxins from the environment, our diet or from exercise, we overwhelm our capacity to make enough Glyteine. In summary, antioxidants are what help keep our health in balance and in check, and without adequate supplies of them, our health can be at risk of suffering. Why are they essential for overall wellbeing? Now that we've covered off what antioxidants are, it's important for us to let you in on all the reasons why they're essential for your overall wellbeing. The one you need to have your focus on above all is glutathione and Glyteine. You make all the others or they're in your diet and you don't need supplements. There's a lot of talk about the benefits of antioxidants, but the truth is often masked. Understanding the role of Glyteine will give you bragging rights as you understand how its capacity to replenish glutathione levels is key to good health. Antioxidants can assist with, but not limited to: Fighting free radicals Oxidative stress support Mental health Brain health Healthy aging Exercise Training recovery Eye health We think it's safe to say that Glyteine is indeed essential for your overall well-being and assisting with feeling your best every day! How does Continual-G® help with increasing your antioxidants? Continual-G® helps increase your glutathione levels in your body. Known as the master antioxidant, glutathione is responsible for powering other minor antioxidants to relieve oxidative stress. As our natural production of glutathione declines, and it becomes more difficult to fend off illness, recover and think clearly, Continual-G® steps in with Glyteine – the only way to achieving real increased cellular glutathione.

How does cellular glutathione levels help in athletic recovery and restore stamina? **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: The quest for energy There aren’t many of us who haven’t longed for more energy and enhanced athletic performance. And you don’t need to be an Olympian to seek out an improvement in stamina and shorter recovery times. Even if you are only moderately active, your everyday physical activities can quickly drain your energy. We all understand that training and regular exercise will improve our performance, but how does our body deal with energy demand? Is it simply a matter of more calories consumed equals greater energy? Well, we certainly need to provide our body with nourishment, but energy production is much more than that. Inside each one of our cells, an intricate process converts glucose and oxygen into ATP. And this little molecule powers every aspect of our body’s energy needs throughout our lives. But everything comes with a cost, and so does energy production. For an in-depth understanding of how our cells produce energy - as well as its consequences - read our blog on cellular energy cellular energy. Chasing your peak High-performance athletes are very much in tune with their bodies. Training for peak performance is just as important as understanding and recognizing your body’s limits. This is the reason athletes take the recovery phase of intense exercise very seriously. But why is recovery so crucial to success? Our body is a marvellous machine that we can train to achieve impressive athletic accomplishments. But the energy we expend chasing these achievements needs to be replaced, and that doesn’t happen in an instant. No matter how fit you are, peak energy production is finite, and we eventually require rest. And this comes down to the depletion of a vital antioxidant that the body produces in every cell: Glutathione! Athletes understand glutathione’s crucial role in energy production and the mopping up of free radicals produced by their activity. But more importantly, they realize that to replenish glutathione they need to rest. After about 10 minutes of intense exercise, glutathione can become depleted and depending on the intensity of work performed, it can then take up to 24 hours of rest to be replenished. Let’s have a look at what role glutathione plays in athletic performance. Glutathione's many roles A lot of things happen in your body during intense athletic performance. The main issue, however, is increased free radical production because of increased energy demand. Glutathione’s task is to neutralize these free radicals, but eventually, as athletic performance and energy needs continue, glutathione production can’t keep up with the constant production of free radicals. This has unfortunate consequences, which include: Excess free radicals which go on to damage vital cellular components like membranes, DNA and structural proteins like collagen and keratin. Increased inflammation Bad lifestyle habits Suppressed immune function Joint and muscle soreness and impaired performance If the body is unable to replenish cellular glutathione, these symptoms will progressively worsen leading to oxidative damage, toxin build up, exhaustion and susceptibility to illness. But glutathione also plays a vital role in endurance. The energy powerhouse of our cells, the mitochondria, produce ATP, the molecule responsible for providing us with sustained energy. When energy demand increases during athletic activity, mitochondria ramp up ATP production to ensure we can continue in our quest. But they can only do so if there is sufficient glutathione in our cells. Once glutathione levels fall, the risk of damage to the cell increases. This triggers mitochondria to downregulate ATP production as a defensive mechanism. The importance of sustained glutathione levels is therefore critical during and after both athletic and non-athletic intensive workouts. But there is yet another vital function in glutathione’s arsenal. The cells of our muscles undergo changes as we challenge them and require repair and regeneration. Glutathione assists in this process by preserving and protecting the critical players in muscle recovery - nitric oxide, proteins and amino acids - from oxidative damage. Maintaining cellular glutathione levels We now understand why glutathione can be considered an athlete’s best companion. Maintaining cellular glutathione at optimal levels before, during and after exercise is essential for endurance, muscle recovery and protection from damaging free radicals. But how can serious athletes and fitness enthusiasts ensure a steady supply of glutathione during their activities? Until recently there was no satisfactory answer to this question. The importance of glutathione has been known for decades, with countless published scientific papers on the subject. The problem was the inability to replenish glutathione inside the cell where it is required to perform its remarkable and wide-ranging functions. Although the current market boasts a vast variety of supplements that claim to increase glutathione, none have known to actually do so inside the cell. The most obvious contender, glutathione itself, shows very little promise as it cannot be absorbed by cells. It therefore remains in blood plasma and is broken down into its constituent amino acids. Marketing companies have come up with a litany of so-called enhanced forms of glutathione such as intra-oral sprays, intra-nasal, liposomal and so on. But all of them are just glutathione in different packaging. Other products such as NAC and other cysteine prodrugs only provide a supply of cysteine, which the body isn’t lacking. They have never been shown to increase cellular glutathione in otherwise healthy individuals, including athletes. But there is one new breakthrough ingredient that has been clinically proven to do so safely and rapidly. Glyteine®, available in Continual-G®, has been clinically proven to enter cells where it is immediately converted to glutathione. Glyteine® provides athletes and fitness enthusiasts with the confidence they need to pursue their goals by providing a safe and natural way to ensure optimal cellular glutathione levels. Glyteine® is unique in this ability and can be conveniently consumed before, during and after intensive exercise for superior performance, endurance, and recovery. The recent announcement of Continual-G® being selected as a finalist for the NutraIngredients - USA 2021– Product of the Year within the Sports Nutrition category testifies to the many advantages that Glyteine® provides in sports generally and even more specifically to athletes. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-04-22T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:36:20-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Glutathione__An_athlete_s_best_friend_f351fb6c-0f75-49eb-b6f6-b5251c153025.jpg?v=1749212435&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Glutathione, Gamma-Glutamylcysteine, and Liver Health](https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/glutathione-gamma-glutamylcysteine-and-liver-health-the-science-behind-this-antioxidants-power): Discover how glutathione supports liver health by combating oxidative stress. Learn the science behind this powerful antioxidant's role in protecting your liver from various health challenges. Boost your liver's resilience today! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: In recent years, a new trend has emerged in the world of health and wellness: glutathione. This powerful antioxidant, naturally produced by every cell in the body, has long been known for its role in protecting cells and promoting overall health. However, with advancements in nutritional science and supplement technology, strategies for boosting glutathione production within your cells are now being touted as potential fountains of youth. But what exactly is glutathione, and how might boosting its production become integral to achieving better health and longevity? Understanding Glutathione Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It is produced within each cell of the body and plays a crucial role in cellular detoxification, immune function, and energy production. Glutathione levels can be challenged by aging, disease, diet, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices. Numerous research publications have reported an association between various chronic ailments and low cellular glutathione levels. Role of Glutathione in Health Glutathione's multifaceted benefits for health are underscored by scientific studies: Antioxidant Properties: Glutathione acts as a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body. This action helps protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, which can lead to inflammation and cellular degeneration. Studies have shown that glutathione deficiency leads to increased levels of oxidative stress, potentially leading to a range of illnesses. Immune System Support: Glutathione plays a significant role in maintaining immune function by enhancing the activity of natural killer cells and macrophages, crucial for fighting off infections. Elevated glutathione levels have been linked to improved resistance to oxidative stress inside cells. Detoxification: It aids in the detoxification process by facilitating the removal of toxins from cells, thereby reducing their harmful effects on overall health. Glutathione has been shown to be involved in the elimination of drugs and pollutants from our bodies. Neuroprotection: Research suggests that increased cellular glutathione levels in the brain may help protect against neurodegenerative diseases by scavenging disease-related streams of excess free radicals. Cardiovascular Health: Lower levels of glutathione have been linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Boosting glutathione levels could potentially reduce this risk by enhancing endothelial function and reducing oxidative stress. Rise of Glutathione Supplements Given the potential benefits of elevated cellular glutathione levels, it's no surprise that glutathione-related supplements have gained popularity in recent years. These supplements come in various forms—oral, IV, and topical—with different ingredients – all claiming to replenish depleted glutathione levels. Oral Supplements: Oral is perhaps the most common form of glutathione supplementation. However, there is no published clinical evidence that a single dose is capable of increasing cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis, which would be expected if it were to be bioavailable. You will see glutathione supplements with reported clinical evidence of them increasing glutathione levels in plasma and/or whole blood (a mixture of plasma and blood cells) but these increases do not take place inside cells. The observed increases in whole blood are likely due to increases in its plasma fraction, not its cells. All this data supports, is that a proportion of the orally administered glutathione survives digestion, first pass metabolism to reach the bloodstream but once there it does not enter cells. You may also see some glutathione supplements citing reports that regular consumption of glutathione over months will increase cellular glutathione levels, but the authors of these reports do not provide a mechanism based on biochemistry and glutathione homeostasis as to why this could even be possible. Injectable Forms: Some practitioners recommend injectable forms of glutathione for better absorption into the bloodstream. These methods require professional administration and carry risks such as allergic reactions. There is also no clinical evidence that the glutathione in these injections can increase cellular levels, which is where glutathione is needed. Our cells do not have any mechanism for taking up glutathione from the blood plasma. So, it would be expected that most of the IV glutathione would hang around in the plasma until it was degraded to its three component acids. If anything, the IV injected glutathione may be causing some reductive stress in the blood plasma, which may well not be a good thing. IV glutathione isn’t regulated by the FDA and may have a risk of contamination. Topical Creams: Creams containing reduced glutathione have not shown any improvements in skin radiance and complexion. Future of Glutathione Research The scientific community continues to explore the intricacies of glutathione's role in human health through various studies: Clinical Trials: Ongoing clinical trials aim to elucidate whether supplementation with glutathione can lead to tangible health improvements in populations with established deficiencies or increased oxidative stress. There have been hundreds of registered clinical trials exploring the efficacy of glutathione and NAC. However, none has resulted in a FDA-approved treatment for a clinical condition. The only FDA approval was for the original 1960’s approval of NAC as an antidote for acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose. During acetaminophen overdose, glutathione in liver cells is rapidly depleted, causing extreme oxidative stress that can lead to death. Cells struggle to maintain their glutathione levels because the body’s supply of the amino acid cysteine rapidly runs out, dealing with the acetaminophen. The two other amino acids in glutathione, glutamate and glycine are more readily available. The NAC treatment provides the cysteine needed by cells to help them get back to homeostasis as soon as possible before the oxidative damage in the liver is fatal. What needs to be kept in mind, is that NAC only helps cells get to and maintain homeostasis, it does NOT increase cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis, and above homeostasis is what is needed when addressing chronic illnesses associated with oxidative stress. The only published human clinical trial that demonstrates that a supplement has the capacity to increase cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis is for gamma-glutamylcysteine, which is the immediate precursor to glutathione and has the unique capacity to bypass the homeostasis regulatory control mechanism. Mechanistic Studies: Researchers are also delving into mechanistic studies aimed at understanding how glutathione interacts with cellular pathways at a molecular level; this could lead to more targeted therapeutic strategies. Epidemiological Research: Epidemiological studies are examining correlations between dietary patterns rich in glutathione precursors (such as sulfur-rich foods) and disease incidence rates; these findings could inform public health recommendations. As our understanding of glutathione biochemistry deepens, the potential impact of boosting glutathione cellular levels in achieving better health and longevity becomes increasingly compelling. While more research is needed to fully harness the benefits of this approach, current evidence suggests that boosting cellular glutathione levels to deal with oxidative stress may serve as a vital component in maintaining cellular integrity and mitigating oxidative stress—two key factors in healthy aging. Ultimately, while the trend toward addressing glutathione depletion is intriguing, it is crucial to approach this topic with a balanced perspective—one that considers both scientific evidence and ethical responsibilities. As always, consulting with healthcare professionals before embarking on any new regimen ensures that we can maximize potential benefits while minimizing risks. The rise of cellular glutathione boosting as a health trend reflects our evolving understanding of antioxidant needs within modern society—needs that are increasingly recognized as pivotal for maintaining optimal well-being across diverse ages and lifestyles. Whether through natural dietary sources or targeted supplements, promoting the health issue of cellular glutathione deficiency could indeed hold promise for enhancing overall health outcomes—a prospect worth exploring further through rigorous scientific inquiry. This comprehensive article not only delves into the intricacies of addressing the key roles of glutathione but also emphasizes the importance of responsible supplementation practices while highlighting ongoing research efforts aimed at fully realizing its health benefits. By doing so, it fosters an informed dialogue about how boosting cellular levels of this antioxidant might play a crucial role in achieving better health and longevity-a theme resonating with both scientific communities and health-conscious readers alike.

Everything we do requires energy. Not just the manual tasks we perform every day but also the vast array of processes that silently keep our bodies ticking over. All this energy is produced inside our cells by a tiny organelle - the mitochondria. Eons ago, it joined with a cell and formed the progenitor of most cells we find in life today. Mitochondria produce energy in a currency called ATP, which drives every muscle, most biochemical processes, and even our thoughts and memories. The brain uses about 20% of our total energy needs every day. So, how much energy or ATP do we need in total? Well, even though a molecule of ATP weighs next to nothing, our body turns over the equivalent of its own weight in ATP every single day. How mitochondria produce energy You may have come across the phrase "mitochondria are the powerhouse of our cells," which is not an exaggeration! An extraordinary process occurs inside mitochondria called cellular respiration, which explains why we need to eat and breathe. Mitochondria's exclusive purpose is to produce energy in the form of ATP. This elegant process essentially breaks down glucose from our food and combines it with oxygen in the air we breathe to make ATP. But our cells are not innocent bystanders either. Since mitochondria cannot use glucose in their raw form, cells help by first converting glucose to pyruvate by a process called glycolysis. Pyruvate then enters mitochondria, where the cycle begins: The energy cycle The ATP produced by mitochondria is akin to a vast storage of energy our cells can utilize whenever it is required. And this works by another process called hydrolysis. In simple terms, cells harness ATP's energy by slitting the phosphate group – the "P" in ATP. This generates a large amount of energy ready to be used. During this process, ATP gets converted into ADP. The mitochondria convert the ADP produced back into ATP. This energy cycle is very efficient and ensures a steady supply of ATP. Think of it as a rechargeable battery. When discharged, the battery itself is ADP, the charger is our mitochondria, and the energy used to charge it is pyruvate and oxygen. Once the battery is full, it becomes ATP. During the course of a day, each ATP molecule is recharged this way thousands of times. So, the "powerhouse" of energy analogy has more than proven itself. The cost of living By now, you probably realize how sophisticated this process of cellular respiration is. And it is only one of many processes that continually take place in our body. However, any process involving oxygen comes with a high price: Free radicals. In essence, processes that use oxygen are nothing more than a slow, controlled form of burning. The unfortunate by-product of this "burning" are reactive oxygen species, commonly known as free radicals. They can cause havoc in our cells and are responsible for a whole range of diseases as well as the aging process itself. Due to mitochondria consuming oxygen to produce ATP, they are also responsible for most free radicals. The list of diseases associated with free radical damage is extensive and has been described in books, reviews, and peer-reviewed papers published in scientific journals. Glutathione's role as the protector of cells Thankfully, our cells have also developed a way to eliminate free radicals. Enter antioxidants, a powerful group of molecules that can also neutralize free radicals in every cell. You probably have heard of Vitamins C & E being referred to as antioxidants, but their role is minor compared to glutathione's incredible power, the body's "master antioxidant." The list of glutathione's accomplishments is wide-ranging and, due to its importance, also well studied. But glutathione does more than just eliminate free radicals. It also plays a role in detoxification and even cell death. This may sound counterproductive, but cell death, or apoptosis, is an incredibly important part of our health. If cell death is compromised, we get a runaway production of cells, resulting in a well-known health condition. Nature's flaw As intricate and marvelous as all these processes are, nature isn't perfect. And, unfortunately, glutathione production is not immune from being able to be compromised either. Even though our cells are responsible for glutathione production, this process is prone to become less efficient as we age. The main reason for this lies in the way glutathione is synthesized inside our cells. Glutathione is synthesized in a two-step reaction using amino acids and catalyzed by two different enzymes. But the first enzyme responsible weakens as we get older or when experiencing certain types of persistent health issues and slows down the efficient production of glutathione. But even in our early years, when this enzyme is still in full swing, there are situations where free radical production can outstrip the glutathione available. Typical conditions include strenuous exercise, stress, the build-up of toxins from the environment, or even smoking and alcohol, all of which produce excessive amounts of free radicals. How can Glyteine® help? But is there a way to increase the glutathione in our cells? There certainly is! And the evidence suggests we would be well advised to do so. Despite the many products claiming to do so, only one has been clinically proven to do so safely and, crucially, rapidly. The Glyteine® present in Continual-G® is a natural precursor, or building block, of glutathione. Even though other such building blocks are available as supplements, only Glyteine® can enter our cells. This is important because glutathione can only perform its function inside the cell where the mitochondria reside. Not only is Glyteine® immediately converted to glutathione, but this conversion also works when the first enzyme responsible for glutathione production is impaired. Glyteine® works because it bypasses this enzyme altogether, resulting in immediate increased cellular glutathione levels in all individuals. Glyteine®'s unique ability to bypass this enzyme also results in a small gain of energy since the first enzymatic reaction does not need to occur. But Glyteine® has another trick up its sleeve. It is an antioxidant in its own right. Studies have shown that Glyteine® can act as a substitute for glutathione in mitochondria. So, regardless of the glutathione concentration in our cells, Glyteine® can virtually take over glutathione's protective functions. The availability of Glyteine® as an ingredient in dietary supplements has enormous implications for our health at all ages. Incorporating Glyteine® into our daily health routine will ensure a constant supply of the body's master antioxidant glutathione to combat the free radicals resulting from the energy produced by our cells and by toxins, stress, and exercise. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-03-03T00:00:00-06:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:36:29-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Glyteine_s_role_in_detoxifying_the_by-products_of_cellular_energy_production_0a88ce5a-1ced-48ed-87ce-ee374b7210a6.jpg?v=1749211047&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [All Antioxidant Supplements Are Not Equally Effective | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/all-antioxidant-supplements-are-not-equally-effective): Antioxidants the key to good health! Glutathione the great recycler and its various health benefits. Which is the best antioxidant supplement? Read more **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Antioxidants – your key to good health We are all aware of the two major vitamin antioxidants C and E. Most of us have probably taken them as a supplement at some stage in our lives. Vitamin C is essential for our skin by helping repair and maintain tissue, support our immune system and, in its role as an antioxidant, fight free radicals. Vitamin E is a collective term for a group of eight fat-soluble compounds whose major function is to protect our cell membranes from attack by free radicals. Another vital antioxidant you may have heard of is alpha-lipoic acid. It also serves as a free radical scavenger and is used to treat nerve pain in diabetics. It is a little-known fact, however, that it also helps recycle Vitamin C and E. But are you aware that your body produces a far more important antioxidant that regenerates all three? Glutathione, the great recycler! Glutathione's reputation as the "Master Antioxidant" is well deserved. Here are just a few of the functions it performs inside your cells: Recycles Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and alpha-lipoic acid Mops up free radicals before they can damage tissues Neutralizes environmental toxins Limits the damage done by stress, alcohol, and smoking Helps your body recover faster after intense exercise Supports recovery from acute and chronic diseases Interestingly, glutathione regenerates other antioxidants after they have performed their function as free radical scavengers, or, in other words, once they have exhausted their capabilities. The method by which glutathione performs this feat is somewhat complicated but also well understood. One crucial point, however, is that glutathione can only perform this function inside our cells. So it is important to raise glutathione levels inside cells, also known as cellular glutathione levels. So, glutathione's high status is without question, but if we were looking to elevate our glutathione levels, how can we ensure it occurs inside our cells? Do I need to supplement my glutathione? When we are young and healthy, glutathione usually is plentiful in our cells. However, there are many conditions that can make us vulnerable to glutathione levels falling below optimal. The list is long, but some of the important conditions include: The aging process Intense exercise Bad lifestyle habits Certain medications, infectious diseases, and pollution Persistent health problems resulting in discomfort At some point in our lives, we will all benefit from raising our glutathione levels, even if it's just because we are getting older. Many supplements claim to increase glutathione but not inside our cells where it actually matters. After all, glutathione only does its recycling magic inside our cells. Taking many supplements or just one – it's your choice! Of course, we can go out and buy a whole range of vitamins and other antioxidants and throw good money after bad. Apart from the inconvenience of taking many pills, this may not be such a good idea. For example, Vitamin C is often sold in megadoses, implying more is better. In reality, our body only needs a small amount to function optimally. Excess Vitamin C is excreted via our urine, and we are literally flushing our money down the drain. Vitamin E is not without its pitfalls either. Being fat-soluble, it can accumulate in our fatty tissues and may significantly elevate our health risk. In high doses, it can cause blood thinning and may increase the risk of prostate cancer. It is very tricky to get the balance right. Although our typical diets should provide us with all the daily required amounts of antioxidants, stress, illness, exercise, and just getting older can mean we don't absorb as much as we need. But herein lies the problem because we just don't know if and when we may need more. Getting the balance right Since the glutathione in our cells takes care of any deficiencies in Vitamin C, E, and alpha-lipoic acid, there is actually no need to take these supplements individually. This takes the guesswork and worry about possible side effects out of our lives and saves us money in the process. All we need is a reliable, quick and safe way to supplement our cellular glutathione levels. This will ensure we are never short on important antioxidants at whatever stage of life we are in. Setting us up on a path of good health is, after all, what we all desire. But clinical studies have proven that there is only one ingredient that can do that: Glyteine®! The glutathione conundrum The scientific literature is full of studies that have investigated the possibilities of increasing glutathione inside our cells. Researchers know how important glutathione supplementation is, hence the great interest. Yet, despite all this effort, the “holy grail,” so to speak, has never been found. The reason for this is simple. Taking glutathione itself or any other products on the market claiming to do so does not work. Companies have come up with fancy words and rehashed products for glutathione such as ‘liposomal' or ‘intranasal' to sway our opinion, but it's all just glutathione. These products may increase glutathione in our blood, but it does not enter our cells where it's needed. A solution had actually been discovered in the form of the glutathione precursor called gamma-glutamylcysteine. Until now, however, it had not been possible to produce this compound on a viable commercial scale. Solving the glutathione conundrum Over many years, scientists at the University of New South Wales in Australia have finally been able to perfect a method to produce gamma-glutamylcysteine on a commercial scale: The result: Glyteine®, a proprietary name for gamma-glutamylcysteine. A safe and effective way to supplement glutathione is now available to the public. The Glyteine® in the Continual-G® range of products increases glutathione levels fast with a single dose. It dispenses with the need to juggle a range of antioxidants, ushering in a new era of health from within. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-03-09T00:00:00-06:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:36:26-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/All_antioxidant_supplements_are_not_equally_effective_964c22b5-8554-4b14-946a-520e1e968ab4.jpg?v=1749470235&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Healthy Brain, Happy Life.

This blog post will take you through the importance of brain health and why taking Continual-G® every day is the secret to feeling your best! Healthy Brain, Happy Life We think it is safe to say that it is common knowledge that a healthy brain can lead to a positive mood, increased cognitive function, increased focus, and even improved immunity from a decrease in feeling stressed or overwhelmed. However, did you know that as much as 25% of the oxygen we breathe is used by the brain? Yes, that's right - approximately one-quarter! This process results in the normal function of the brain producing a significant quantity of free radicals. Unfortunately, many of the different types of brain cells (e.g., neurons) have only a limited capacity to produce glutathione. If their glutathione reserves become overwhelmed by excess free radicals it could have a detrimental impact on optimal brain function at all life stages. Known as the master antioxidant, glutathione is made by every cell in our bodies and is responsible for powering other antioxidants so that our cells do not suffer oxidative stress (which is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body). As we age, we must support our cellular glutathione levels to achieve healthy aging and to ensure overall optimum health in the brain.

Increases cellular glutathione levels safely and rapidly in a single dose for better immunity & well-being. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced in every cell of the body and plays an essential role in maintaining healthy cells and tissues. It is involved in many cellular processes, including detoxification, DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, and immune system regulation. As we age, glutathione production progressively declines, resulting in increased oxidative stress and damage to cells and tissues. This oxidative stress is believed to be a major contributor to the aging process and many age-related diseases. For example, glutathione plays a crucial role in supporting immune function, which is essential for preventing inflammation and maintaining overall health. It has also been shown to support liver function, supporting the detoxification and removal of harmful substances from the body. Increasing glutathione levels may therefore help to protect cells and tissues from oxidative damage, potentially increasing our healthspan - the length of time we can enjoy a healthy life. Health and longevity experts agree that a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and good sleep habits, along with maintaining optimal glutathione levels as we age, is essential for increasing our healthspan. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2023-04-01T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:35:40-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Importance_of_Glutathione_in_increasing_healthspan_90a80a4e-2f32-44bb-ad77-82e9941ec62f.jpg?v=1749461720&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [The Glutathione Trend: Key to Better Health and Longevity](https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/the-glutathione-trend-how-this-antioxidant-could-be-the-key-to-better-health-and-longevity): Discover the benefits of glutathione, the powerful antioxidant that protects cells and promotes overall health. Boost your well-being and longevity with this natural trend—learn more today! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Glutathione, which is often termed the Master antioxidant, is naturally produced by every cell in the body, and has long been known for its role in protecting cells and maintaining overall health. With advancements in nutritional science, supplements that can boost cellular glutathione levels are now being touted as potential fountains of youth. But what exactly is glutathione, and how might boosting it become integral to achieving better health and longevity? Understanding Glutathione Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It is produced within each cell of the body and plays a crucial role in cellular detoxification, immune function, and energy production. Glutathione production in our cells is highly regulated. The process involves first producing the dipeptide gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC), which is then followed by the addition of glycine to produce the tripeptide, glutathione. Normal (youthful) levels of glutathione (homeostasis) are maintained by a feedback inhibition mechanism that inhibits the production of GGC when cellular glutathione is at homeostatic concentrations. So, at homeostasis, GGC production stops and as consequence so does glutathione production. Western diets are generally replete with all the nutrients required for our cells to maintain glutathione homoeostasis. Unfortunately, as we age and become chronically ill, we start producing new streams of free radicals that can overwhelm our glutathione homeostatic levels, taking our cells into symptom-causing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is implicated in most health conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and cancer. The Role of Glutathione in Health Glutathione's multifaceted benefits for health are underscored by scientific studies: Antioxidant Properties: Glutathione acts as a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body. This action helps protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, which can lead to inflammation and cellular degeneration. Studies have shown that glutathione deficiency leads to increased levels of oxidative stress, potentially leading to diseases like cancer. Immune System Support: Glutathione plays a significant role in maintaining immune function by enhancing the activity of natural killer cells and macrophages, crucial for fighting off infections. Elevated glutathione levels have been linked to improved resistance to oxidative stress in cancer cells. Detoxification:Glutathione aids in the detoxification process by facilitating the removal of toxins from cells, thereby reducing their harmful effects on overall health. Glutathione has been shown to be involved in the elimination of drugs and pollutants from our bodies. Neuroprotection: Research suggests that boosting glutathione above homeostasis may help protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's by scavenging free radicals in brain cells. Cardiovascular Health:Lower levels of glutathione have been linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Boosting glutathione levels could potentially reduce this risk by enhancing endothelial function and reducing oxidative stress. The Rise of Glutathione Supplements Given its potential benefits, it's no surprise that glutathione supplements have gained popularity in recent years. These supplements come in various forms—oral tablets, injections, and even topical creams—and aim to replenish depleted glutathione levels. Oral Supplements: Oral tablets are perhaps the most common form of glutathione supplementation. However, there is ongoing debate about whether oral supplements can effectively increase intracellular glutathione levels. Injectable Forms: Some practitioners recommend injectable forms of glutathione for better absorption into the bloodstream. These methods require professional administration and carry risks such as allergic reactions. Topical Creams: Topical application is another route gaining traction; these creams aim to provide localized antioxidant benefits without the need for systemic absorption. But what does science really tell us about which supplement will actually do the job? Numerous clinical studies have been performed over the last 60 years to investigate the bioavailability of various supplements to increase cellular glutathione levels. None, except for those performed with gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC), have shown any capacity to boost glutathione levels above homeostasis. NAC is the standard antidote for liver cells that have been acutely depleted of glutathione during the detoxification of overdoses of acetaminophen (paracetamol). NAC simply supplies the liver with the cysteine it needs to return to and maintain glutathione homeostasis, it cannot boost it above homeostasis to deal with aging and disease related additional free radicals. Glutathione supplements also cannot boost cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis. There is no active transport system for cells to take up glutathione from the plasma, and due to a negative concentration gradient (uM in plasma, mM in cells), exogenous glutathione cannot diffuse passively into our cells. Instead, exogenous glutathione is effectively hydrolysed into its three component amino acids by the enzyme gamma glutamyl transferase, which is found on all cell types except red blood cells, and as such glutathione supplements do not provide a mechanism for bypassing the regulatory control of homeostasis. two keys to interpreting the glutathione enhancing claims of supplements. 1. The only measure you should pay attention to is cellular glutathione levels, as it is inside cells, where glutathione does its job. If a supplement provides data showing glutathione increases in plasma or whole blood (cells plus plasma), they are not providing evidence that their supplement will increase glutathione levels in cells. 2. Look at the timing of the supportive data behind each supplement.Glutathione is not stored, it is continuously turned over, with each of your cells constantly trying to maintain homeostasis. There is no biochemical basis to support that by taking a particular supplement over time that you will magically ramp up the glutathione content of your cells. Any effective supplement will provide data that shows a transient increase in cellular glutathione levels after a single dose, followed a progressive return to basal (homeostasis) levels. Ethical Considerations As with any health trend or supplement regimen, ethical considerations must be addressed: Regulation & Safety: The regulation of dietary supplements varies by country; some jurisdictions offer stricter guidelines than others regarding safety standards for supplements like glutathione enhancing supplements. Ensuring these standards are met is crucial to avoid potential harm. Quality Control: Ensuring the quality control of dietary supplements is paramount; manufacturers should adhere strictly to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to avoid contamination or adulteration risks. Professional Advice: Always consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new supplement regimen; they can provide personalized advice based on individual health needs and potential interactions with other medications. The Future of Glutathione Research The scientific community continues to explore the intricacies of glutathione's role in human health through various studies: Clinical Trials: Ongoing clinical trials aim to elucidate whether supplementation with glutathione boosting supplements can lead to tangible health improvements in populations with established deficiencies or increased oxidative stress. Mechanistic Studies: Researchers are also delving into mechanistic studies aimed at understanding how glutathione interacts with cellular pathways at a molecular level; this could lead to more targeted therapeutic strategies. Epidemiological Research: Epidemiological studies are examining correlations between dietary patterns rich in glutathione precursors (such as sulfur-rich foods) and disease incidence rates; these findings could inform public health recommendations. As our understanding of glutathione deepens, its potential impact on achieving better health and longevity becomes increasingly compelling. While more research is needed to fully harness its benefits, current evidence suggests that managing our glutathione levels through supplements may serve as a vital component in maintaining cellular integrity and mitigating oxidative stress—two key factors in aging well. Ultimately, while the trend towards glutathione supplementation is intriguing, it is crucial to approach this topic with a balanced perspective—one that considers both scientific evidence and ethical responsibilities. As always, consulting with healthcare professionals before embarking on any new regimen ensures that we can maximize potential benefits while minimizing risks. The rise of glutathione enhancing supplements as a health trend reflects our evolving understanding of antioxidant needs within modern society—needs that are increasingly recognized as pivotal for maintaining optimal well-being across diverse ages and lifestyles. Whether through natural dietary sources or targeted supplements, promoting glutathione levels could indeed hold promise for enhancing overall health outcomes—a prospect worth exploring further through rigorous scientific inquiry. This comprehensive article not only delves into the intricacies of glutathione but also emphasizes the importance of responsible supplementation practices while highlighting ongoing research efforts aimed at fully realizing its health benefits. By doing so, it fosters an informed dialogue about how managing this antioxidant might play a crucial role in achieving better health and longevity—a theme resonating with both scientific communities and health-conscious readers alike.

In each interview, his pre exercise advice included consuming Continual-G® with Glyteine® two hours before working out. While you can get back into workout mode at any age, Bishop cautioned Good Morning Arizona viewers: “As you get older, your approach needs to change. Your muscles don't recover as well. Tissue damage takes longer to heal.” He explained that exercise creates free radicals: unstable atoms that cause pain and joint issues, among other types of damage. People who are older tend to feel the effects of free radical damage more than young people. “You have to add cellular health to your plan.” Bishop said that glutathione is the body's master antioxidant, and that it helps sweep up the free radicals that happen during exercise. “Glyteine® ramps up your body's ability to produce intracellular glutathione,” he told Tampa, Florida audiences on NBC-TV's Bloom. “You'll have better performance, recover faster and get better results overall.” He confirmed to CBS-TV Great Day San Antonio viewers, “Continual-G® is the only product on the market that contains Glyteine®. It is one of my favorite products, and a great way to ensure you're maximizing our recovery after you work out.” During his appearances, including this one on ABC-TV's Afternoon Live in Portland, Oregon, Bishop demonstrated how easy it is to incorporate Continual-G® into your pre-workout routine. He mixes a sachet into his water bottle and drinks it two hours before working out. “This is one product that starts working in a single dose,” he explained. “And it will last about six hours.” Glutathione is a very potent antioxidant that our bodies make on their own. But as we age, our glutathione-making process becomes less efficient so we need to find another way to offset the free radicals. Glyteine® enables your body's cells to produce its own glutathione which is the most effective way to mop up excess free radicals. When taken before exercise, the Glyteine® in Continual-G® supports your glutathione levels, increasing available glutathione which may support optimal physical activity and support recovery from that activity. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-08-13T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:36:06-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Celebrity_fitness_expert_gives_TV_audiences_fitness_tips_for_their_40s_and_50s_ec898674-cad6-4939-8d1d-dad0e27dc088.jpg?v=1749469750&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [We are celebrating our Johnson & Johnson immune-support award](https://continualg.com/blogs/news-events/we-are-celebrating-our-johnson-and-johnson-immune-support-award): INID Research Lab, makers of Continual-G® with Glyteine®, is celebrating an award of global proportions!

The body’s ability to make glutathione diminishes due to such factors as age, stress and exposure to everyday environmental toxins. Research has shown that Glyteine® has the game-changing ability to quickly raise glutathione levels in our cells, where it is most needed. Its singular ability to cross cell membranes and raise glutathione levels above their set point (homeostasis) could have major significance for human health. Glyteine®, a naturally occurring gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC) molecule, is the first to demonstrate its ability to safely raise glutathione inside the cells where it’s needed. “Until the advent of Glyteine®, there has been no solution for replenishing chronically depleted glutathione,” explains University of New South Wales Professor Wallace Bridge, Ph.D., who, in collaboration with Martin Zarka, Ph.D., invented the manufacturing process for the Glyteine® molecule. “The demonstration in human studies that orally administered GGC can rapidly increase cellular glutathione levels represents a dramatic leap forward in glutathione science.” “It is gratifying that our 20-plus years of research and collaborative work, by a group of Australian biochemical scientists and engineers has brought us to this point and is now being acknowledged by this award. Our team has invested significant time and resources in Glyteine® because we strongly believe in its tremendous potential. This is our opportunity to take our work to the next level,” concludes Shah. - **author.name**: Gaurav Kadam - **dateModified**: 2025-05-06T05:13:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-08T05:14:55-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/10.jpg?v=1747740093&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Glutathione-boosting supplement wins immune health challenge award](https://continualg.com/blogs/news-events/glutathione-boosting-supplement-wins-immune-health-challenge-award): A relatively new-to-market ingredient that boosts glutathione levels has won a research award in a challenge sponsored by multinational pharmaceutical and CPG firm. INID Research Lab, developer of the ingredient Glyteine®, announced recently that it had won a $25,000 award in the event, called the Johnson & Johnson **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: A relatively new-to-market ingredient that boosts glutathione levels has won a research award in a challenge sponsored by multinational pharmaceutical and CPG firm. INID Research Lab, developer of the ingredient Glyteine®, announced recently that it had won a $25,000 award in the event, called the Johnson & Johnson Innovation's Next in Naturals QuickFire Challenge on Immune Support. The company has brought to market an ingredient branded as Glyteine®, with has been shown in a clinical trial to rapidly boost glutathione levels within the cells. The ingredient forms the basis of a direct-to-consumer supplement called Continual-G®, which debuted in 2020. Lining up the research Rajan Shah, president of the Cypress, TX-based company, said the major challenge in entering the competition was lining up all of the documentation that supported the notion that declining glutathione levels degrades cells’ immune function and that finding a way to boost those levels could better arm the body to fend off attacks from viruses and other pathogens. “They were looking for evidence-based solutions that support the immune system. We spend a couple of months on preparing the writeup and the documentation,” Shah said. Glutathione, known as the body’s ‘master antioxidant’ is produced in all tissues of the body. It is formed via a two step enzymatic process. The first joins the amino acids glutamate and cysteine to make gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC) and the second adds a glycine molecule to make glutathione. But this system degrades as cells age, with the first enzyme losing its capacity to produce enough GGC to sustain the body’s glutathione needs. Free radical damage to DNA and other cellular structures then accelerates, hastening the senescence of cells. Instability of molecule presents challenge Glutathione supplementation has always been problematical because the ingredient is highly reactive by nature. The molecule tends to quickly fall apart into its component amino acids. This could still supply the building blocks for endogenous glutathione synthesis within the cells but it doesn’t address the degradation of the enzymatic function. Some existing ingredients have shown statistically significant increases in cellular glutathione levels but only after months of supplementation. However, Shah said his company’s Continual-G® dietary supplement, based on the Glyteine® ingredient which had been under development for years in Australia, was shown a placebo-controlled pilot study published in the journal Redox Biology to be taken directly into the cells, where it was available for the second stage of the glutathione synthesis pathway. The result was glutathione levels that peaked at two to three times above basal levels within 90 minutes of supplementation. In addition to the grant, INID Research Lab will receive one year of residency at an available JLABS, and mentorship from experts at Johnson & Johnson Innovation. “We feel this incredible opportunity will empower us to accelerate the development and global commercialization of Glyteine® to potentially bring about many more life-enhancing solutions,” Shah said. “We look forward to the opportunity to work with Johnson & Johnson Innovation as we aim to provide improved immune support options to people worldwide.” “It is gratifying that our 20-plus years of research and collaborative work by a group of Australian biochemical scientists and engineers has brought us to this point and is now being acknowledged by this award,” he added.

Know how to limit the damage of processed foods and oxidative stress with Continual-G® supplements. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Guilty Pleasures They are everywhere! It is hard not to come across the vast selection of processed foods lining supermarkets shelves, convenience stores, gas stations and probably even your office kitchenette l. Not to mention the fast-food chains spawning through our suburban streets, inviting us for a quick and easy meal. However, even in the relative safety of our homes, we are peppered with advertising luring us to part with our money for a snack we just happen to crave. It's a "silent" pandemic inflicted onto humanity – by humanity. But why? The food industry is huge; after all, everyone must eat and drink. But what if manufacturers could produce food that tickled our taste buds more than plain old vegetables? Moreover, what if this food, if you can call it that, could be produced cheaply and be addictive at the same time? Enter processed foods designed to have an optimal bliss point. That's food technologist speak for an optimal balance of sweetness, saltiness and fattiness, which, unfortunately, evolution has primed us to love. But we are way past the stone age, and there is nothing optimal about these modern foods. Well, that's not entirely true because they are very optimal for the profits of multinational food companies that shamelessly exploit this loophole provided by evolution. Designed to satisfy – but whom? Our brains are hardwired to seek out foods with a high calorific value or those that were once hard to come by. In essence, we are talking about fat, salt as well as sugar and other refined carbohydrates. It's a survival instinct designed to prepare us for the lean times, give us the energy to run from predators and other dangers or ensure our health when the selection of foods was very limited. Fat conveniently and deliciously coats our taste buds to proclaim its virtues; sugar does the same, but its irresistible sweetness is directly wired into our brain to release dopamine and opioids we all associate with addictions. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235907/ Salt, on the other hand, used to be a valuable commodity because, for our herbivorous ancestors, it was hard to come by. Since we evolved from ocean-dwelling creatures, our extracellular fluids still need a perfect balance of sodium for our body to function. And this has to come from the foods we eat and drink. No wonder we have developed hormones that, together with our sympathetic nervous system, immediately respond to low sodium and instigate a hunger and thirst response with a particular craving for salt. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2491403/ But worst of all, many of our modern foods combine these attributes into an easy to eat package. Fats and sugars in cakes and other sweet treats, salt and carbohydrates in chips and other snacks and we have even managed to combine salt and sugar in buzz foods such as salty caramel. The natural foods our ancestors came across did not share these characteristics. Fruits are high in sugar but have no fat, whereas meat is high in fat but has no carbohydrates. Vegetables and plants provided us with mainly fibre and some carbohydrates until the advent of ubiquitous agricultural staples such as wheat and potatoes. These provided humans with a now limitless supply of easy carbohydrates, which, in essence, are just another type of sugar. Evolution could never foresee these densely packed calorie combinations, so no wonder our brains are going haywire. Of course, the problem we modern humans face is that we don't need these hardwired survival responses anymore. Not only do our sedentary lifestyles reduce our calorie expenditure, but food is plentiful and, in most parts, non-seasonal. So, no need to wait for summer to indulge in sweet fruits and no need to hunt down an animal to prop up our fat reserves for winter. Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped the food industry from exploiting our ancient responses, an aspect of evolution that is now our weakness. The barrage of advertising and fanciful, attractive packaging of these foods is a testament to their importance in the manufacturer's profits. But it is not only the individual that is being manipulated by the food industry. There have been countless stories of how general advice on healthy eating may have been skewed in favour of profit by clever lobbying by industry to governments. So, the best advice is to do your own research. Processed foods explained So, what are processed foods? Processed is a term that signals an action taken to highly modify an original product. Processed foods are thus created bearing little resemblance to any natural types of food. Usually, they are a snack or convenience food, but these days, even so-called healthy foods can be very much processed. Take a cauliflower, for example. Healthy on its own but bought as a convenient ready meal in the form of cauliflower cheese, you probably find a disproportionate amount of fat, salt and sugar to make it tastier and easily preserved. There is also a distinction between processed and so-called highly or ultra-processed foods. The processing of foods includes simple steps such as curing, smoking, and canning, whereas ultra-processing adds cheap oils, sugar, preservatives, salt, artificial sweeteners and flavours. In summary, processed and ultra-processed foods share the following characteristics in any combination: High in calories High amounts of sugar, vegetable oils and salt Added preservatives and flavours Poor in micronutrients such as vitamins and mineral Have a long shelf life Aggressive advertising (when was the last time broccoli featured in an advertisement?) Our health at stake It is hardly a secret that the explosion of processed foods coincided with a massive rise in obesity and associated chronic diseases in the modern world. For example, Type 2 diabetes is directly associated with the excessive consumption of sugars and refined carbohydrates. It is on track to becoming the major health epidemic of the 21st century. And the cost to the economy, not to mention the suffering, is staggering. Each year about 7 million people develop Type 2 diabetes, and 80% of those will eventually succumb to cardiovascular disease. It is also estimated that a person with diabetes has five times the medical expenses of someone without it. Sadly, it will cut up to 14 years of the average lifespan. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3068646/ And all that for a chronic condition that is entirely preventable and even reversible. Processed foods also contain synthetic antioxidants such as are butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and propylgallate. These are great at preserving foods, but these toxins are entirely foreign to our body and need to be dealt with by the liver. Another ingredient used often in cured and smoked meats is sodium nitrite/nitrate which is added to improve the colour and prevent bacterial spoilage. This addition also improves the flavour but unfortunately leads to the production of nitrosamines in the food which are known carcinogens. A recent article published by the British Journal of Nutrition also found a strong correlation between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and oxidative DNA damage in otherwise healthy adolescents. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32513316/ Limiting the damage Let's face it. We all love to indulge at times, and even for the health-conscious, it is challenging to completely avoid processed foods. Limiting the dietary share of processed and ultra-processed foods is the obvious way forward to manage the spiralling epidemic of obesity and its associated chronic diseases. But there is also a way to reduce some of the damage processed foods inflict. For example, the added synthetic antioxidants need to be eliminated by the liver and glutathione is directly involved in the breakdown of these products. Similarly, nitrosamines are inactivated in the liver by reaction with glutathione. Likewise, oxidative stress can be minimized by cellular glutathione - our body's "Master Antioxidant". Unfortunately, our body's capacity to produce an adequate supply of glutathione declines with age and illness. Added to this, the more processed foods we consume, the higher the demand for glutathione. Without sufficient glutathione, our cells will suffer oxidative stress, which will lead to cell and tissue damage and consequent illness. Glyteine®, to date, is the only supplement that has been clinically proven to increase cellular glutathione rapidly and safely. Present in Continual-G® supplements, it can help restores cellular glutathione to a more healthy level. This will assist in detoxification and the elimination of oxidative stress brought about by consuming processed foods.

What is shrinking brain? Importance of glutathione the master antioxidant. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: A marvel of nature The evolution of the human brain is undoubtedly one of the most incredible accomplishments of nature. Our distinct cognitive abilities such as higher self-awareness, complex problem solving, and the invention of intricate tools have often been referred to as the “crowning achievement” of evolution. There are around 100 billion neurons in our brain connected by trillions of synapses – and all this in a neat package weighing less than 2 kilograms. But if we share more than 90% of our DNA with our closest animal relatives, what makes our brain unique? Whilst specific findings are yet to be made on this complicated subject, studies point to a phenomenon called plasticity. In simple terms, this refers to genetic inheritability. A study on chimpanzee brains concluded that the organizational structure of the cerebral cortex, where many of the higher functions reside, is much more genetically controlled than in humans. This means the ability of the chimpanzee brain to shape to its surroundings at birth is limited. The human brain, in contrast, is much less developed at birth and therefore has the means to literally shape itself, or adapt, to its surroundings as it develops. Researchers believe that this may well be the process by which evolution allowed our brains to advance to higher functions over many generations. But as marvellous our brain is, it is susceptible to disease and the aging process, just like the rest of our body. What causes our brain to age? Everyone experiences a bit of forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating. This can have many causes and is usually nothing to worry about when we are younger. But with progressing age, degeneration in the brain accelerates. This is a process by which the neurons in our brains become damaged and can even die, leading to profound consequences for our quality of life. Whilst we can’t stop aging, we can identify the root cause of the reduction in nervous system activity and find ways to slow its onset. Many studies point to the presence of excess free radicals, as a major contributor to the progression of the reduced neuronal activity. Free radicals are continuously produced by our body as a by-product of energy production, called cellular respiration. But stress, toxins, exercise, chronic illness and unhealthy lifestyle choices also contribute to free radical production. Over time, this causes our brains to “shrink”, a term for decreased neural activity. And as a result, our brain progressively functions at sub-optimal levels. Powerful protection against free radicals Our body has developed an elaborate and formidable way to deal with the damage caused by free radicals. Many compounds, commonly known as antioxidants, work in synergy to protect our cells from the damage resulting from excess free radicals. We have all heard about them and may even take supplements to boost their levels. But the king of all antioxidants is glutathione which is produced in every cell to deal with the constant threat of free radicals. But glutathione does more than that because it also recycles common antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E, recharging them, so to speak. Glutathione’s significance is well studied and without question. The brain is especially reliant upon glutathione due to its ability to both reduce neurotoxicity, or nerve cell damage, and its ability to bind with and remove heavy metals like lead and mercury. Glutathione also offers powerful protection against the damage caused by free radicals on brain cells. Our body’s ability to effectively repair DNA is also essential for protecting us from aging. Once again, studies have shown that glutathione plays a crucial role in this process. Maintaining cellular glutathione If our antioxidant defences are so elaborate, how are free radicals able to cause so much damage? Unfortunately, like everything in nature, nothing is perfect. The pace of free radical generation can often outstrip the cellular production of glutathione. This is due to various factors, but ageing, chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, poor digestion, stress, viral infections, heavy metal toxins, radiation, and medications can all dramatically affect glutathione production. And this is not without consequences. Studies have shown that it is possible to predict the risk of degenerative diseases and cancer by the body’s ability to make enough glutathione. The liver being the bodies primary detoxification organ contains the largest glutathione reserve, so anything that impedes liver function will also reduce our glutathione. The brain subsequently becomes glutathione deficient resulting in compromised brain function. The holy grail Supplementing cellular glutathione levels has been the subject of countless studies. Glutathione does not perform its free radical scavenging function outside the cell, so we need to get glutathione inside the cell. But this is not an easy task, and there are many obstacles. Taking glutathione itself, in any form, does not work as it can’t enter cells. So-called cysteine pro-drugs such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC) do not increase cellular glutathione either for the simple reason that we are not deficient in cysteine. There is plenty inside our cells, so taking more is futile. This is why effective cellular glutathione enhancement has been dubbed the “Holy Grail” by scientists. But there is a new ingredient on the market that has drastically changed this: Glyteine®! It is the cell’s naturally occurring immediate precursor to glutathione and lower levels of its production in the cell are the main reason why glutathione levels can be below optimal. The Glyteine® present in Continual-G® supplements does indeed enter cells and is rapidly converted to glutathione. Being the immediate precursor to glutathione, cells can make use of it without limitations and will produce glutathione for as long as there is an ample supply of Glyteine®. This ensures optimal cellular glutathione levels and a healthy brain. Glyteine® is unique in this ability and has taken the crown as the only ingredient clinically proven to rapidly increase cellular glutathione safely and in a single dose! - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-05-17T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:36:15-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/The_shrinking_brain_7d857f55-623e-4756-8573-c5584b48414e.jpg?v=1749470061&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [How to Boost Glutathione in the Body: 7 Essential Tips](https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/how-to-boost-glutathione-in-the-body-experts-reveal-7-essential-tips): Discover 7 essential tips to boost your body's ultimate antioxidant, glutathione, and maintain overall health and wellness. Learn how to reduce oxidative stress and prevent chronic diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders with these expert-revealed strategies! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: In recent years, a new trend has emerged in the world of health and wellness: glutathione. This powerful antioxidant, naturally produced by every cell in the body, has long been known for its role in protecting cells and promoting overall health. However, with advancements in nutritional science and supplement technology, strategies for boosting our glutathione levels as we age are now being touted as potential fountains of youth. But what exactly is glutathione, and how might boosting our body's production of it become integral to achieving better health and longevity? Understanding Glutathione Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It is produced within each of our body's cells and plays a crucial role in cellular detoxification, immune function, and energy production. Our glutathione levels can be depleted to unhealthy levels or overwhelmed by poor diets, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, aging, and acute and chronic illness. Research has shown that insufficient cellular glutathione is associated with many medical conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and cancer. The Role of Glutathione in Health Glutathione's multifaceted roles in maintaining good health are underscored by scientific studies: Antioxidant Properties: Glutathione acts as a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body. This action helps protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, which can lead to inflammation and cellular degeneration. Studies have shown that glutathione deficiency leads to increased levels of oxidative stress, potentially leading to diseases like cancer. Immune System Support: Glutathione plays a significant role in maintaining immune function by enhancing the activity of natural killer cells and macrophages, crucial for fighting off infections. Detoxification: It aids in the detoxification process by facilitating the removal of toxins from cells, thereby reducing their harmful effects on overall health. Glutathione has been shown to improve the elimination of drugs and pollutants from our bodies. Neuroprotection: Research suggests that boosting glutathione levels in the brain may help protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's by scavenging free radicals. Cardiovascular Health: Lower levels of glutathione have been linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Boosting glutathione levels could potentially reduce this risk by enhancing endothelial function and reducing oxidative stress. Rise of Glutathione Supplements Given its potential benefits, it's no surprise that glutathione supplements have gained popularity in recent years. These supplements come in various forms—capsules, oral tablets, injections, and even topical creams—and aim to replenish depleted glutathione levels. Oral Supplements: Oral capsules and tablets are perhaps the most common form of glutathione supplementation. However, there is ongoing debate about whether oral supplements can effectively increase intracellular glutathione levels due to its poor bioavailability for entering cells without being broken down. The concentration of glutathione in blood plasma is more than one thousand times lower than that inside cells. This means it cannot passively diffuse into cells because of this huge negative concentration gradient. In fact, all cells except for red blood cells (RBC) are coated with an enzyme (gamma-glutamyl transferase, GGT)that effectively digests glutathione into its three component amino acids. There is also no credible clinical data to show that the administration of a dose of glutathione will boost cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis (basal levels). Injectable Forms: Some practitioners recommend injectable forms of glutathione for better delivery into the bloodstream. These methods require professional administration and carry risks such as allergic reactions. There is also no clinical evidence that IV-delivered glutathione will boost cellular glutathione above homeostasis. Topical Creams: Topical application is another route gaining traction; these creams aim to provide localized antioxidant benefits without the need for systemic absorption. A study conducted by a large glutathione manufacturer found that glutathione is unstable when formulated into topical creams. Glutathione, therefore, cannot provide any benefit when used in creams, lotions, and serums. Ethical Considerations As with any health trend or supplement regimen, ethical considerations must be addressed: Regulation & Safety: The regulation of dietary supplements varies by country; some jurisdictions offer stricter guidelines than others regarding safety standards for supplements like glutathione. Ensuring these standards are met is crucial to avoid potential harm. Quality Control: Ensuring the quality control of dietary supplements is paramount; manufacturers should adhere strictly to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to avoid contamination or adulteration risks. Professional Advice: Always consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new supplement regimen; they can provide personalized advice based on individual health needs and potential interactions with other medications. Insufficient glutathione and poor health The scientific community continues to explore the intricacies of glutathione's role in human health through various studies. If you were to search Google Scholar using the keywords “glutathione” and the name of any medical condition that interests you, you will more than likely find numerous peer-reviewed published reports describing research findings that implicate cellular glutathione deficiency and associated oxidative stress as a causative agent. Why do cells produce insufficient glutathione to prevent oxidative stress? Cellular homeostatic glutathione levels can be overwhelmed during aging and when we become ill due to the onset of new or increased streams of free radicals generated by dysfunctional metabolism. When this happens, our cells enter oxidative stress which damages all cellular components including nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. This leads to a vicious cycle that diminishes the capacity of our cells to make glutathione and maintain homeostasis. As a consequence, the affected cells (and their associated organs) lose physiological function, which manifests as symptoms. What supplements can I take to boost my cellular glutathione levels? When you look at how glutathione is synthesised in cells and how glutathione homeostasis is maintained, you will understand that there is only one theoretical nutrient based (supplement) option available to you. That is gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC), which is only currently available in proprietary form (Glyteine ®) in the Continual-G® line of dietary supplements). Why is Glyteine® the only option I have for boosting my cellular glutathione levels? The answer is simple. Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of the three amino acids, glutamate, cysteine, and glycine and is synthesised in cells via two sequential reactions. The first forms gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC) from glutamate and cysteine and the second adds a glycine to the GGC to form glutathione. Cellular glutathione homeostasis is regulated by glutathione inhibiting the activity of the enzyme that forms GGC when glutathione levels are at homeostasis , e.g., ~10 mM in liver cells; ~1 mM in neurons. This means that the only theoretical nutrient-based option for increasing cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis is GGC (the product of the regulated enzyme). This capacity has been clinically confirmed in a human bioavailability study. What about NAC and Glutathione supplements? N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a low toxicity form of cysteine that feeds into the enzyme that makes GGC. All it offers is an option for helping cells reach and maintain homeostasis. This is valuable for treating acetaminophen overdose, which involves a severe depletion of glutathione in liver cells. It cannot however boost glutathione levels above homeostasis, which is needed when aging and illness leads to increased streams of free radicals that overwhelm our glutathione pools. As glutathione is broken down into its three component amino acids as it enters cells, it also simply provides a source of building blocks for glutathione synthesis inside the cells. It is just like NAC which provides an option for cells to maintain homeostasis but not exceed it. Unlike for GGC, there are no published human clinical studies for NAC or glutathione, that their administration can increase cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis following a single dose. There are published studies for glutathione that suggest that daily administration of glutathione will progressively increase cellular levels but these admit they cannot offer any biochemical explanation as to how this could possibly happen? With one reporting, when discussing the observed increases in glutathione levels, that "Using this experimental design, the mechanism of GSH induction could not be ascertained" What published research is there that GGC supplements could have health benefits? During aging and in chronic illness, metabolic dysfunctions lead to increased/new streams of free radicals that overwhelm homeostatic glutathione levels, which results in oxidative stress that causes damage to cellular components (lipids, nucleic acids and proteins) and loss of physiological function, which manifests as symptoms. GGC provides an option for quenching these excess free radicals, alleviating oxidative stress and allowing an opportunity for the affected cells to recover. There are numerous recent reports published demonstrating GGC's efficacy in animal/in-vitro models (including AD) for various medical conditions which can be accessed via a Google search. Clinical Trials: Future clinical trials will aim to elucidate whether boosting glutathione levels can lead to tangible health improvements. Mechanistic Studies: Researchers are also delving into mechanistic studies aimed at understanding how glutathione interacts with cellular pathways at a molecular level; this could lead to more targeted therapeutic strategies. As our understanding of glutathione deepens, its potential impact on achieving better health and longevity becomes increasingly compelling. While more research is needed to fully harness its benefits, current evidence suggests that boosting cellular glutathione may serve as a vital approach in maintaining cellular integrity and mitigating oxidative stress—two key factors in healthy aging. Ultimately, while the trend towards glutathione boosting is intriguing, it is crucial to approach this topic with a balanced perspective—one that considers both scientific evidence and ethical responsibilities. As always, consulting with healthcare professionals before embarking on any new regimen ensures that we can maximize potential benefits while minimizing risks. The rise of glutathione boosting as a health trend reflects our evolving understanding of antioxidant needs within modern society—needs that are increasingly recognized as pivotal for maintaining optimal well-being across diverse ages and lifestyles. Whether through natural dietary sources or targeted supplements, boosting cellular glutathione levels could indeed hold promise for enhancing overall health outcomes—a prospect worth exploring further through rigorous scientific inquiry. This comprehensive article not only delves into the intricacies of glutathione but also emphasizes the importance of responsible supplementation practices while highlighting ongoing research efforts aimed at fully realizing its health benefits. By doing so, it fosters an informed dialogue about how gamma-glutamylcysteine supplementation might play a crucial role in achieving better health and longevity—a theme resonating with both scientific communities and health-conscious readers alike.

However, did you know that glutathione is the immune system's best-kept secret and is one of the key players when it comes to all things health and well-being? This is because glutathione is the master cellular antioxidant and is pivotal and essential in the ongoing battle to keep free radicals at bay. You can read our full glutathione blog post here. In this blog post, we take you through a breakdown of immunity and how Continual-G® supports good health. The Immune System Our immune system is a complex network of organs, cells and proteins that defend our bodies against infection. In other words, it acts as our main shield of defence, ensuring our bodies always remain in good health by protecting us from outside invaders - including bacteria, viruses, and toxins, to name a few. But there are times when our immune system becomes overburdened and/or is unable to effectively fend off these bacterial and viral pathogens, which can lead to compromised health. This susceptibility to infections can result from a variety of factors including stress, lack of sleep (as mentioned above), or our varied lifestyles, which can all deplete our cellular glutathione levels. When this happens, we may find that our bodies tend to become sick more frequently, we always feel run down and/or tired, and we lack the energy to complete certain tasks. Continual-G® and Good Health You may be wondering how Continual-G® fits into the picture for your immunity. For starters, your cellular glutathione levels - your body's master antioxidant - can decline when you're stressed, over-exercising or just from your lifestyles.

Twice a day, every day. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Are you one that regularly works out? But are you sweating more than seeing any results? We know how important it is that you get the most out of your workout sessions, which is one of the many reasons why our Continual-G® supplements are for you. In this blog post, we will talk about all things Continual-G® and why it is the most valuable player when it comes to working out. What happens to our bodies when we work out? There is no denying that working out naturally results in us breathing in more oxygen. As a result, the rate of oxygen-based free radical (reactive oxygen species, ROS), production increases within our cells. The longer and harder we exercise, the faster our glutathione (the master antioxidant) producing mechanisms are challenged to keep up with demand. During extensive, strenuous aerobic/high cardio exercise you risk exceeding your cell’s capacity to keep up with its need for glutathione. If and when this happens, your cells will enter oxidative stress, which if left too long can result in damage that will require a period of recovery before your exercise routines can be resumed at optimal performance. Continual-G® and Working Out So how does Continual-G® become the real MVP when it comes to working out? When taken before exercise, the Glyteine in our Continual-G® products boosts your cellular glutathione levels. This means that your cells will have a glutathione reserve buffer to help protect them against the exercise-induced onslaught of free radicals and the risk of damaging oxidative stress. You can see how taking Continual-G® before your workout sessions not only provides support for optimal physical activity, but it also supports recovery from that activity. Plus, we are the only credible supplement on the market that is capable of increasing your cellular glutathione levels after a single dose - meaning you can work out with confidence knowing that you’re getting the most out of your training sessions.

Understand the benefits of Glyteine. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Now more than ever we need optimum protection for our health and well-being. Off the back of the pandemic, it is evident that looking after our health and equipping it with the relevant tools has never been more important. Our supplement Continual-G® provides the support you need for living life like you mean it thanks to our powerful ingredient Glyteine®. This blog post sets out to explain what Glyteine is and what it means for you and your health. What is Glyteine? Glyteine is the most important building block of glutathione - the master antioxidant. Without Glyteine, our cells are unable to produce glutathione. You can read about how Glyteine was discovered here. Glyteine is the only supplement capable of boosting your cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis to relieve oxidative stress. Glyteine is the only theoretical and clinically proven natural supplement able to do this following a single dose. Other glutathione "enhancing" products on the market claiming to increase glutathione are not backed by science - no theoretical biochemical mechanism for boosting and no scientific evidence to back their claims. These so-called supplements are just value-added by-products of other industries. They may be cheaper than Continual-G® - but if they do not work - then which really is the most expensive? Glyteine is not a by-product, it was purposefully developed over a period of more than 20 years. Glyteine is a naturally occurring and is made in every cell of your body as part of the normal process of glutathione production. Our clinical study has proven that Glyteine will increase your cellular glutathione levels within a few hours of consumption. For more information on Glyteine check out our blog post here What does Glyteine mean for your health? Now that we've covered what Glyteine is, you may be wondering what this means for you and your health. In simple terms, our cells produce glutathione through a two-step process. The first step produces Glyteine, the second step converts Glyteine to glutathione. As we age, the first step becomes less active, which compromises glutathione production. By directly supplying our cells with Glyteine, we can effectively bypass this first step and boost their glutathione to more healthy levels. Because of Glyteine's unique ability to increase cellular glutathione safely and rapidly, we can counteract free radical damage by assisting the body's natural repair mechanisms - this will help prevent oxidative stress, and the damage it causes, and potentially increase our health span no matter what stage of life we are in. So what does this mean for your health? By counteracting free radical damage and minimising oxidative stress, your body is able to defend itself against viruses and illnesses more effectively. Something that is so crucial in today's world. Infectious diseases are everywhere - you just never know when you are going to encounter one. However, the pandemic has taught us well that we will all be meeting quite a few during the course of our lives.

One thing that you may have heard about but may not completely understand is oxidation's role in potentially accelerating aging. "What happens on the skin is actually a wonderful model of what's happening on the inside," - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D. CNS, explained during a BYURadio interview on SiriusXM. "Cut an avocado and it browns quickly. That's oxidative damage, which is free radical damage. Similarly, when we're exposed to too much sun, our skin browns and wrinkles. That's also oxidation." He added that oxidative damage happens on the inside of the body as well. Bowden explained that oxidative damage can be caused by exposure to everyday toxins as well as stress. "When your system is fighting against all these things, it doesn't have much time to focus on your immune system," he commented. He told the hosts that glutathione is the “Holy Grail” for fighting free radicals, but that the body's ability to produce glutathione lessens as we age. While he stated that there are no good food sources of glutathione, he said that he has finally found an effective way to boost his glutathione levels: the Glyteine® in Continual-G®. "When you give your body Glyteine®, within 90 minutes you'll have more glutathione." Glyteine® increases cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis. - **author.name**: Gaurav Kadam - **dateModified**: 2025-05-09T05:29:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-08T05:30:02-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/07.jpg?v=1747740073&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Glutathione vs Vitamin C: The Ultimate Antioxidant Showdown](https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/glutathione-vs-vitamin-c-the-ultimate-antioxidant-showdown): Discover the ultimate showdown between glutathione and vitamin C Learn how these powerful antioxidants combat oxidative stress and enhance youthful skin and health. Read now to unlock their secrets! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: In the pursuit of youthful skin and robust health, two antioxidants have emerged as top contenders: glutathione and Vitamin C. Both have garnered significant attention for their roles in combating oxidative stress and enhancing overall well-being. But how do these two giants stack up against each other? Role of Vitamin C Vitamin C is one of the most well-known antioxidants due to its high bioavailability and versatility. Found abundantly in fruits and vegetables like citrus fruits, bell peppers, and leafy greens, Vitamin C is a powerful tool against oxidative stress. It acts as a potent scavenger of free radicals within the body, contributing significantly to immune function by enhancing the production of white blood cells. Moreover, Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, which is vital for maintaining healthy skin and connective tissues. Its ability to boost the absorption of other nutrients like iron makes it an essential component in maintaining optimal health. Power of Glutathione Glutathione is an endogenous antioxidant that operates at the cellular level. It is composed of three amino acids (protein building blocks): cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is considered the master antioxidant due to its role in recycling other antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E and through its direct and indirect (enzymic) neutralization of free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Every cell in every living organism, from bacteria to us, uses oxygen to source its metabolic energy and produces its own supply of glutathione. On the other hand, none of our cells produce Vitamin C, which means we need to consume sufficient amounts of it in our diet. When Vitamin C is oxidized as it neutralizes a free radical, it forms dehydroascorbate, which glutathione then recycles back to the reduced form, ascorbic acid. This means that taking a Vitamin C supplement is going to be of little help if our cells have insufficient glutathione. Beyond its antioxidant activity, glutathione also participates in various metabolic processes, including detoxification pathways and immune function modulation. Synergy Between Glutathione and Vitamin C While both antioxidants are effective individually against oxidative stress, their combined efforts can be particularly potent. The regeneration of Vitamin C by glutathione ensures that both compounds work together seamlessly to neutralize free radicals more effectively than either could alone. This synergy underscores the importance of maintaining optimal levels of both glutathione and vitamin C for comprehensive protection against cellular damage. Practical Applications Addressing our Vitamin C needs is straightforward by including foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits in our diet. For glutathione it is much much more complex. As we age and during chronic illness our cells become exposed to increased streams of endogenous free radicals generated from dysfunctional metabolism. This means that though our cells are still making glutathione, the amount is no longer enough to prevent oxidative stress and the cellular damage that ensues. Similarly, when we are exposed to extreme free radical insults such as from ingesting or breathing in toxins or undertaking extreme exercise we rapidly deplete our cells of its glutathione reserves resulting in injury generating oxidative stress. Consuming glutathione rich foods, or taking a glutathione of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) supplement cannot help as they are simply not bioavailable to boost your cells glutathione levels above basal (homeostatic) levels. The only theoretical and clinically proven supplement capable of this, is gamma glutamylcysteine (GGC, Glyteine®), which is the immediate precursor for cellular glutathione synthesis. Given that the majority of chronic medical conditions involve inadequate cellular glutathione levels and consequent oxidative stress, including Glyteine in your diet may well be of benefit as a complementary or adjunct nutrient based approach to help manage the condition alongside standard pharmaceutical interventions. Consult with your healthcare providers for their opinion as to whether boosting your cellular glutathione levels through Glyteine is appropriate for your health situation. For acute toxin or exercise induced glutathione depletion, taking NAC or glutathione supplements may be of benefit in ensuring that you have enough circulating amino acid building blocks (in particular cysteine) to maintain optimum cellular glutathione production rates. But if the exercise is too extreme or toxin (e.g., alcohol) levels are too high, your glutathione depletion rate could well exceed your cells capacity to make it. In these instances, consumption of Glyteine before, during and after exposure offers a mechanism to boost your cellular glutathione reserves above normal (homeostasis) providing a buffer against the upcoming tidal wave of free radicals. Challenges in Research While extensive research supports the benefits of both antioxidants individually as well as their combined effect—there remains ongoing debate about optimal dosing regimens particularly concerning supplementation, which highlights challenges faced by researchers due largely due variability of human physiological responses alongside limitations inherent experimental designs, thus necessitating continued rigorous study under controlled conditions before making definitive conclusions. In the complex world of antioxidants, two players stand out as champions of skin health and overall well-being: glutathione and Vitamin C. Both have earned their places in the spotlight, each offering unique benefits that can transform your skincare routine and enhance your immune system Vitamin C is a potent warrior against free radicals, protecting your skin from the ravages of UV exposure and collagen loss. It's a master of cell regeneration, brightening your complexion and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. When used topically, Vitamin C can be up to 20 times more potent than when taken orally, making it a go-to ingredient for many skincare enthusiasts. However, some individuals may find that Vitamin C's potency comes with a price: skin sensitivity. This is where glutathione steps in. Glutathione is more than just an antioxidant; it's a guardian of cellular health. It works in multiple ways to combat oxidative stress and hyperpigmentation, making it an excellent target for those seeking a more even skin tone. The efficacy of including glutathione in skin creams is a matter of scientific debate given that boosting skin cell glutathione levels can only be achieved with gamma-glutamylcysteine. While gamma-glutamylcysteine’s glutathione boosting bioavailability and Vitamin C’s antioxidant activity offer remarkable benefits on their own, combining them could create an unbeatable synergy. Glutathione and Vitamin C work hand-in-hand in the body's cellular defense system. The ultimate antioxidant showdown between glutathione and Vitamin C reveals that each compound brings its own strengths to the table. For those seeking radiant, youthful skin with minimal irritation risk, gamma-glutamylcysteine (Glyteine®) stands out as a compelling choice. Whether you choose one or both, remember: in the battle against oxidative stress, every antioxidant counts—and together they can deliver unparalleled results for your health and beauty goals.

He suggests taking Continual-G® before working out. Glutathione supports the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), a nucleotide which carries energy within our cells. ATP helps keep our muscles, as well as all our cells, functioning properly. Read below for his staying fit after 40 tips. Don’t skip the warmup. You may have been able to get away with it when you were younger, but now it’s important to prime your muscles and nervous system. Working out with tight, stiff muscles is a sure way to end up with knee and/or back pain. Be careful not to over train. Lately, some people are doing online boot camps every day. Some people are doing two workouts a day then going for a run! That’s not giving your body the recovery time it needs. Your body can only handle so much. And think about the free radicals created! You don’t necessarily need to rest every day but you should alternate your workouts. Do upper body one day. Do core work the next. Try doing a stretching program or yoga one day a week. This works wonders. Get rid of the free radical mess caused by training. Timing is important. You want a healthy supply of antioxidants on board when your body is at its peak of free radical imbalance. Glutathione is a very potent antioxidant that our bodies make on their own. But as we age, our glutathione-making process becomes less efficient so we need to find another way to offset the free radicals. Glyteine®, an ingredient found in Continual-G® drink mix, stimulates the body to make more glutathione in the cells, where it’s needed most. Take it before working out. It reaches its peak within about two hours, and stays with you for six to seven hours. Eat more protein. Insufficient protein intake is a big problem among older adults, especially women. Without protein, you lose muscle tissue, get injured more easily and you won’t recover from exercise as quickly. Plan to eat a high-protein shake or snack within 30 minutes after finishing a workout. That’s the window when your body is hungry for nutrients and will absorb them faster. For your meals, adding some cold-water seafood such as salmon, mackerel or sardines is a good choice, because they contain omega-3s which can help with muscle recovery and decrease inflammation. Get adequate rest. Deep, restorative sleep is when your body does most of its recovery work. You’ll know you’re getting enough sleep when you wake up in the morning feeling well rested and ready to go. - **author.name**: Gaurav Kadam - **dateModified**: 2025-05-12T05:32:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-08T05:32:31-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/05.jpg?v=1747739746&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Glutathione Deficiency and Oxidative Stress](https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/glutathione-deficiency-how-low-levels-of-a-key-antioxidant-contribute-to-oxidative-stress-and-diseas): Learn how low glutathione levels contribute to oxidative stress and disease. Discover the crucial role of this antioxidant in cellular health and how deficiencies impact overall well-being. #GlutathioneDeficiency #OxidativeStress #CellularHealth **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: In the intricate ballet of cellular health, a silent guardian stands watch against the relentless onslaught of oxidative stress. This guardian is glutathione, a ubiquitous molecule that plays a critical role in neutralizing free radicals and maintaining our body’s delicate metabolic balance. However, when glutathione levels inside our cells are insufficient, the consequences can be far-reaching and devastating. Significance of Glutathione Glutathione, a tripeptide composed of the amino acids (protein building blocks) cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid, is synthesized in every cell of the body. This potent antioxidant works by neutralizing free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cellular components and lead to oxidative stress. Glutathione also plays a pivotal role in detoxification processes, helping to remove harmful substances from the body Consequences of Glutathione Deficiency A deficiency in glutathione can arise from various factors including poor diet, chronic illness, and exposure to environmental toxins. When glutathione levels are low, cells become more susceptible to oxidative damage. This heightened vulnerability can contribute to a range of health issues, from mild conditions like fatigue and muscle weakness to more severe conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. One of the most significant impacts of a glutathione deficiency is its contribution to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when the body produces more free radicals than it can neutralize, leading to a cascade of molecular damage that disrupts normal cellular function. This imbalance can affect various organs and tissues, exacerbating conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurological disorders. Role in Disease Development Research has shown that glutathione plays a crucial role in the development and progression of several diseases. For instance, individuals with Alzheimer's disease often exhibit low levels of glutathione in their brains. This deficiency can contribute to the accumulation of amyloid beta plaques and tau tangles, hallmarks of the disease. Similarly, in cancer cells, glutathione levels are often elevated to protect against chemotherapy-induced damage, highlighting its significance in cancer biology. In addition to neurological and oncological implications, glutathione deficiency has also been linked to cardiovascular health. Studies have demonstrated that low glutathione levels are associated with increased susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and atherosclerosis. Dietary Interventions Genetics, chronic illness, environmental factors and even the aging process can influence glutathione levels. Unfortunately, dietary interventions including foods and supplements rich in glutathione and sulfur-containing amino acids like cysteine (including N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), vitamin C, and vitamin E have been repeatedly proven to be ineffective in boosting cellular glutathione above basal levels (homeostasis). The best they can do is help cells maintain glutathione at homeostatic levels, but these are insufficient to prevent oxidative stress when chronic illness and aging generate new streams of free radicals through metabolic dysfunction. Similarly, basal glutathione levels are insufficient to protect against oxidative stress when we are exposed to extreme bursts of free radicals through exposure to environmental toxins (e.g., smoke, alcohol) or during the performance of extreme exercise. The only supplement with a theoretical basis for increasing cellular glutathione levels and which has been clinically proven is glutathione’s immediate precursor, gamma-glutamylcysteine. Why gamma-glutamylcysteine can Boost Cellular Glutathione Levels and other supplements cannot. Glutathione is synthesized in cells by two sequential enzyme catalyzed reactions. The first enzyme, glutamate cysteine ligase (GCL) joins glutamate and cysteine to form gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC), the second enzyme glutathione synthetase adds a glycine (basal level), glutathione interacts with the GCL enzyme to effectively turn it off and stop the synthesis of GGC and consequently stop the synthesis of glutathione. By understanding this, it is plainly obvious that the only option for boosting cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis, is GGC, as it is the product of the enzyme (GCL) that has been turned off by the glutathione homeostatic regulatory control system. This unique bioavailability of GGC has been clinically proven. NAC enters cells, is deacetylated, and feeds into the GCL enzyme. Glutathione is broken down into its three component amino acids as it enters the cell, which then feed into GCL. As GCL is turned off at homeostasis, both NAC and glutathione supplements can do nothing to boost cellular glutathione levels. There are no published clinical studies to show otherwise. Clinical Implications All medical conditions involve to some degree insufficient cellular glutathione levels and consequent oxidative stress. Though some healthcare providers often assess glutathione levels through various diagnostic tools such as blood tests and genetic analyses, these are of negligible benefit in monitoring, or informing you of, your cellular glutathione status. Homeostatic glutathione levels vary from tissue to tissue, ranging from 0.5 mM in neurons through to 10 mM in the liver. Free radical production differs from tissue to tissue and from person to person and, as such, it is not possible to define a universal target healthy glutathione level that is required to adequately control free radical levels and keep oxidative stress at bay. What you can be sure of is, that during aging and illness or following extreme exercise or exposure to toxins, is that whatever your glutathione levels are, they are simply not high enough to protect you against oxidative stress. Understanding glutathione’s role in health can also inform broader public health strategies. Promoting gamma-glutamylcysteine (Glyteine ®) to boost cellular glutathione levels in communities prone to oxidative stress-related diseases could help mitigate these conditions at a population level. Glutathione’s importance in maintaining cellular health cannot be overstated. A deficiency in this critical antioxidant can have far-reaching consequences for overall well-being. By recognizing the role of glutathione in oxidative stress and disease development, we can better understand both the need for adequate antioxidant protection and the potential benefits of targeted interventions such as Glyteine®. As we navigate the complexities of modern health challenges, it is essential to prioritize knowledge about critical antioxidants like glutathione. By doing so, we can foster a more comprehensive approach to preventive care and potentially delay or even prevent some of the most debilitating diseases we face today.

Why is Glyteine different from NAC? Why NAC and glutathione supplements don’t work? Read more to understand. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: and why this popular silver bullet does not live up to its reputation for increasing glutathione The online world is awash with remarkable claims about the mystical powers of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a way to increase glutathione. One could easily be forgiven to conclude that this compound is the silver bullet for anyone looking to enhance cellular glutathione. But does NAC live up to its reputation, and where did all these claims originate from? To find out, we need to look at how glutathione is actually made inside our cells. Before all that, however, let’s take a short trip into hospital - because that’s where NAC truly does serve an important purpose. The perils of Acetaminophen Scores of people all over the world suffer from a vast range of usually benign painful conditions ranging from headaches to toothaches and the many other sufferings we encounter day to day. No wonder there is a vast range of painkillers available to alleviate the aching troubles of everyday life. The most popular and usually well-tolerated painkiller is acetaminophen. Also known as paracetamol outside the USA, it has many brand names, the most common being Tylenol and Panadol. Invented as far back as 1877, it didn’t become popular as the go-to painkiller until the mid-twentieth century. Most people have reached for acetaminophen at some point in their lives, oblivious to the fact that, in high doses, it can have fatal consequences. Taking more acetaminophen than the recommended daily limit is toxic to the liver and is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the western world. Whether taken as deliberate act or by accident, excess acetaminophen will lead to a painful and lengthy death while it slowly erodes the liver. In many cases, a liver transplant is the only option. NAC was first suggested as an antidote back in 1974 when it was recognized that an overdose of acetaminophen exhausts all hepatic (in the liver) glutathione stores. The reason for this is that glutathione has the unenviable job of mopping up all the free radicals produced as it attempts to neutralize acetaminophen. In this unique case only, where hepatic glutathione is catastrophically reduced to almost zero, NAC provides our cells with cysteine, one of glutathione's building blocks. This can sometimes give the liver a fighting chance to recover. As you can see, however, this is an exceptional use for NAC in hospital settings only. But it wasn’t long before misguided researchers and marketers jumped onto the bandwagon and suggested selling NAC as a glutathione enhancer for everyone. If it works in hospital, indeed it will work for healthy people! Sorry, but it isn’t that simple. The truth is that cysteine is not required, unless you are suffering from acetaminophen overdose. Not only are our diets rich in cysteine, but foremost, it is a non-essential amino acid which our body can synthesize on its own. This is the reason why acetaminophen overdose is the only medically registered use of NAC to date. Not content with skewing this truth in their favour, NAC has been adorned with quite a few more astonishing feats that simply do not hold out when put under the microscope. One of these is the misleading claim that NAC is an antioxidant in its own right. But this has been debunked in a prestige medical journal Supplement companies may disagree with this view; however, the FDA has recently decided that enough is enough with misleading claims on the efficacy of NAC outside its only registered use and moved to disallow the sale of NAC as a dietary supplement. It looks like the silver bullet has lost its shine. You may also be interested in knowing that NAC is not a natural product. It is produced in chemical factories by combining cysteine with acetic acid. Adverse reactions are possible and have been documented. A not so palatable fact you might consider when reaching for a pill with NAC. The need for glutathione supplementation (and why NAC doesn’t fit the bill) A cursory glance at the clinical trial register in the U.S. reveals more than 425 trials using NAC in diverse diseases, usually with very disappointing results. But because they were not successful in showing that NAC is in any way helpful, they were never published. So, the truth about NAC’s failures remains (perhaps conveniently) hidden. After all, a cheap product loaded with false premises is always a popular item – for the company that makes it! However, what this shows is that researchers are acutely aware of the critical role glutathione depletion plays in the progress of both aging and many illnesses. They also understand that a fast and effective way to supplement it is imperative for useful research to be carried out. So, all these studies are a reflection of the growing frustration amongst the fraternity to somehow make NAC work to enhance cellular glutathione. The problem is, it just doesn’t work! So, let’s move on from our stint in hospital and look in more detail how glutathione is made in the body. Glutathione Synthesis – a tale of three amino acids Glutathione is a protein, albeit a small one called a tripeptide because it consists of only three amino acids: Cysteine, Glutamate and Glycine. Figure 1 shows how these three amino acids combine to form glutathione with the aid of two enzymes GCL and GS, abbreviations for glutamate-cysteine ligase and glutathione synthetase. GCL is the first step, combining cysteine and glutamate to form gamma-glutamylcysteine (which we call by our proprietary Glyteine®. The second enzyme GS then bonds gamma-glutamylcysteine with the amino acid glycine to form glutathione. Whilst all this may sound a little overly technical, it is important to understand before you spend your money on supplements that are based on hype rather than science. Interestingly, all three amino acids used for glutathione synthesis are non-essential – our body can make its own. Consequently, there is no need to ingest more cysteine in the form of NAC as it will make no difference to glutathione production. You may rightly ask why then may we need to supplement glutathione at all? Bypassing GCL with Glyteine® Just like NAC in normal circumstances, reaching for glutathione itself as a supplement does not work either to increase cellular glutathione. This is well established since glutathione can’t enter cells. It doesn’t matter how or in what form we may unwittingly choose to do so. Marketeers have come up with ingenious names and even try to convince us to inject it (NOT recommended) or put it up our noses. The result is the same and it is simply broken down outside our cells. So, what can we do and should we? Well, let’s look at the two main reasons why we may need to enhance our cellular glutathione: As we age, the first enzyme GCL, progressively slows down, resulting in permanently lowered glutathione levels below optimal. It is postulated that this is the reason why we age and become more susceptible to illness in our advancing years Environmental and lifestyle factors such as toxins, stress, smoking, and strenuous exercise can quickly deplete glutathione, which is needed to neutralize the damaging free radicals produced due to these factors. The body is slow to replenish glutathione, caused by these free radicals leading to oxidative stress that can cause havoc to our body on multiple fronts In both cases, the Glyteine® found in Continual-G® acts to quickly replenish cellular glutathione by feeding directly into the GS enzyme. Glyteine® thus bypasses a slowing GCL enzyme as we age and acts fast to bring glutathione back up to normal levels during everyday activities. But it can do even more! The cellular production of glutathione is tightly regulated to keep our glutathione levels optimal. The GCL enzyme is responsible for this, and this regulation is called glutathione homeostasis. But especially as we get older, the homeostatic level drops due to the slowing down of the GCL enzyme. So, although we may have a plentiful supply of all the required amino acids that make up glutathione, our cells simply don’t make enough anymore to keep us protected from free radicals and a slowing immune system. Since Glyteine® bypasses the GCL enzyme, it has the unique ability to increase glutathione above homeostasis. And it does so rapidly and safely. Best of all, unlike NAC, Glyteine® is an entirely natural product produced in every cell of your body and clinically proven to rapidly increase cellular glutathione. Glyteine® has been shown to be completely safe even if taken in extreme amounts and is your key to a healthier and stronger body. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2022-04-26T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:38:49-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Facts_about_N-acetylcysteine_NAC_2cc66a60-dde2-4c60-8d67-72c71f4a44d8.jpg?v=1749469412&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Debunking The Hype Over Quercetin | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/debunking-the-hype-over-quercetin): Why is there hardly any evidence to support the use of quercetin as a supplement?

However, there is little evidence to support the use of quercetin as a supplement. Here are some reasons why: Limited bioavailability: Quercetin has poor bioavailability, meaning that it is not easily absorbed by the body with some studies suggesting that only about 1% of what is taken orally reaches the bloodstream. This limits its effectiveness as a supplement. Inconsistent results in studies: While some studies have suggested that quercetin may have anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, the results have been inconsistent. Some studies have shown no significant effects of quercetin supplementation. Lack of standardized dosing: There is no standard dosing recommendation for quercetin, and the optimal dosage for various health conditions is not clear. This makes it difficult to compare results across studies and to know whether the supplement is being used effectively. Possible side effects: While quercetin is generally considered safe, as with all foreign compounds it can cause side effects such as headache, nausea, and tingling sensations in some people. It can also interact with certain medications, including blood thinners and antibiotics. Limited long-term safety data: There is limited information on the long-term safety of quercetin supplementation, particularly at high doses. This raises concerns about the potential for unknown side effects or interactions with other medications. Overall, the evidence for the use of quercetin as a supplement is weak, and it is not recommended as a standalone treatment for any health condition. These issues are not unique to quercetin. In fact, many plant/herbal extracts such as flavonoids and polyphenols (e.g. resveratrol) are only useful for the plants that make them, not humans. This is because these compounds often serve as plant pigments, helping to attract pollinators or protect the plant from UV radiation, insects, and other environmental stressors. While some flavonoids and polyphenols may have health benefits for humans, these benefits are often limited by poor absorption, lack of standardization, and inconsistent results. It is also worth noting that plants have a variety of flavonoids and polyphenols that work in conjunction to achieve the best outcome. Extracting just one of these, such as quercetin, is not an effective strategy for translating any perceived health benefits. Think of vitamins in humans, for example. We need a diverse range of vitamins, and we can't choose one over the other. They are all required for our health and well-being. So, if we were to derive a possible benefit from plants, we would have to use the whole plant rather than just one specific extract. Why Glyteine is a better choice Stating the obvious, plants and humans are very different. We have evolved to use plants as nourishment to provide us with nutrients, fibre and energy that are unique to us. Therefore, assuming that we can benefit from plant compounds that are not part of our physiology is fanciful. A better approach to achieving the best possible health outcomes for us is to utilize the mechanisms evolution has provided us with. In humans, glutathione is known as the Master Antioxidant, and we know with certainty that it is very effective at what it does. It is not only a potent antioxidant but a vital component of our immune system and responsible for building and repairing tissue. Despite its importance, we also know that glutathione can easily fall below optimum levels. The natural aging process, stress, exercise, and toxins can all negatively affect glutathione. Unfortunately, we cannot take glutathione as a supplement because it is not taken up by cells. The answer is a supplement that boosts our natural glutathione production inside our cells. Glyteine is the natural precursor to cellular glutathione production and, unlike glutathione itself, is readily taken up by cells, where it is immediately converted to glutathione. It is the only effective and clinically proven way to enhance glutathione, which is so vital for our health and well-being. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2023-04-04T00:00:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T08:28:17-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Debunking_the_hype_over_Quercetin.jpg?v=1746707012&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Glutathione and Its Benefits: Unlocking Antioxidant Power](https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/what-is-glutathione-and-its-benefits-unlocking-the-power-of-antioxidants): Unlock the benefits of glutathione Learn how this powerful antioxidant boosts cellular health, reduces oxidative stress, and supports immune function. Discover its role in detoxifying the liver and enhancing overall well-being. Read now to elevate your health! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: In the intricate dance of health and disease, few molecules have garnered as much attention as glutathione. Each cell in our bodies needs to produce its own supply of this powerful antioxidant. They do this by first joining the amino acids glutamate and cysteine to form the dipeptide gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC), which is then followed by the addition of glycine to produce the tripeptide, glutathione. Normal levels of glutathione (homeostasis) are maintained by a feedback inhibition mechanism that inhibits the production of GGC when cellular glutathione is at homeostatic concentrations. Role of Glutathione Glutathione stands as a sentinel against oxidative stress, protecting our bodies from a myriad of health challenges. Glutathione is a guardian of cellular integrity and plays a crucial role in cellular detoxification processes. Acting as a scavenger for free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress and damage cellular components, glutathione's capacity to neutralize these harmful substances makes it essential for maintaining overall health. Liver Health and Oxidative Stress The liver, often referred to as the body's primary detoxification organ, is particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Prolonged exposure to toxins, heavy metals, and other environmental pollutants can disrupt liver function, leading to conditions such as liver disease and cirrhosis. To facilitate detoxification, liver cells contain and maintain the highest concentrations (10 mM) of glutathione of all the body’s cell types. Maintaining and Boosting Glutathione Levels To maintain healthy glutathione levels it is essential to include in our diet, foods rich in sulphur amino acids (methionine, cystine and/or cysteine). This can be readily met by most Western diets. Chronic problems occur during aging and when we are ill, as our cells become exposed to increased streams of free radicals that result from the onset of disease related dysfunctional metabolism. When this happens, our cells are still making glutathione at normal (homeostasis) levels but these are now just not enough to keep these aging/disease related additional free radicals at bay. The only theoretical and clinically demonstrated way of boosting cellular glutathione levels is through the administration of gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC), which effectively by-passes the regulatory control mechanism of maintaining homeostasis. Other supplements like glutathione itself, and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) can only, at best, help your cells maintain homeostasis and as such cannot help in neutralizing these additional free radicals. Clinical Evidence Numerous clinical studies have been performed over the last 60 years to investigate the bioavailability of various supplements to increase cellular glutathione levels. None, except for those performed with gamma-glutamylcysteine (GGC), have shown any capacity to boost glutathione levels above homeostasis. NAC is the standard antidote for liver cells that have been acutely depleted of glutathione during the detoxification of overdoses of acetaminophen (paracetamol). NAC simply supplies the liver with the cysteine it needs to return to and maintain glutathione homeostasis, it cannot boost it above homeostasis to deal with aging and disease related additional free radicals. Glutathione supplements also cannot boost cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis. There is no active transport system for cells to take up glutathione from the plasma, and due to a negative concentration gradient (uM in plasma, mM in cells), exogenous glutathione cannot diffuse passively into our cells. Instead, exogenous glutathione is effectively hydrolysed into its three component amino acids by the enzyme gamma glutamyl transferase, which is found on all cell types except red blood cells, and as such does not provide a mechanism for bypassing the regulatory control of homeostasis. Ethical Considerations in Health Reporting By understanding biological mechanisms such as glutathione homeostasis, we can better navigate the complex world of dietary supplements to maintain our health and well-being. In an era where health information is increasingly accessible but often misinterpreted and even misrepresented, it is imperative to rely on credible sources and scientific evidence.

Bowden made the information even more relevant and compelling by relating a story printed in the “New York Post” about how one COVID-19 patient responded positively to glutathione treatment. Bowden used that story as a reason to explain what antioxidants do, which is to neutralize the damage of free radicals. “Without antioxidants to mount an attack on the free radicals that can destroy our tissues and cells, we’d pretty much be toast,” he wrote. He then explained that the most powerful antioxidant made by the body is glutathione, giving details of how glutathione has been shown to benefit heart and immune health. By now, readers were no doubt interested in how they can support healthy glutathione levels. Bowden advised, “Glutathione supplements, at least traditionally, have been extremely difficult to absorb. And while there are oral supplements that the manufacturers claim are effective, they are few and far between.” He then pointed out how difficult it has been to get more glutathione inside cells, where it’s needed. “GGC to the rescue,” he wrote. “[GGC is] a glutathione precursor that virtually guarantees glutathione will wind up in the cells. … Recently, a proprietary form of GGC — called Glyteine® — was developed, and shown in human trials to actually increase cellular glutathione.” Read the article: https://wholefoodsmagazine.com/columns/nutrition-mythbuster/antioxidants-and-master-antioxidants-why-they-matter/ - **author.name**: Gaurav Kadam - **dateModified**: 2025-05-16T05:33:00-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-08T05:34:25-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/01.jpg?v=1747739493&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Glutathione and Immunity: Understanding Its Impact](https://continualg.com/blogs/helpful-resources/the-metabolic-human-interface-unveiling-glutathiones-impact-on-immunity): Discover how glutathione's multifaceted functions, including antioxidant properties and immune cell support, impact your body's defense system. Learn more about its role in immunity today! **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Imagine the human body as a bustling metropolis, with immune cells serving as the guardians of this urban landscape. Just as cities rely on efficient infrastructure to maintain order and protect citizens, our immune system depends on intricate metabolic pathways to keep us healthy and defend against invaders. At the heart of this metabolic-human interface is glutathione, a versatile antioxidant that plays a crucial role in immunity. Multifaceted Functions of Glutathione Glutathione is more than just a chemical; it's a guardian that shields our cells from the ravages of oxidative stress, ensuring that our immune system functions optimally. This tripeptide antioxidant, composed of cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid, regulates cellular redox status by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can be both beneficial and detrimental; while they are essential for signaling pathways within cells, excessive levels can lead to cellular damage and inflammation. By neutralizing ROS, glutathione helps prevent oxidative stress that could otherwise compromise immune function. Moreover, glutathione is integral to the induction of trained immunity—a phenomenon where innate immune cells remember past threats and respond more vigorously to future infections. This phenomenon is crucial for maintaining long-term immunity against pathogens. Glutathione's influence extends beyond mere defense; it primes the metabolic landscape of immune cells for inflammation. This priming ensures that our bodies can swiftly adapt to threats, leveraging glutathione's antioxidant properties to safeguard T cells and other immune components. Metabolic-Human Interface The metabolic interface is where the body's internal environment—regulated by metabolic pathways—intersects with external factors like diet, lifestyle, and environmental toxins. Here, glutathione serves as a sentinel molecule that monitors and responds to these changes.. A diet rich in antioxidants and sulfur-containing amino acids (like cysteine) supports glutathione synthesis, while a diet high in sugar can lead to oxidative stress and subsequent depletion of glutathione. Exercise also impacts glutathione levels by inducing oxidative stress temporarily but stimulating the production of antioxidants like glutathione to counteract it. Environmental Toxins and Glutathione Environmental toxins are another critical factor influencing glutathione levels. Pollutants like heavy metals (lead, mercury) and pesticides can deplete glutathione by inducing oxidative stress or directly binding to glutathione molecules. For example, exposure to air pollution and cigarette smoke has been linked to decreased glutathione levels in lung cells, which can impair respiratory health and increase susceptibility to respiratory infections. Dietary Interventions Given the interplay between diet and glutathione levels, dietary interventions become essential for maintaining optimal immune function. Foods rich in sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine, cysteine and cystine) —like garlic and onions—can support glutathione synthesis by providing the necessary sources of cysteine. Our bodies can convert methionine and cystine (oxidized cysteine) into cysteine but that cannot (like Vitamin C -ascorbic acid) produce it from scratch, so these amino acids must be included in our diet. Nutritional Supplements While a balanced diet is crucial for maintaining adequate glutathione levels, nutritional supplements can provide additional support. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a source of cysteine, has been shown to help maintain glutathione homeostasis when taken orally. However, it is important to note that while supplements can be beneficial, they should not replace a healthy diet; rather they should be used as adjuncts to support overall well-being. But are homeostatic glutathione levels good enough? It is without doubt that our diets, via the foods we eat or the inclusion of supplements (e.g., NAC or glutathione), contain sufficient amounts of cysteine sources to allow our cells to maintain glutathione homeostasis and remain healthy. However, cellular homeostatic glutathione levels can be overwhelmed during aging and when we become ill due to the onset of new or increased streams of free radicals generated by dysfunctional metabolism. When this happens, our cells enter oxidative stress, which damages all cellular components, including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. This leads to a vicious cycle that diminishes the capacity of our cells to make glutathione and maintain homeostasis. As a consequence, the affected cells (and their associated organs) lose physiological function, which manifests as symptoms. In these cases, homeostatic levels are not good enough, and we need to find a way to boost cellular glutathione to levels that are sufficient to neutralise these additional streams of free radicals. Currently, the only scientific and clinically proven supplement to achieve this is gamma glutamylcysteine (GGC). Glutathione is synthesized in cells by two sequential reactions. The first joins glutamate and cysteine to form GGC, and the second adds a glycine to form the tripeptide, glutathione. Homeostasis is regulated by glutathione, which inhibits the enzyme that makes GGC when cells are at homeostatic (set point) levels. So, GGC is essentially bypassing this inhibition and is immediately converted to glutathione as it enters a cell, even if the cell is at homeostasis. Future of Glutathione Research As our understanding of the metabolic-human interface continues to evolve, research into glutathione's role in immunity will remain a priority. Advances in omics technologies such as genomics and proteomics are shedding light on how variations in glutathione metabolism affect disease susceptibility. For instance, genetic variations that impact glutathione synthesis or degradation pathways may influence an individual's immune response to pathogens or environmental toxins. Glutathione is more than just an antioxidant; it is a critical component of our immune system. By understanding its role at the metabolic-human interface—where diet, lifestyle, environmental toxins, and genetics converge—we can better appreciate why maintaining optimal glutathione levels is essential for overall health. Whether through dietary interventions or nutritional supplements, supporting glutathione synthesis can enhance our resilience against infections and chronic diseases. The story of glutathione is one of intricate biological pathways and multifaceted functions. As we continue to explore this molecule's impact on immunity, we are reminded of the profound interplay between our internal environments and external influences. By sustaining a healthy balance between these factors, we can harness glutathione's potential fully, thereby bolstering our defenses against the ever-evolving threats to our well-being. By delving into the world of glutathione and immunity, we uncover a tale of intricate biological pathways and multifaceted functions that underscore the importance of maintaining optimal glutathione levels for overall health and resilience. As we continue to explore this dynamic interplay, we gain valuable insights into how diet, lifestyle, environmental toxins, and genetics collectively shape our immune defenses.

For immune support, sports recovery, brain health, skin health and healthy aging. Boosts cellular glutathione rapidly. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Continued health is something that we all strive for. To be feeling our best, to perform our best, to be thinking our best. There is no doubt that in today's world, there are many ways to improve and maintain our health, ranging from diet, exercise, sleep and various supplements. Looking after your health is so important to us here at Continual-G®, with our powerful supplement increasing your cellular glutathione levels after a single dose thanks to the ingredient Glyteine®. That is why we want to list 5 ways in which our products can assist with leading to long-term health. 1. Immunity Today's stressful lifestyle is felt by most of us at various times. As a result, our body's ability to function normally is constantly challenged by toxins, high levels of stress and exposure to viruses to name a few. Oxidative stress is associated with increased exposure to damaging free radicals and/or insufficient cellular antioxidant capacity, which includes lower levels of glutathione - the body's "master antioxidant" that is produced by every cell of the body. Without sufficient glutathione, our bodies are at risk of being more vulnerable to picking up viruses and bugs. The Glyteine® in our products, when taken regularly, supports the body's cellular production of glutathione to protect us against oxidative stress and ultimately aid us in feeling our best continually. 2. Sports Recovery Exercise plays an important role in continued good health. However, the more we exercise the more oxygen we breathe in. As a result, the rate of oxygen-free radical production increases within our cells. In addition, the longer and harder we exercise, the faster our glutathione-producing mechanisms are challenged to keep up with demand. During extensive strenuous exercise, we run the risk of exceeding our cells' capacity to keep up with their need for glutathione. If this happens, our cells enter oxidative stress, which if left for too long may result in some damage that will require a period of recovery before the exercise routine can be repeated at optimal performance. Taking Continual-G® regularly will help ensure your glutathione levels and sports performance abilities are maintained. 3. Brain Health Looking after our brain health may just be one of the most important aspects of our continued good health - responsible for not only how we feel, it is key to our ability to focus, concentrate and retain information. However, did you know that as much as 25% of the oxygen we breathe is used by the brain? Yes, that's right - approximately one-quarter! And during this process, our brains produce several free radicals which can impact our brain cell types. Many of the different types of brain cell types (e.g., neurons) have only a limited capacity to produce glutathione. If their glutathione reserves become overwhelmed by excess free radicals it could have a detrimental impact on brain function at all life stages. By taking Continual-G®, your cellular glutathione levels will increase after a single dose, to help maintain your brain function and health. 4. Healthy Aging Did you know that cellular glutathione levels start declining from our late 20s, raising the potential for more frequent exposure to high levels of oxidative stress? Repetitive exposure to oxidative stress may impact our cells' ability to maintain normal health. As a result, our cells, tissues and organs may progressively develop a more diminished ability to function at an optimal level. There is no doubt that healthy living (and being of good health) can offer endless potential benefits, such as the ability to travel, exercise, play sports and engage in social activities, to name a few. And a healthy lifestyle can help you maintain a healthy immune system, which is also crucial for continued health. Help yourself in the battle against oxidative stress by taking Continual-G® every day. 5. Skin Health Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and is another component of our overall health. When our skin cells become glutathione depleted (e.g., when exposed to too much UV), they can be exposed to damaging oxidative stress and associated inflammation. By taking Continual-G®, with Glyteine® inside, you are helping your skin to fight oxidative stress so it can look brighter and healthier. Are you ready for continued good health?

Moderate workout can actually make you better. But intense workouts can deplete your enery levels due to oxidative stress. Learn why **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Applaud yourself if you routinely get your workouts in early each day. National fitness expert and published author Brent Bishop says that habit is a great way to set yourself up for success! But should you skip working out if you feel sick? During this “Virginia This Morning” interview on CBS-TV affiliate WTVR, Bishop revealed the answer to this common question. “Moderate exercise can help boost your immune system and may actually make you feel a little better,” he advised. But he cautioned that workouts that are too intense may have the opposite effect because they’ll temporarily suppress your immune system. “Here’s the rule of thumb: If the symptoms are above the neck (such as runny eyes, runny nose) but no fever, then you’re probably going to benefit from some moderate exercise,” he continued. “But if the symptoms are below the neck (sore throat, body aches, fever), you’d better take some days off.” To support a healthy immune system, Bishop recommended plenty of hydration. “Remember 16:8:1. That’s 16 ounces of water prior to your workout, 8 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes, then 1 liter for every kilogram of body weight lost.” Then he revealed his secret for supporting immune health. He explained that the body naturally produces the powerful Master Antioxidant glutathione, but that our glutathione production declines with age. “There’s a product called Continual-G®. It’s the only product that contains Glyteine®, which has been clinically validated to increase your production of glutathione naturally. Healthy levels of glutathione are going to help you stay healthy ... help you recover faster – even post-exercise muscle recovery.” Keep watching his interview to learn which other immune-supporting foods and nutrients he suggests taking during cold and cough season, and to hear why alternating your workout intensity throughout the week may help you experience fewer sick days - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2021-11-17T00:00:00-06:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:38:58-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Should_you_work_out_if_you_re_feeling_sick_48d9d972-0501-4c80-83ad-e5d19767c85a.jpg?v=1749469530&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Our Story: How 20 Years Of R&D Resulted In Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/our-story-how-20-years-of-r-and-d-resulted-in-continual-g): The Continual-G® story.

You may be wondering 'how did Continual-G® come about' or 'what is the back story here'? In this blog post, we share with you the history of Continual-G® and the numerous health benefits it can offer you today! The History Before we delve into the past, we thought it would be useful to remind you of what Continual-G® is and what it offers. Continual-G®, with Glyteine inside, is the only credible product on the market capable of increasing your cellular glutathione levels - the master antioxidant - after a single dose. With this in mind, Continual-G® origins stem back to the late 1990s, when more than 20 years ago, glutathione was, at the time, a somewhat under-the-radar product in the burgeoning nutritional field of antioxidants. During this time, Dr Wallace Bridge of the renowned University of New South Wales in Australia was conducting research on baker's yeast (a rich source of glutathione) and saw what nobody else had seen, which would lead to the most important nutritional breakthrough in the last 100 years. That was, the identification and ultimately the confirmation that the natural precursor gamma-glutamylcysteine (later branded as Glyteine) had the unique capacity to be taken up by cells and increase their glutathione content above homeostasis. To make the power of Glyteine available to the world, Dr Bridge and his team set about inventing a process to make it. Continual-G® Today Fast forward to today, and Continual-G® is a one-of-a-kind supplement that enables you to think faster, fight stronger and recover earlier thanks to the world's ONLY effective glutathione supplement. As we age, it's not unusual for us to get tired, to recover slower from injury and illness, or for our minds to feel a little fuzzier and more unclear than they did when we were younger. The boost in your cellular glutathione levels provided by, Continual-G® with Glyteine inside, helps us fight free radicals that can cause some of the challenges that come with age or ill health. No other supplement on the market has the ability to do what Continual-G® does. This is because Glyteine is the immediate precursor to glutathione and is the only theoretical and clinically proven antioxidant capable of boosting your cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis. And above homeostasis is often what is needed to relieve oxidative stress that comes from being ill or just aging. So, now that you have a clear snapshot of the history behind Continual-G®, shop here.

Role of Glyteine in Continual-G **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Glyteine is the propietary form of the naturally occurring peptide gamma-glutamylcysteine, which is our body’s own precursor to glutathione synthesis. It plays an important role in maintaining and elevating cellular glutathione levels. Glyteine is often the limiting factor in cellular glutathione synthesis, as it is less abundant than the other three amino acids that make up glutathione: Glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Taking supplements to increase these amino acids, such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), in the hope that they will increase glutathione production is, therefore, of very little use. Glutathione is also available as a dietary supplement; however, it cannot penetrate cell membranes and enter cells where it is needed. Taking glutathione orally might increase blood plasma glutathione, but it is only inside the cells where glutathione can perform all of its unique functions. Outside the cell, glutathione rapidly breaks down into its constituent three amino acids. The Glyteine present in the Continual-G® range of products was specifically developed to overcome these limitations of current supplements claiming to increase glutathione. Glyteine, taken orally, is rapidly transported into cells and provides a readily available source of gamma-glutamylcysteine, effectively boosting the body’s natural glutathione synthesis. Clinical studies have shown that supplementation with Glyteine can lead to increased cellular glutathione levels in the body within hours of the first dose. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2025-05-17T01:11:51-05:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-17T01:11:51-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/Importance_of_Glyteine_in_maintaining_and_elevating_cellular_Glutathione_levels_f10468ec-9cee-4604-b752-c556be56f163.jpg?v=1747462312&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Polyphenols, Flavanols & Other Extracts – Insufficient Evidence For Their Use | Continual-G](https://continualg.com/blogs/news/polyphenols-flavanols-and-other-extracts-insufficient-evidence-for-their-use): Breaking the glutathione myth about Polyphenols, Flavanols & Other Extracts. Explore why polyphenols do not live up to their hype of antioxidant activity. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Amongst the tide of advice on healthy living, a group of antioxidants containing polyphenols and flavanols often rate a mention. Indeed, these antioxidants are claimed to help with cardiovascular diseases, cancer, brain health, inflammation and even blood clotting. But do they live up to the hype? Polyphenols and flavanols are compounds that have shot to fame because they are contained in many foods we associate with health - the so-called “superfoods”. And we are all very familiar with them as it is hard to miss the constant stream of articles pushing their benefits. In fact, this advice has become so ingrained in our quest for a longer and healthier life that we have, perhaps conveniently, ignored the science around their origin, use and benefits. So, what are these foods? It’s a long list, but let’s concentrate on the main groups we all know: Berries Cherries Dark Chocolate Tea Turmeric Vegetables Red wine Seeds, chilli peppers and whole grains In actual fact, more than 8000 polyphenols have been identified, which contain sub-groups such as flavanols, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, polyphenolic amides and many more. Different foods contain different compounds and in varying amounts. These compounds are often referenced to, and therefore associated with the color, spiciness, or bitterness of the food. This has propelled them into the status of superfoods for humans since their antioxidant activity must be good for us. After all, who doesn’t want to eliminate free radicals and oxidative stress that may cause disease? Conveniently, many of these polyphenols have now been extracted and integrated into a vast variety of supplements, a once-a-day pill for better health. But the science on the benefits of polyphenols is very weak. Remember resveratrol? The famed compound in red wine and the skin of grapes that suddenly made drinking red wine healthy? Well, it was a good marketing exercise, but a study from the John Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, has failed to confirm resveratrol’s life-extending benefits. The study concluded that resveratrol “does not substantially influence health status and mortality risk”. Another study titled “Resveratrol: A Double-Edged Sword in Health Benefits” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6164842/ highlighted the fact that resveratrol may even be pro-oxidant in certain circumstances, totally negating any health benefits. This was confirmed by another study in Free Radical Biology & Medicine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14744632/ that observed toxicity of some flavonoids. To understand this, we need to look at: The purpose of polyphenols; and Polyphenols in the human body It is tempting to think that the dark red juice of berries and wine, for instance, must be good for us. Likewise, the yellow stain of turmeric or the tartness of tea surely has health benefits. But these assumptions are flawed for two reasons: Firstly, humans tend to associate a strong attribute such as bitterness, dark color or even the intense heat of chillies with health benefits despite any evidence. Most people will choose a berry over cauliflower when it comes to healthy eating, simply based on the product's color. But change the cauliflower to broccoli, and the choice is not that clear because we have introduced another strong color, dark green. Secondly, and more importantly, the polyphenols in plants were created by the plant for the plant. Evolution did not sit down one day and decided to make them for our benefit. In nature, polyphenols aid in the defense against aggressors such as UV radiation, insects, fungi or other diseases. Likewise, giving them an attractive color makes them look appetizing, not for us but rather for the animals that help disperse their seeds. This is a big fallacy in human thinking that makes us susceptible to believe something for which there is very little evidence. We may be the pinnacle of evolution, although this can be argued, but we are not at the center of it. So, to think that all these things are made for our benefit is nothing but false hope. Science has confirmed this many times because research does not support a strong link between polyphenols and increased health. Of course, it is easy to find some link under laboratory conditions because subjects and dosage can be infinitely controlled until some benefit is found. But our life is far from a petri dish. Studies have irrefutably shown that: The absorption of polyphenols in the human body is poor because they are metabolized in the digestion process, and their availability is therefore extremely limited Even if they survive digestion, there is no clear path for them to enter cells which is necessary to aid in alleviating oxidative stress The mechanisms behind how polyphenols may affect oxidative stress in humans are poorly understood; and there is no guidance on what are safe, or indeed, effective levels of polyphenol consumption The recent explosion of “superfoods in a pill” is therefore worrying because any observed benefit may actually result from the consumption of the whole item rather than the polyphenols within. Consuming fruit and vegetables as a whole has many other aspects to it, such as fibre, vitamins and minerals, all of which may have a synergistic effect that cannot be realized by isolating a group of compounds. Eating these foods whole also has the added benefit of contributing to our fullness, preventing us from eating more than we should. A pill negates all these benefits and may even introduce pro-oxidative effects due to excessive dosages. So, where does this leave us? For one, no one disputes the fact that polyphenols may have some role to play in our health. But it may also be the synergistic effect of the whole item that ultimately makes a difference. However, there are many aspects to human health, and we should not look at polyphenols as a panacea for good health and longevity. Instead, we should focus on the two aspects that matter to us: The mechanisms evolution has provided for humans to counter oxidative stress; and The scientific research supporting those mechanisms Just like plants use polyphenols to protect themselves from the ravages of their environment, we also have evolved effective systems to deal with external as well as internal threats. The longevity of humans and many other animal species certainly points to the inescapable conclusion that these mechanisms are indeed very effective. So, let’s briefly focus on the two main defence systems: The immune system; and The antioxidant or free radical scavenging system Our immune system needs no introduction or explanation. We know it is an incredibly complex yet effective means to protect us from external scourges such as bacteria and viruses or internal threats such as cancer cells. The antioxidant system is equally efficient in dealing with the oxidative stress caused by normal processes such as breathing or external aggressors such as toxins. More importantly, both are supported by the human equivalent of polyphenols: Glutathione. This incredibly important molecule, which evolution provided all oxygen using species with, has decades of scientific research supporting its role as our body’s “Master Antioxidant”. Unlike polyphenols, we understand the intricate mechanisms that underpin the critical importance of glutathione. Similarly, science has concluded that: Glutathione production suffers with age, many chronic illnesses, strenuous exercise, or exposure to toxins; and, as a consequence Supplementing cellular glutathione has immeasurable benefits to our health Unfortunately, however, successful glutathione supplementation has eluded science for a very long time. Despite the many products one may find that claim to do so, no research inconclusively backs their effectiveness in raising glutathione inside our cells where it is needed to do its work. This includes the much-hyped stalwarts of glutathione supplementation such as NAC or, indeed, glutathione itself. You can read why they are just hype at glutathione myth. The Glyteine® in Continual-G®, on the other hand, has been proven to raise glutathione inside our cells. It does so quickly and effectively, even after a single dose. And the science behind its efficacy is irrefutable https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5284489/ So, it becomes clear where our priorities should lie when it comes to supporting our health.

Know how you can begin your journey to good health, along with adding Continual-G® to your daily habits. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: How to set your morning up for success? Do you want to feel your best every day? Living life to the fullest with a sense of purpose and direction? Feeling your best starts with setting up your morning routine so that you're ready to conquer each day. We cannot stress how important your morning routine is for your day-to-day life PLUS your overall health and wellbeing. This is why we have the checklist below so that you can be in the best position to kick start each day: Wake up at the same time every dayWaking up at the same time every day is so crucial to ensuring your circadian rhythm (your body system that regulates your sleep cycle) is maintained. By doing so, your body will be in an optimised sleep pattern, and you will wake each morning feeling refreshed and ready to jump out of bed.If you mess too much around with your sleep pattern, your body can become confused – leaving you feeling sluggish and tired in the morning.We also recommend aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep per night (depending on your lifestyle and body needs). Allow natural light into your roomNatural light helps with regulating your circadian rhythm as it assists in signalling to your body that it's time to wake up. As a result, this increases your mood as your body wakes naturally without being forced. Drink a glass of waterYour body naturally becomes dehydrated overnight when you're sleeping. So, starting your morning with a glass of water is essential to ensure your body becomes hydrated again and its fluids are replenished. Drinking water will also help with your metabolism and kick-start your digestion. Eat breakfastEating a healthy breakfast made up of complex carbs, fibre and protein will also help kick start your metabolism and keep you going for the day.Did you know that eating a decent breakfast every morning will help lower your risk of diabetes and improve cognitive function? All the more reason to add this into your morning routine. ExerciseExercising in the morning will increase your energy, boost your metabolism, improve your mood, assist with quality sleep, offer you a sense of achievement and finally a positive mindset for the day. If these don't motivate you to move your body every morning then we don't know what will! MeditateYou're probably thinking, “who even has the time for this?”. We get it, finding time to meditate every morning might not be up there on your list of things to do. But with this practice promoting self-awareness, better sleep and overall well-being and decreasing anxiety, we cannot stress the importance of meditation in the morning! Set the tone and your mindset for the day within just a few minutes to yourself. Make a to-do listMaking a to-do list each morning (or even the night before) will help you set your priorities for the day. By doing so, you can start each day with a clearer mind and a plan in place, with tasks that are meaningful and attainable for you. Breathing exercisesLike mediation, take a few minutes (or moments) to practice deep belly breathing each morning to help you remain calm and energised for the day ahead. This will help ease any stress or tension you may be feeling and keep you grounded. Enjoy a cup of teaDid you know that tea (particularly green tea) will offer more sustained energy (without the crash) than coffee? Enjoy a cup of tea in the morning and remain alert throughout the day. Take this moment to also pause and be present. Take Continual-GFinish off your successful morning preparation with a dose of Continual-G.

Explore the multiple health benefits of glutathione. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: What is Glutathione? You may have heard or come across the term glutathione in the health space but are thinking to yourself “what does this word mean?”. We get it, it’s a word that can feel a bit confusing at first! But we are taking a good guess that if you’ve come across ‘glutathione’ in your research you’re looking for ways to improve your health and wellbeing. And that is our main goal; to help you live stronger, fight faster, and recover quickly... This is why we’re here to give you a breakdown of what glutathione is, why it is so crucial for your health and how Continual-G® is the answer for this. Firstly, what is Glutathione? In a scientific sense, glutathione is a tripeptide (small protein) composed of three amino acids (protein building blocks) glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Liver cells produce the most amount of glutathione which they use to eliminate toxins from the bloodstream. These toxins come from our diet, normal metabolism, and the air we breathe. Using everyday language, glutathione is known as the master antioxidant, with every cell in our bodies making its own supply. It is responsible for powering other antioxidants to relieve oxidative stress (which is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body). When you think about it, many activities that are a part of living an active lifestyle will increase the production of free radicals (for example, exposure to toxins, pollutants, chemicals, etc.). As a result, our natural production of glutathione can be overwhelmed. Maintaining healthy glutathione levels to neutralise these free radicals is central to continued optimal health. To put it another way, picture glutathione as your body’s armour, ready to go to war and face whatever may come its way. It is your body’s first line of defence against free radicals and helps support general wellbeing Why is glutathione crucial for your health? Now that we have established what glutathione is, it’s time for us to let you in on all the wonderful health benefits of maintaining adequate levels of this master antioxidant. Glutathione is crucial for optimum health because it assists with immunity, brain health, skin appearance and sports and injury recovery – just to get us started! Essentially, when we stress our bodies through extreme exercise, exposure to toxins, or from overindulgence in just about anything then we can quickly use up our glutathione reserves. As a result, this may expose our cells to the risk and perils of oxidative stress (the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body) Produced in the liver at the highest levels, glutathione is also involved in tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and in maintaining a healthy active immune system. Finally, it acts as a recycler for other key antioxidants such as vitamins C & E. All in all, it’s powerful for our health, right? To really bring it home, our continuing good health can be challenged if: Our cells become depleted of glutathione through excessive exercise and exposure to high levels of toxins We permanently lose the capability to make enough glutathione to deal with normal levels of free radicals in some of our cells, tissues, and organs The number of free radicals produced by our cells becomes consistently higher than normal and overwhelms our glutathione production capacity Finally, we thought it would be useful to list just some of the MANY ways that glutathione can assist with your health, including: Healthy ageing Skin health Brain health Lung health Organ health High-intensity training Sports recovery Immunity In summary, you could say that glutathione is so crucial for your health and wellbeing as it acts as your shield, your first line of defence, and your ability to maintain good health. How can Continual-G® help with glutathione production for optimal health? Now knowing what glutathione is and why it is so crucial for your health, the final piece of the puzzle is how does Continual-G® play into this? Here at Continual-G, we step in with the power of Glyteine, the ONLY way to achieve immediate increases in cellular production of glutathione. The Glyteine in our products, when taken regularly, supports the body’s production of glutathione to help fight against oxidative stress-related risk to your continued good health. The important thing to remember is that Glyteine is NOT glutathione (we know it can be confusing with the two ‘g’s). However, your body cannot make glutathione without Glyteine, and this is where the magic happens with our Continual-G® supplements. Your body needs Glyteine to make glutathione. Continual-G® elevates the body’s natural glutathione levels inside the cells. We have the only supplement on the market capable of entering your cells and increasing your glutathione levels after only a single dose. Don’t waste your time and money on other supplements like glutathione itself and NAC, they cannot do this! Want to get your hands on Continual-G?

Learn how to get the most out of your everyday workouts with Continual-G. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Are you regularly working out but not seeing any gains? You’re tired all the time, your body feels run down, you know you can do better? Or to put it a different way, you are putting in all the effort but all you are getting for it, is sweat! Perhaps the problem is that you may not be refuelling your body properly before and after your workouts. In this blog post we will provide you with the checklist you need to follow to ensure optimum recovery and replenishment from exercising. The Importance of Refuelling Before and After a Workout We all know that exercising and moving our bodies daily in some form or another is an important part of living a healthy and active life. However, when we stress our bodies through extreme exercise, we quickly use up our glutathione reserves. We have a full blog post here on glutathione but in a nutshell, it is known as the master antioxidant and it is essential that we have enough of it to fight off oxidative stress. If our stores of glutathione run low it can cause all sorts of health problems, including our capacity to benefit from and recover from exercise. Equipping your body with the necessary nutritional support pre and post workout is key to ensuring that you not only get the most out of each session but also maintain your overall wellbeing. The way we see it ... you haven’t fully completed your workout until you’ve refuelled. Your Refuelling Checklist With this in mind, we have put together a checklist with 3 essential steps for you to consider when working out. It is our hope that these will assist you in getting the most out of your workouts by increasing your cellular glutathione levels at the same time with our incredible Continual-G® supplements 1. Take Continual-G® Before your Workout With Glyteine inside, Continual-G® is the only product on the market capable of increasing your cellular glutathione levels. Backed by 20 years of extensive research and development and real peer-reviewed science, our supplement is the ONLY nutrient-based product that boosts these levels after a single dose. So, you can rest assured you’re going to get the protection from oxidative stress relief you need during your workouts. For best results, we recommend taking our supplement before your workout. Available as either sachets or capsules, you can easily take Continual-G® on the go or wherever you may be prior to your workout session. Ready to push your workout limits? Click here to buy now. 2. Eat a Healthy Meal Post Workout Following a healthy diet is essential for not only feeling your best everyday but assisting with replacing vital nutrients post workout. Did you know that your muscles are most prime for absorbing nutrients up to a few hours post working out? If you have timed your workouts post breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you may only require a healthy snack post exercise session to continue replacing those key nutrients. It’s important to note that what you can consider a ‘healthy diet’ may differ to the next person however what remains crucial is that it suits your needs and assists with supporting your overall health and wellbeing. 3. Stretching (and Resting) Post Workout Making the time to stretch and/or foam roll post workout is another important element to help with muscle recovery. This is because it helps improve your range of motion and flexibility which both help to reduce the risk of muscle injury and support longevity with long term performance. In addition to stretching, it’s important to also ensure you’re finding moments to rest your body throughout the week. By resting you’re giving your body the time to recover. We like to say it’s all about balance every day! So, now that we covered off the importance of refuelling for your workouts and the checklist you need to ensure optimal recovery and replenishment, shop Continual-G® here.

Helps with cellular energy production, acts as a master antioxidant, and boosts immunity. **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Glutathione plays many critical roles in maintaining cellular health. It is produced naturally in every cell of the body and is found in exceptionally high concentrations in vital organs such as the liver. Here are the key reasons why glutathione is essential: DetoxificationGlutathione plays a vital role in the body's detoxification process by helping to remove not only harmful environmental toxins like heavy metals, but also the by-products of normal cellular processes that can be harmful if allowed to accumulate. Antioxidant defenseGlutathione acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This is particularly important for cells exposed to high levels of oxidative stress, such as those in the liver and lungs. Additionally, glutathione assists in recycling other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, further contributing to cellular health. Immune functionGlutathione provides an essential boost to the immune system by supporting the function of white blood cells, which play a critical role in fighting infections and disease. Protein synthesisGlutathione is required for the synthesis of proteins in the body. Without it, the body could not produce certain enzymes and other proteins necessary for proper cellular function. Cell proliferation and repairGlutathione plays a role in cell division, which is necessary for tissue repair and regeneration. It also helps to protect cells from damage caused by inflammation and other stressors. Cellular energy productionGlutathione is an important antioxidant vital for mitochondrial energy production since it neutralizes harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during aerobic respiration. This protective function ensures mitochondria are shielded from oxidative damage, which can reduce their efficiency and lead to decreased energy production. Additionally, glutathione is involved in regulating metabolic processes such as fatty acid oxidation and glucose metabolism, both of which are essential for the efficient production of ATP - the energy currency of the body. A deficiency or reduction in healthy glutathione levels can have many reasons: Aging, chronic illness or stress, to mention a few. The increased oxidative stress associated with low glutathione has been linked to various health problems. It is, therefore, essential to maintain adequate levels to ensure cellular health and overall well-being. - **author.name**: Shopify API - **dateModified**: 2023-03-08T00:00:00-06:00 - **datePublished**: 2025-05-07T07:35:43-05:00 - **image**: https://continualg.com/cdn/shop/articles/The_importance_of_Glutathione_in_maintaining_cellular_health.jpg?v=1746709963&width=1920 - **publisher.name**: Continual-G ---- - [Highly credentialed physician discusses glutathione and performance pl](https://continualg.com/blogs/news-events/highly-credentialed-physician-discusses-glutathione-and-performance-plateaus): Endurance athletes score among the top one percent of producing glutathione, including former professional Olympic athlete Greg Bennett, now host of the Greg Bennett Show. "[Learning this] fascinated me because I was taking a product called Glyteine® and I wasn't sure if I needed to be taking it," he told his guest Ara **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: Endurance athletes score among the top one percent of producing glutathione, including former professional Olympic athlete Greg Bennett, now host of the Greg Bennett Show. "[Learning this] fascinated me because I was taking a product called Glyteine® and I wasn't sure if I needed to be taking it," he told his guest Ara Suppiah, MD. This didn’t shock Suppiah, who believes there’s a time and place for taking antioxidants. As a certified ER physician, trained cardiac surgeon, sports medicine physician, functional medicine practitioner and Chinese medicine physician, Suppiah explained that natural, gifted high-performance endurance athletes tend to have higher glutathione levels. "Their antioxidant capacity is higher. Their mitochondria are better. … they’ve inherited really good genes from their moms." While supplementation to increase glutathione may or may not be necessary for an elite athlete because they have a higher redox potential, Suppiah did have one caveat: "If you increase your [exercise] volume significantly for a certain period of time and you start to see your numbers plateau and are not seeing the improvement, at that point, supplementing to increase cellular glutathione production is a great idea." Glyteine®, available in Continual-G® products, has been shown to quickly increase cellular glutathione levels above homeostasis. Suppiah explained the easiest, noninvasive ways to measure your own redox potential. "Put it all together," he advised. "If your numbers have stabilized. If your resting heart rate is starting to creep up.

How to pick the right supplement for your body? Read more **Article Details:** - **articleBody**: How to choose the right supplement? Choosing the right supplement for you can be daunting. You may have questions such as "where to start" or "what to look for"? We get it, navigating this ever- increasing and ever-changing industry can be overwhelming at the best of times. Luckily for you, we have done the work for you, so you can spend more of your precious time feeling your best, thinking faster, fighting stronger and recovering earlier. So where to start? To choose the right supplement for you, you firstly need to know your body, your lifestyle, and your daily needs. The below factors are always a good place to kick things off: Age – for example, your risk of Vitamin D deficiency increases as you age Medications – are you currently taking any prescription medications? Could they inhibit the absorption of certain vitamins? Food Allergies – some people with allergies have a limited diet so they can't get all the nutrients they need from food Type of Diet – for example, it can be hard to get enough Vitamin B12 from a vegan diet Pregnancy – pregnant women will require particular supplements including folic acid Lifestyle – are you an active person? Do you like to work out and eat a balanced diet? Level of Exposure to Toxins and Pollutants – are you regularly in cities and/or on public transport? Does your work involve being around high levels of toxins? Health Concerns – do you find that you're regularly becoming sick or run down? Think about how each of the above points relates to your current circumstances and equip yourself with your relevant personal knowledge so you know what your body requires. In addition, be sure to keep the points below in mind: Read the supplement ingredients thoroughly Check and consider the dosage of the supplement Check where the supplement is made Consider your goals and what you want to achieve Consider your unique situation How does Continual-G® stand out from the rest? So, you've got your checklist for how to choose the right supplement, now what? You turn to Continual-G! Backed by real peer-reviewed published science, it is the only credible option when it comes to increasing cellular glutathione levels (see our previous blog post here) for all things about glutathione you can rest easy knowing we have done the legwork for you. We stand out by being the only supplement brand that contains Glyteine, and it has taken us over 20 years of intensive and dedicated research and development to make it available for you. Continual-G® is a unique dietary supplement brand, the ONLY nutrient-based products that can and do boost cellular glutathione levels following a single dose. When you think about the extensive benefits of Glyteine (again see our previous blog post), we know that this antioxidant enhances immune support, faster recovery from extensive exercise, brain health and overall healthy living. Looking back on your checklist, we're sure these benefits will come into this. We need to keep in mind that every living organism from bacteria through to us that uses oxygen is dependent on Glyteine and glutathione. Breaking this down further, the Glyteine in Continual-G® stands out from all other antioxidants for the following science-based reasons: The Science Naturally produced inside our body's cells, glutathione is the master antioxidant responsible for powering other antioxidants, to relieve oxidative stress. As our natural production of glutathione declines, and it becomes more difficult to fend off illness and recover, Continual-G® steps in with Glyteine – the only way to achieving immediate increased cellular glutathione. Again, it's important to note there is no scientific basis for glutathione-only supplements to be able to increase glutathione levels. In fact, in human clinical studies, only Glyteine has been shown to do so after a single oral dose. We love when science speaks the truth! The Antioxidant We believe in products that work, and so do the esteemed Australian scientists we partner with. Continual-G® has many proven published studies to show that it is the only supplement on the market capable of entering cells and boosting the body's natural production of glutathione. Natural, safe, and effective. The Benefit There's nothing worse than not being able to live or feel our best. Continual-G® elevates the body's natural glutathione levels inside our cells. This can help immunity, support brain health and skin appearance, and assist with sports and injury recovery – so you can get the most out of life, every single day! The Reason Life is short, and we want you to enjoy it. When you feel better, you look better, and you live better. Our extensive research has proven that Continual-G® will increase cellular glutathione levels to relieve oxidative stress and help our bodies and minds. Once we knew that, we had to share it! Yes, choosing the right supplement can be a daunting task. But with your checklist for what your body needs and Continual-G® being backed by science, it is our hope that you can now see how we stand out from the rest and the numerous health benefits it can offer you. We also believe that knowledge is power when it comes to your health, so having the relevant information you need for your body as well as the science behind Continual-G® will equip you to make informed choices and help you feel your best. Live your life with the confidence that you're giving your body all that it needs to live well every day, knowing you're taking a high-quality product that has real credible science behind it.
