She told us she had experienced debilitating headaches every day for the past 2.5 years, after a fall onto cement and two operations to repair the damage. But after two days of swishing with this bio-essential product, her headaches were gone!!
Such is the power of this new improved hydra stat product called Nutriswish. And it’s not just for headaches. This contains one of the most diverse and essential nutrients in the human body - glutathione. This has been the subject of more than 1,000 studies, because like oxygen glutathione is essential to the function of every cell in the human body, as a free radical scavenger to boost our immune system, protect against oxidative stress, and reduce the resulting inflammation to promote healthy cellular healing and function.
Not only does glutathione facilitate healing from traumatic brain injuries, it promotes brain and body health in at least 7 different ways.
- By reducing oxidative stress in the body and brain. Oxidative stress has been found to be an early event and major contributor to age related cognitive decline.[1] Glutathione (GSH) is the premier suppressor of oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species, or what we call free radicals, and resulting inflammation in the body and the brain.
- By reducing damage to vital proteins in the brain due to high blood sugar levels. One of the best documented contributors to cognitive decline is insulin resistance (diabetes), resulting from high blood sugar levels, which can damage proteins and impair signaling critical to brain health and function. Oxidative stress contributes to insulin resistance, and as noted above GSH suppresses that, as well as exerting a more direct effect on insulin resistance.
- By facilitating detoxification in the body and brain. Unfortunately there are a growing number of environmental toxins, like mercury, aluminum, lead, molds, Lyme disease, insecticides, industrial toxins, and more than 200 medications that can adversely affect our nervous system and brain, either directly or indirectly. Glutathione is the master detoxifier in our body, reducing the effects of these toxins on our brain and DNA, and extinguishing the associated inflammation (also known to impair brain function), and ushering the exit of these toxins from our body.
- By protecting the production of energy required by our brain. The brain is a super high energy consumer. It requires more energy than any other organ in the body, except the heart. And when it can’t get the energy it needs it slows down and becomes less functional. For optimal energy and focus our bodies and brains require an abundance of mitochondria and a wealth of glutathione to protect them from the free radicals they produce in that process. Free radicals necessitate the anti-oxidative effects of glutathione to prevent mitochondrial damage and mutations to its DNA.[2]
- By improving blood flow to the brain. Both macro and micro vascular Blood flow is critical to brain health. If that flow is impaired the brain will not be able to acquire the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function optimally. GSH has been shown to help protect arteries from damage, inflammation and plaque formation, but it also increases hemoglobin affinity for oxygen,[3] and it can help to relax blood vessels, allowing for greater blood flow. It’s no wonder that in a 2002 study from the Mayo Clinic, they found that patients with peripheral artery disease showed significant improvements in both macro and micro-circulation following intravenous glutathione twice per day, and their pain-free walking distance improved.[4] Also great for the brain!
- By reducing the effects of stress and injuries to the brain. Prolonged stress increases cortisol in the brain which, over time can damage cells in the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), of course, can also damage brain cells. Moreover, a study at Oregon State University found that when levels of glutathione become depleted, in older animals, they died twice as fast when subjected to stress. However, when pretreated with GSH their cells did not die near as quickly.[5] Other anecdotal reports from individuals who have suffered concussions and TBI’s suggests glutathione may indeed accelerate recovery from such injuries.
- By improving sleep and reducing the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain. Sleep is critical for brain health. And sleep deprivation decreases GSH levels and can impair learning and memory. However, higher glutathione has been shown to help facilitate sleep as well. In one study, it was found that those who had increased levels of glutathione were able to fall asleep easier at night and wake up more refreshed in the morning. Moreover, it was found that the body is able to naturally produce more glutathione when the quality and duration of sleep were increased.[6]
If you have an AI program you can find a wide variety of neurological ailments, like Parkinson’s, Multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, and many more associated with cognitive decline, that are associated with low GSH in the body that may be helped by swishing for a few minutes daily with this new more powerful product.
Since glutathione is so important to brain health, and Nutriswish® has been shown, through a variety of evidences, to enhance the delivery of glutathione into brain cells, the American Brain Council* has elected to endorse this product. (Some of the best study results come from glutathione IV’s, however, this product and method for absorption may be significantly more effective at a fraction of the cost.)
