Evidence suggests that autism spectrum disorders are influenced by the intricate interface between genetics, immune function, toxic environmental exposures, and increased oxidative stress. Antioxidants have various purposes including reducing oxidative stress, toxicity, and free radical activity. An antioxidant is a molecule with an extra electron that stabilizes free radicals.
The body’s “master antioxidant” is glutathione. Glutathione (GSH) serves as a potent immune system activator providing cellular protection from the damage of free radicals. Glutathione is your body’s most powerful antioxidant. Glutathione (GSH) is your major defense system against illness and aging as it functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin. Increasing glutathione levels results in increased energy as your body is detoxified and your immune system is strengthened.
In recent years, various clinical and research findings have been published regarding autism and its causes. One of the most important discoveries about autism is the link between autism and antioxidants, such as glutathione. Recently, investigators in Arkansas discovered that antioxidant levels of autistic children are significantly lower when compared to the antioxidant levels of children not suffering from this disorder. Research has shown that a child with autism has 80 percent lower antioxidant levels than usual.
Without adequate glutathione levels, free radical damage can occur. Free radicals are found in various food substances, and even environmental substances such as smoke, radiation, and pollution. It is antioxidants, such as glutathione, that cleanse the body of harmful substances, so to speak.
The fact that levels of glutathione of children with autism is extremely low is concerning. On the one hand, this means that an autistic child has no way of cleansing your body the chemicals that are derived from the food you eat. Furthermore, the digestive systems of autistic children are not fully capable of digesting and breaking down the food they eat. Given the fact that an autistic child has low concentrations of glutathione the damage can be catastrophic, if proper supplementation is not addressed. It is clear that free radicals and toxicity can damage our brains thus hindering development.
GlutaSource has trained professionals with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with ASD who routinely conduct evaluations that provide practical and detailed recommendations for immediate support that include utilization of glutathione.
GlutaSource™ provides potent glutathione via effective routes of delivery (e.g., nebulization and suppository) that can reduce various symptoms of ASD caused by poor absorption, toxicity, and free radical damage. The GlutaSource™ product lineup is the result of exhaustive clinical and programmatic research, culminating in the creation of a patent pending blend of ingredients in proportionally correct amounts.
