Tobias Dick, researcher at the German Cancer Research Center, found that cells can produce their own anti-oxidants - glutathione - which fight off oxidants.
According to Hagen, research on the natural processes of aging, and steps that could slow it or improve health until near the end of life, are of growing importance.
Low glutathione levels, according to anti-aging research from the New England Journal of Medicine, can increase the risk of a heart attack. Dr. Eric Topol (MD), from the New England Journal of Medicine, reported this discovery in USA Today in October 2003. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry probably didn't see any opportunities to rake in lots of money by selling this natural antioxidant, so these studies haven't become breaking news. But taking this antioxidant is a great idea if you wish to reverse disease and reverse aging for a rejuvenated and long life (many anti-aging doctors agree).

According to scientific studies, Glutathione is considered as to be the most powerful of the body's self-generated antioxidants. It acts as the strongest anti-cancer agent in our system. Glutathione is found in almost all living cells. The liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, and the lens and cornea, have the highest concentrations in the body. The liver is the reservoir of Glutathione. It is therefore important to protect our liver for it to continuously do its job of detoxification and glutathione production.
Scientific research has shown that individuals who have low levels of Glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Levels of Glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and environmental toxins. A lowered immune system significantly increases the risk of chronic illness and disease. This is a vicious cycle. While
