Here’s What to Take and Why
Glutathione
Why should I take it?
Glutathione is a master antioxidant that our bodies produce for cellular immune function. When we have a sufficient amount of glutathione in our bodies we can properly fight off viral infections, reduce viral replication and decrease the transmission of the virus from one cell to another* (Cai J, et al. Free Radic biol Med. 2003 Apr ; 34(7):928-36.)
EVN Recommends:
-
Trizomal Glutathione
A liposomal formula that includes 3 ways to increase glutathione levels in the body. It also includes N-acetylcysteine (NAC) which increases immunity to influenza-like symptoms* (De Flora S, et al. Eur Respir J. 1997 Jul;10(7):1535-41). It has a tart pineapple flavor and is family friendly.

- Black elderberry extract which has been shown to support healthy cytokine production, the cellular pathways used to eliminate foreign invaders such as viruses. (Isr Med Assoc J 2002;4(11 Suppl):919-22.)
- Astragalus membranaceus is native to northern China and has been traditionally used to strengthen the immune system. (Curr Med Chem 2004;11(11):1423-1430.)
- Echinacea purpurea Extract is a perennial herb that has been used for centuries in Native American medicine. Current research has supported echinacea’s clinical applications as this botanical has been the subject of more than 300 scientific studies. Echinacea activates multiple aspects of immune function. (Biochem Pharmacol 2000;60:155-158.)
- Andrographis paniculate is a plant that has been used in Asian medicine for centuries and has been reported to provide strong antioxidant support due to its ability to activate highly protective antioxidant reactions. (Mol Biol Rep 2008; 35:535-540.)
