| A combination of two of the body's premier antioxidant nutrients that are also its premier antitoxins. Reduced glutathione, a thiol antioxidant nutrient, is a major water-phase antioxidant inside the cell, while ascorbate is a major water-phase antioxidant outside the cell. The liver is the body's main detoxification organ; it reacts potentially toxic foreign chemicals such as bromobenzene, carbon tetrachloride, and acetaminophen together with water-soluble antioxidants to render them water-soluble, then excretes them mainly via the bile and the urine. Gluta-Ascorbs supports primarily phase II detoxification.* | |||||||||||||

| The liver is a complex organ with a variety of functions. It plays a major role in the detoxification of both endotoxins (metabolically produced toxins) and xenobiotics (environmental toxins). Detoxification is a process involving several different organs and occurs primarily in the liver where toxins, chemicals, cholesterol and fat-soluble toxins are filtered from the blood, using enzymes and the synthesis and secretion of bile. Allergy Research Group's® Liver Support products generally support the phase I and phase II functions of liver detoxification. In phase I, toxins are neutralized or transformed into intermediates which are then neutralized by the phase II enzymes. In phase II metabolic chemicals are enzymatically attached (conjugation) to the toxins which are then either neutralized or more easily excreted in the bile and urine. The liver's ability to detoxify potentially harmful substances is directly related to optimal health.* Description of ingredients contained in Gluta-Ascorbs (Hypoallergenic) from Allergy Research Group®: Vitamin C is the body's most important water-soluble antioxidant nutrient. It is stored in tissues throughout the body, and is especially concentrated in the adrenal glands. Humans do not manufacture Vitamin C, so we must get our daily amount from food or nutritional supplements. Vitamin C is involved in a variety of biochemical reactions, including detoxification and inflammation processes, white blood cell production, the reduction of glutathione, and the metabolism and protection of several other nutrients.* Vitamin C prevents free radical damage through its antioxidant activity. Its molecular structure allows it to donate hydrogen atoms from two hydroxyl positions to neutralize free radicals. Vitamin C is also crucial for the production of adrenal hormones involved in responding to stress. Through its effect on histamine release and degradation (anti-histamine effect), Vitamin C helps in the control of some inflammatory reactions. It is also involved in detoxifying heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and nickel. * Studies report that Vitamin C can nutritionally benefit many systems in the body, especially when taken in larger amounts. It is important in the structure and function of the immune and cardiovascular systems, in maintaining bone mineral density, and in the production of some neurotransmitters. Vitamin C is crucial for the structure of the body, since it is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis. Collagen imparts strength to connective tissue throughout the body. Elastin in the skin is also dependent on sufficient Vitamin C. And of course, Vitamin C prevents scurvy, the first known nutritional deficiency. * Glutathione is a powerful tripeptide antioxidant that inhibits the formation of free radicals, and is thought to be the most important cellular antioxidant. It is a key nutritional component in liver detoxification pathways, and has been shown to protect against damage from cigarette smoke, radiation, chemotherapy, and x-rays, through its ability to protect the mitochondria, cellular nuclear structures, lung tissue, skeletal muscle, and the lens of the eye. Glutathione spares Vitamin C and can assist in detoxification from alcohol, heavy metals, and drugs. Glutathione is also involved in the regulation of DNA repair, and it has anti-angiogenic potential that may help prevent excessive cell reproduction. * Glutathione has been shown to reduce homocysteine levels, thus possibly impacting the risk of cardiovascular disease. A Taiwanese study found that both Vitamin C and Glutathione, along with N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a precursor to glutathione, were instrumental in the prevention of oral mucosal lesions from betel quid chewing. * Allergy Research Group®, Inc. | |||||||||||||

*Hypoallergenic Defined: According to Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary "hypoallergenic" is defined as: "Diminished potential for causing an allergic reaction." Allergy Research Group® defines hypoallergenic as "Free of all common allergens", specifically, wheat, corn, soy, gluten, yeast, dairy, and eggs. Many very sensitive individuals who reach to supplements in general, are able to tolerate Allergy Research Group® product. Since our inception in 1979, we have been using only the purest, and whenever possible, the lowest allergy potential natural ingredients. And while many of the nutrients in our formulas are synthesized from natural substances (plant sources), which as a whole may contain antigens, the synthesizing process removes the molecules of the desired nutrient from the original substance, and in the processing a great percentage of the antigens and allergens are left behind. The final material then has extremely low allergy potential. This is not to say that no one will react to any of our hypoallergenic formulas, as some extremely sensitive people may. However, the potential for an allergic reaction is low, and the feedback from many of our extremely allergic and sensitive customers is that Allergy Research Group® supplements are the only products they are able to tolerate.
