Nutraceuticals and You

On page 141 of my book,
Silent Takeover
How the Body Hijacks the Mind,
I write,
While I am not one to promote taking a handful of supplements, the most efficient way to
increase your body’s production of its own glutathione may be with a nutraceutical
supplement. Pubmed.gov has a number of clinical trials published on such a product,
Protandim.* In one of the clinical trials, this supplement, a synergistic blend of five plants,
in vitro, was able to increase the body’s own production of glutathione by almost 300% with
just one pill per day. It works in the body by activating the body’s “watch dog”, the Nrf 2
Pathway. When activated, this pathway facilitates signaling between cells, affecting every
cell in the body. The “watch dog” sends a signal that the body needs additional glutathione,
super-oxide dismutase, catalase, and other antioxidant enzymes to counteract oxidative
stress. These enzymes, especially glutathione, get busy cleansing and regulating proper cell
function in the body and brain.
