Glutathione and the Antioxidant Network

Antioxidants are our body’s primary protection against the harm triggered by free radicals which contribute to many chronic inflammatory and degenerative problems. Oxy radicals are the root cause of premature aging. Among all the antioxidants, a group of five are acknowledged as Network Antioxidants. This group of both fat and water soluble antioxidants work together to assist your cells and do the job together to support each other.

How Network Antioxidants work

When an antioxidant passes an electron to correct or repair a free radical, it actually becomes one, but a benign one without the capacity to continue the chain reaction.  Unfortunately, when they become oxidized, antioxidants can no longer perform effectively.  But, what is unique about the network antioxidants is that are able to regenerate each other and carry on the cycle of searching out and repairing free radicals.

Even though they do the job together, the network antioxidants fulfill diverse jobs.  The fat soluble ones, namely CoQ-10 and Vitamin E protect the fatty cell wall and the cell mitochondria, while the water soluble antioxidants, Glutathione and Vitamin C protect the center of the cell. ALA – Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique in that it is both fat and water soluble.

Vitamin C is the link which joins the fat soluble and water soluble antioxidants in the network and is primarily responsible for rejuvenating Vitamin E when it becomes oxidized.

Vitamin E is closely aligned with heart disease prevention, because it’s the only antioxidant that can reach fatty parts of the cell that are not reachable to the rest of the network.  It’s actually not a single compound but is instead a group of fat soluble alcohols.

CoQ-10 or CoEnzyme Q-10 is present in all your cells, where it is concentrated in the mitochondria,  the component of your cell that creates energy. Mitochondria are susceptible to free radical injury which has been evidenced as a loss of energy as we age. Additionally, CoQ-10 contributes in the regeneration of Vitamins C, E and Glutathione.

Glutathione, popularly recognized as the Body’s Master antioxidant is continuall circulating through your cells, repairing your immune cells and cleansing cellular waste from your body. It supports the rejuvenation of all of the remaining network antioxidants. Raising your glutathione levels helps protect you from various inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma and others.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique amongst the Network Antioxidants in that it is both fat and water soluable and can help both the fatty membrane and water based interior of your cells. It is also uniquely capable of repairing itself and notably can regenerate the other network antioxidants including glutathione. It helps to avert muscle damage during tough workouts.

Like glutathione and CoEnzyme Q-10, ALA is created by your body, but the production capacity declines substantially as we age.

Alpha Linolenic Acid

ALA Alpha-Linolenic  acid is is something that confused me at first.  I was researching ALA which is found in Cellgevity and learned – much ot my surprise that ALA not only stands for Alpha Lipoic Acid- which is an ingredient in Cellgevity but also Alpha Linolenic acid which is something completely different.

Alpha linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated, omega-3 fatty acid originally identified by A. Rollet in 1909.  It is most effortlessly found in seed oils like walnut, canola, soybean hemp and flax . It’s also observed in the membranes responsible for photosynthesis in broad leafed, green plants (thylakoid membranes).

Other outstanding, although less acknowledged sources of ALA are Perilla, Kiwifruit and Chia . Perilla oil is extracted from the seeds of the Perilla family, a.k.a the mint family. Although in the west it is used principally in the paint industry, (like linseed oil) in the east it is used for its content of ALA giving it antioxidant qualities and a significant content of vitamins and minerals . Chia is not always associated with the pets of the same name. Chia is also known as Salvia hispanica. It is another member of the mint family.

ALA is one of the essential fatty acids and what this means is that it can only be obtained from our diets. We are unable to create any of the essential fatty acids on our own.

Research conducted over the years on Alpha-linolenic acid have connected it to many beneficial outcomes including a decreased chance of cardiovascular disease.  In 2005, a study conducted on young adults revealed that daily amounts of ALA diminished the levels of anxiety and stress among the subjects and a reduction of cortisol levels was objectively measured.  This finding was abundantly supported in a 2011 study conducted by Harvard University on 50,000 women that  over a period of ten years, found that a higher intake of ALAa-linolenic acid combined with a reduced intake of linoleic acid was connected with a substantial decrease in depression.

ALA is also a impressive antioxidant, known to combat numerous forms of oxidative stress and to help recycle other antioxidants.

Regrettably, due to the requirement that commercial food processors have for characteristics like “spread ability” which requires that ALA be partially hydrogenated, the most available source of ALA – soybeans, are being genetically modified to produce reduced amounts of ALA and linoleic acid.

While still being assessed for its advantages relative to heart health, a modest consumption of dietary ALA could prove beneficial for the primary and secondary reduction of coronary heart disease.

That’s the scoop on Alpha Linolenic Acid.
