Orally-effective Glutathione NEW ITEM
Glutathione is known as the master antioxidant and highly active in human lungs and many other organ systems and tissues. It has many reported uses. It has a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and maintaining the immune system. Higher blood levels of glutathione have been associated with better health.
Glutathione supports the body's immune system by fighting off invaders, including cancer cells. A body with sufficient glutathione fights off these threats more easily.
Up until now, orally administered glutathione has not been proven to raise glutathione levels in the cell. Substitutes, known as 'precursors' to glutathione have become the preferred method of supplementing this powerful antioxident. However, effectiveness of precursors is very dependant upon a persons overall ability to metabolize the precursor properly.
Belmar pharmacy is the exclusive distributor of an orally effective glutathione tablet. It is available by prescription from your licensed medical medical professional.
Among the uses that have been reported for glutathione are:
· treating Parkinson's disease
· treating Alzheimer’s disease
· treatment of inflamatory conditions (arthritis, joint aches & pains)
treatment of poisoning, particularly heavy metal poisons
· treatment of idiopathic pulmonary firbosis
· increasing the effectiveness and reducing the toxicity of cis-platinum, a chemo drug used to treat breast cancer
· lowering blood pressure in patients with diabetes
· increasing male sperm counts in humans and animals
· treatment of liver cancer
· treatment of sickle cell anemia

Curcumin C3 Complex
Curcumin C3 Complex is an extract of Curcuma longa root, commonly known as “Turmeric". Turmeric has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, and is a common household remedy in India. The active constituent is known as curcumin.
The National Cancer Institute is currently developing curcumin as a drug for the treatment of cancer. The rationale behind this effort is based on the combination of potential chemo preventive mechanisms, the validated biological activity in preclinical studies and its proven safety to humans.

CoQ10
CoQ10 is required to convert fats and sugars into cellular energy, yet the natural production of CoQ10 declines precipitously with advancing age. When the body has an ample amount of CoQ10 the mitochondria can work most efficiently throughout the entire body, in cells everywhere, including the most densely populated area, the heart.
Coenzyme Q10 is incorporated into the mitochondria of cells throughout the body where it facilitates and regulates the transformation of fats and sugars into energy. A large body of scientific evidence shows that CoQ10’s ability to restore mitochondrial function has a profound effect on one’s overall health.
Without adequate coenzyme Q10, the ability of cells to utilize energy substrates declines precipitously. The end result is the development of multiple problems characteristic of normal aging.
Our CoQ10 tablets incorporate our BLA™ absorption system.
Dosing: Oral (by mouth)
50-100mg tablets dosed once per day, usually in the a.m. Please contact our pharmacist for more information.
