What is Glutathione?
Your cell's primary internal antioxidant is Glutathione, a tri-peptide consisting of three linked amino acids.
Why do you need Glutathione?
All cells absolutely require Glutathione to protect their
membranes, lipids, proteins, and DNA. For instance, your liver is particularly
sensitive to low Glutathione levels, as its main job is detoxifying compounds
entering your body. This detoxification process produces aggressive
intermediate substances which need to be quenched quickly and efficiently with
the antioxidant Glutathione. However the benefits of optimal Glutathione levels
are not restricted only to the liver. Tissues like the brain, under enormous
oxidative stress due to high oxygen input, can benefit significantly from
optimal Glutathione levels, potentially protecting against age related changes
and degenerative disorders.
Why would you take HepTech to enhance your Glutathione levels?
HepTech supplies building blocks such as N-Acetylcyteine (NAC) needed to make new Glutathione, and raises the level of Glutathione within the cells of your body in a robust and reliable fashion. But beyond NAC, over 20 different ingredients are required in specific quantities to optimize intracellular Glutathione levels and its rate of synthesis. Heptech is based upon numerous scientific papers studying the synthesis and regeneration of the Glutathione molecule. Several antioxidants must work in concert to successfully defuse free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and Glutathione must be constantly regenerated in order to maintain optimal levels. Heptech supplies the specific vitamins and cofactors required to regenerate used (oxidized) Glutathione back to its active (reduced) state.
HepTech has been formulated with the highest quality
ingredients to ensure effectiveness. Our N-acetyl cysteine is made in Germany and
does not come from human, avian or pig sources, like almost all other NAC
products available today do. We use only the active purified R-isomer of Alpha
Lipoic Acid, unlike many others which use the less potent and potentially
inhibitory R/L mixture. Finally, the highest quality support vitamins and
minerals are used to complement the necessary biochemical reduction pathways.
What can you expect from taking HepTech?
HepTech supports cell longevity and the critical defense against numerous insults that operate via free radicals and reactive oxygen species by maximizing the internal antioxidant capacity within your own cells. The final result is major antioxidant support for every cell in your body, allowing your cells to function at optimal levels of health under the protection of maximal levels of all key critical antioxidants.
