What is Parkinson's Disease?

Picture
Parkinson’s occurs when certain nerve cells (neurons) in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra die or become impaired. Normally, these cells produce a vital chemical known as dopamine. Dopamine allows smooth, coordinated function of the body's muscles and movement. When approximately 70% of the dopamine-producing cells are damaged, the symptoms of Parkinson disease appear. These symptoms include tremor, muscle rigidity or stiffness, and slowness of movement. 

The Glutathione Connection

The disease process in Parkinson's patients creates extreme oxidative stress within the brain. Glutathione is the brain's most powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and neutralise toxins. However glutathione is known to be depleted in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease. 

Doctors have observed what has been called the "glutathione miracle" when patients with severe Parkinson's disease given intravenous glutathione experience a rapid improvement in symptoms. 

Glutathione is depleted in Parkinson's

Patients with Parkinson's Disease have significantly depleted levels of glutathione in their brains.

“Loss of intracellular neuronal glutathione (GSH) is an important feature of neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease. The consequences of GSH depletion include increased oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA and subsequent cytotoxic effects.”

Glutathione Supplementation

Picture
Scientists have demonstrated that glutathione supplementation may help to slow the progression of brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease. 

However, glutathione cannot be supplemented orally as it is a fragile molecule that is broken down in the digestive system if taken by mouth. Instead glutathione precursors must be provided so that the cells can manufacture glutathione. Breakthrough compound RiboCeine™ effectively delivers these essential precursor nutrients to the cells where they can then be turned into glutathione.

RiboCeine is far more effective than any other form of glutathione enhancement and is uniquely found in the supplement CellgevityCellgevity is ideal for supporting brain function, improving mental clarity, improving sleep, increasing energy and for optimising overall health.
