Speaker: So glutathione is the primary antioxidant inside our body's cells. It has many, many critical jobs. Without it really, we could not be alive. Some of the jobs it does is it binds toxic metals and chemicals so that they can be excreted.
Speaker: It supports the immune system and the nervous systems. It supports the gastrointestinal tract and the lungs. It helps to recycle other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E. It supports DNA repair and synthesis and it indirectly supports protein synthesis in the body. So it has many crucial functions
Speaker: one of them is supporting the immune system and detoxification of foreign compounds right this includes helping to deal with infections and inflammation and other sources of oxidative stress and damage.
Speaker: So when glutathione is depleted because of increased toxic burden on the person or impaired production of this antioxidant, a lot of damage can happen in the body due to the resulting oxidative stress. And what's important for you to learn from this video is that many researchers have shown glutathione to be low in autistic children.
Speaker: And of course, we will discuss strategies on, first of all, how to reduce the factors that deplete glutathione in your child's body, and then what are the nutrients that you will be able to use to support glutathione production in your child's body. We'll discuss that in later modules.
