Key Berries and Herbs For Daily Glutathione-Related Detoxification, DNA & Cellular Repair, Biological Age Reversal, and Extended Longevity With Increasing Levels of Health
Inside every cell of your body is the well known molecule — glutathione — also called "the master antioxidant" or the "body's own detoxifier."
Glutathione is also involved in the remediation of chronic health conditions like neurological disorders, stem cell and cellular aging, vascular dysfunction, autoimmunity — all of which are directly related to toxin neutralization and nutrient deficiencies — and steadily improved with specific natural resources.
A Few Significant Key Functions Provided by Glutathione
-
Glutathione physically grabs onto environmental pollutants and heavy metals making it possible for your liver to flush them out through the bile’s natural laxative effects or the urine.
-
It also helps your DNA repair itself when it gets damaged by toxins,
-
and — in one of the most recent discoveries in aging science — glutathione determines whether your stem cells remain young and self-renewable or damaged and defective — which happens to also be a key purpose behind the entire NeoGeneSys Life Enrichment System
This simply means that, by enhancing the synthesis and recycling of glutathione throughout the body, you will age more gracefully with greater levels of physical dexterity and health.
By utilizing the whole fruit, seed, food, and herb approach of the NeoGeneSys Life Enrichment System you can significantly influence how much glutathione your body makes, thereby increasing your detoxification and cellular rejuvenation (neogenesis) powers — which are your body’s natural, endogenous (internal) youth-promoting functions.
This is Where Herbal C Rejuv Comes In
Most people know that vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) is connected to glutathione synthesis in the body. Most often it is provided to us in pill form, via an ascorbic acid (vitamin C) isolated nutrient, sometimes with bioflavonoids included for “improved bioavailability”. [1] It is also known to be in many citrus fruits.
Another process involves citric acid that works through an entirely different and equally important mechanism in support of glutathione protection and recycling.
Citric acid can be found in lemons, limes, rosehips, and many berries like Sea Buckthorn Berry, Golden Berry, Hawthorn Berry, Blueberry, etc., many of which are in Herbal C Rejuv.
When citric acid enters your cells, it feeds into a process called “the Krebs cycle”, purported to be associated to the energy-producing process in your mitochondria. [2]
Citric acid is the key ingredient used by the body to rebuild glutathione within the mitochondria after glutathione has done its work of neutralizing toxins.
Citric acid restores a key molecule (NADPH) that is required, in conjunction with the actions of ascorbic acid, to recycle glutathione throughout the body for another round of detoxification and support for other critical functions — including DNA repair and stem cell enhancement!
Without the rebuilding power of citric acid, worn-out glutathione is less likely to be recycled.
Here is the key point — the berries in Herbal C Rejuv are providing an abundance of both of the raw materials glutathione needs: the ascorbic acid to help recycle it directly, and the citric acid to fuel the recycling machinery.
What Glutathione Actually Does For You:
-
Detoxification: Your liver uses glutathione to grab onto pesticides, heavy metals, drug metabolites, and environmental chemicals, wrap them up, making them water soluble, and flush them out in bile and urine.
Low glutathione = slower detox = more stored toxins, therefore advancing chronic conditions. Daily increases in glutathione result in chronic conditions being prevented or gradually reversed. [3]
-
DNA and Cellular Repair: Every day your DNA sustains oxidative damage from environmental pollution, medical treatments, cell phone usage, farm chemicals, etc.
Glutathione is required for the enzymes that find and fix that damage. Without it, genetic errors accumulate over time. Repaired DNA leads to cellular longevity and greater resilience in the body to environmental toxins and stressors. [4][5]
-
Stem cell activation: A landmark 2023 UCLA study found that the difference between old muscle stem cells that still regenerate effectively and those that cannot, corresponds directly to their glutathione levels. [6]
Restoring glutathione daily makes old stem cells behave like young ones again.
-
Chronic disease protection: Low glutathione is consistently found in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and many more conditions. [7][8][9]
Enhancing and recycling your glutathione numbers in the body on a daily basis is a wise preventative, as well as restorative, action.
-
Biological age: Your glutathione levels — specifically the ratio of active glutathione to spent glutathione — are now recognized as a measurable marker of your biological age that can differ substantially, forward or backward, from your chronological age. [10]
Everyday Foods and Herbs that Make a Positive Difference:
In addition to Herbal C Rejuv, a diet rich in foods like broccoli (especially sprouts), garlic, asparagus, avocado, spinach, turmeric, green tea, and seaweeds (for selenium and many other supportive nutrients) provides the cysteine building blocks, the citric acid fuel, the sulforaphane and curcumin signals that tell your cells to make more glutathione.
Seaweeds typically contain the selenium that makes the glutathione-peroxidase enzyme work (a crucial enzyme in the body's defense against oxidative stress. This enzyme plays a significant role in detoxifying harmful peroxides, which if left unchecked, can lead to cellular damage, inflammation, and a host of chronic diseases. [16]
Adding milk thistle seed (in Fiber Blend) can increase hepatic (liver) glutathione synthesis (construction) by up to 35–50% on its own. [11][12][13]
Adding moringa leaf (in Earth & Sea Greens, Fiber Blend, and Sea Vegetable Blend plus Moringa), being rich in isothiocyanates, particularly moringin, is also known to significantly elevate cellular glutathione synthesis. [14][15]
These foods, berries, and herbs are key biological requirements for sustained high levels of daily glutathione in the body which activate your body's own protective systems at the DNA and genetic level.
Glutathione is the downstream beneficiary of a carefully orchestrated biological relay of molecular conversions supported and activated by these natural sources and their nutrient profiles.
The vast array of combined plant nutrients within the entire NeoGeneSys Life Enrichment System is a powerful way to daily activate and maintain this glutathione synthesis and recycling relay in support of the natural detoxification required for cellular neogenesis and biological longevity with increasing levels of physical health.
