Glutathione (“THE MASTER ANTIOXIDANT”) and NRF 2
Glutathione and NRF 2 play crucial roles in reducing brain inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key factors in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Here’s how they help:
Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant and detoxifier. Many individuals with autism have been found to have lower levels of glutathione and impaired detoxification pathways.
- Reduces oxidative stress: Children with ASD often have higher oxidative stress, which damages brain cells. Glutathione neutralizes free radicals and protects neurons.
- Supports detoxification: Glutathione helps eliminate heavy metals like mercury and lead and other toxins, which are more commonly found in individuals with autism, due to weaker detoxification systems.
- Improves mitochondrial function: Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to autism, and glutathione plays a key role in protecting and restoring mitochondrial health.
- Nutrigenomics: ASEA, with Redox Signaling Molecules, has been shown to enhance NRF 2 activation and boost glutathione production by up to 800%! NRF 2 is a protein that regulates the body’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses. When activated, it triggers the production of glutathione and other protective enzymes.
- Reduces neuroinflammation: Brain inflammation is common in autism and contributes to behavioral and cognitive challenges. NRF 2 activation helps reduce inflammatory markers.
- Enhances brain protection: By boosting the body’s own defense mechanisms, NRF 2 produces damage from environmental toxins, stress, and inflammation.
- Supports brain plasticity: Some research suggests that NRF 2 activation can improve synaptic function and communication between neurons, which may help with cognitive and social difficulties in autism.
- Exercise: Regular physical activity naturally activates in our NRF2.
- Reducing toxin exposure: Avoiding processed foods, artificial additives and environmental toxins support better glutathione function.
By increasing glutathione levels and activating NRF 2, we can help reduce brain inflammation, improve detoxification, and support neurological health in individuals with autism. This approach offers a natural way to enhance brain function and overall well-being.
