Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that is important for fighting oxidative damage and free radicals. Glutathione levels decrease as we age, negatively impacting sperm and egg health. Studies show higher levels of glutathione lead to better quality embryos. Our Glutathione cream allows for transdermal absorption of Glutathione. This formula also contains a bevy of other antioxidant ingredients, including Astaxanthin, Safflower Seed Oil and Squalane, for a more powerful antioxidant impact.
We recommend using our Glutathione cream for at least three months before expecting to see an improvement, and continuing use during while trying to conceive. Both men and women benefit from Glutathione for impact on egg and sperm quality.
After confirming pregnancy, you can choose to continue or discontinue use of Glutathione. Like so many things, there have not been studies on Glutathione use during pregnancy for safety, but it is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced by the human body. Environmental pollutants and modern processed diets deplete our glutathione levels. Lower levels of glutathione are a health concern. There are no known risks for using glutathione during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.
Many studies show that many pregnancy and fetal health concerns, including pre-term labor, IUGR and preeclampsia, are associated with oxidative stress. A study showed that Glutathione prevented preterm labor and fetal distress.
An additional study showed, for pregnant women, naturally high levels of Glutathione could be an indicator of risk for miscarriage, this does not mean that glutathione causes miscarriage. Rather than a cause, it is thought to be a warning signal.
