Improve Insulin Sensitivity
Insulin is a hormone that helps the body to use glucose from food for energy. Some research has suggested that it may improve insulin sensitivity. A study found that it may help to improve insulin sensitivity by increasing the activity of an enzyme called PI3K. This enzyme is involved in the regulation of blood sugar levels.
Another study found that glutathione improved insulin sensitivity in rats when it was given as a supplement. The rats who received this substance had lower blood sugar levels and required less insulin than those who did not receive the supplement. These studies suggest that glutathione may be beneficial for people with diabetes or other conditions that cause insulin resistance.
Relieves symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
Glutathione is a natural occurring peptide that is found in almost all cells. It is considered to be an important antioxidant, and has been shown to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Several studies have suggested that it may also help to relieve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and progressive neurological disorder that affects the movement of muscles. Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease can include tremors, rigidity, and difficulty with balance and coordination. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but treatments are available to help manage symptoms.
Some research suggests that glutathione may be beneficial for people with Parkinson’s disease. One study found that glutathione levels were significantly lower in people with Parkinson’s disease compared to healthy controls.
