Vitamin C and Glutathione to Combat Autoimmune Diseases

August 22, 20222 min read

Since autoimmune diseases are becoming more common all around the globe, the best natural supplements for autoimmune disease is an issue of concern everywhere. If you are dealing with autoimmunity, the source of your condition is a glitch in your immune system, which often gives way to several unpleasant symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, and skin problems.


Environmental risk factors such as diet, a leaky gut, toxins, infections, and stress lead your immune system to attack your tissues. There are no cures for autoimmune diseases. However, you can manage the symptoms by supporting rather than suppressing your immune system.

How Vitamin C and Glutathione Can Help Autoimmune Diseases


Vitamin C and Glutathione can help to increase the body's natural antioxidant defense system. In turn, it helps to reduce the risk of excess oxidative stress that affects the quality of life.

  • Glutathione is a powerful defense against toxins and inflammation. It protects the body's cells from damage and supports optimal immune function. In addition, it supports the healing of the stomach lining and the blood-brain barrier. Without enough glutathione, your body cannot properly detox. Toxins linger in your bloodstream or get stored in fat. This wreaks havoc on your immune system and sets you up for chronic illness.

  • Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and strengthens your immune system cells. Studies have shown that vitamin C increases the production of life-protective antibodies and promotes the function of phagocytes, the body's scavenger cells.


The Benefit of Combining Glutathione with Vitamin C


While mighty on their own, vitamin C and glutathione are much stronger, these two antioxidants neutralize harmful free radicals.

Healthy glutathione recycling is a vital tool in managing autoimmune diseases. Glutathione and vitamin C function as a "buddy act," each having the other's back. Vitamin C helps to protect glutathione in the tissues, while glutathione converts worn-out vitamin C back into its active form.


Why you need to boost your glutathione and vitamin C levels

Your body produces some level of glutathione naturally. However, toxic drugs, environmental toxins, and other stressors slowly deplete glutathione levels. Glutathione levels also decrease naturally as a result of aging.


Unlike glutathione, your body doesn't produce vitamin C, so you need to get it from your diet. Vitamin C gets used up rapidly during infection, and when we are under tremendous stress, so it needs to be constantly replenished.


Be sure to get vitamin C and glutathione IV therapy in your next appointment. Restore your health and regain your quality of life.
