Best-Kept Secret for Improved Muscle Strength & Recovery Time
Sports nutrition and sports physiology recognizes that athletes use muscles ... that muscles need oxygen ... that using oxygen makes toxins, or “free radicals,” and...THAT THESE TOXINS ARE WHAT MAKES YOU SORE AND TIRED AND EVEN SICK.What is NOT generally recognized is that the body has its OWN inbuilt MECHANISM that neutralizes and eliminates these free radicals and toxins, AND THAT THIS MECHANISM CAN BE ENHANCED.
You get Sore, Tired and Sick from Toxins Made by your Muscles!
What do the medical sports nutrition experts say about this? They say that when you generate more free radicals and toxins than your body can handle, there is less of an enzyme called glutathione. This negatively affects the immune system as well as strength, endurance and recovery time.
Key to Improved Performance
Powerlifter and Nationally Recognized, Certified Performance Coach Nicholas Theodorou:
"Enhancing the immune system helps my trainees, Olympic athletes and all sports enthusiasts. I searched four decades for supplements that are safe, legal and effective, and the best I found enhance the body's own protective and recovery mechanism -- by increasing glutathione."
What does coach Nick and champion athletes say?
How Best To Feed the Immune?
Medical science has studied a molecule called glutathione -- that is made in every cell of the body -- and it is just beginning to be understood that its role is key to the immune system as well as to strength, endurance and recovery time.
Even though there are over 70,000 published medical studies on the role of
glutathione,
these studies don't tell you how to raise your glutathione levels, because taking it in pill form does not work.
You cannout just reach for a bottle of glutathione, because it gets digested and does not get into the blood and into the cells that way.
A medical
discovery
has only recently shown how to raise glutathione through supplementation, so that its importance is just becoming recognized within sports physiology.
Individual athletes and teams are now beginning to use this knowledge to "get that edge."

What Doctors say about enhancing glutathione for health and sports nutrition
Research Shows Exercise Is Good For You, But To A Point...
Yes, when you are in shape your body can withstand more stress and you are less prone to disease.... ...but it is also well-documented in exercise physiology that with STRENUOUS EXERCISE, these benefits can TURN into NEGATIVES, especially as you get older. Why is that? While moderate activity enhances the immune system, it has been repeatedly shown that too much exercise acts to suppress immune function. Therefore, MARATHON RUNNERS who run over 60 MILES per week are twice as likely to catch a cold as those who run only 20 MILES in one week!
The Immune, Performance and Sports Nutrition
Dr. Larry Lands at McGill University in Montreal tested how the immune affects performance in a clinical trial for immune supplementation in sport nutrition. He gave athletes protein supplementation aimed at increasing glutathione levels. Twenty healthy young adults were studied before and after 3 months of using a glutathione enhancing supplement. He then assessed their muscular performance by: 1) whole-leg isokinetic cycle testing, 2) measuring peak power and 30-second work capacity. What was the result?
13 % Improved Muscle Strength, Better Recovery
While the placebo group showed no change, Dr. Lands found that the group given the cysteine-rich sport nutrition (cysteine is the raw material needed for glutathione) had their STRENGTH and ENDURANCE increased by a remarkable 13%. By using the type of protein that raises glutathione levels, their RECOVERY TIME and IMMUNE FUNCTION improved significantly. And they had a decrease in their PERCENTAGE OF BODY FAT while maintaining their weight.
Improved Performance
The study clinically demonstrated that increasing the defense against toxins and “free radicals,” RESULTS IN IMPROVED PERFORMANCE.This shows that sports nutrition and supplementation to raise glutathione, or GSH: 1) increases immune function, 2) helps resist infection, 3) decreases muscle damage, 4) reduces recovery time, 5) increases strength and endurance, 6) shifts metabolism from fat production to muscular development
Breakthrough For YOUR Competitive Edge?
This little-known discovery in sports nutrition can help you put the odds on your side by boosting your immune system AND improving your recovery time!Sports nutrition has focused on the body-building aspects of whey protein, but has tended to overlook the role of specially processed whey proteins to enhance both performance and the immune. Most whey proteins are processed and instantized and do NOT raise glutathione. Very few whey proteins are specially processed to be bioactive to be able to raise glutathione levels. The good news is that raising glutathione levels with diet is approved for Olympic athletes.
