The Menstruation Cycle

Click any picture to enlarge

wpe1.jpg (8406 bytes) Day 1 of cycle menstruation begins the process of building glutathione in the cells. Green dots = the normal spread of glutathione throughout cells of the body. Glutathione is needed in all of our body cells, liver and other major organs to sustain life. Without glutathione inside our cells, our body will die. 

Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant in our body.

 

Day 28 As the menstruation cycle continues, glutathione is depleted from other parts of the body and other cells and moved to the reproductive organs in case of conception. The embryo will need massive amounts of glutathione, taken from the mother, to begin the growth process. 

This is the time period of the cycle where most symptoms of PMS begin to occur.

 

Day 29 On day 29, the glutathione is now dumped from the body and the 28 day cycle begins again. Most severe PMS symptoms take place at this moment. The bodies defenses and the immune system are at an all time low.  

 

 The ideal body functioning
If you supplement your body with glutathione daily, as the menstruation cycle progresses to completion, your body will not go through the peaks and valleys as normal.

As shown in the picture to the left, the female body will still accumulate higher levels of glutathione within the reproductive organs but with supplementation, normal levels of glutathione will remain in other key and vital parts of the body.
