A powerful antioxidant, l-glutathione is found in every cell within the human body. It’s particularly highly concentrated around the liver to assist with body detoxification. L-glutathione is made up of three compounds: l-cystine, l-glycine, and glutamic acid. This antioxidant helps to protect cells from oxidative stress and is particularly important for fertility. However from about the age of 20 the levels of this enzyme begins to decline leading to several diseases in adulthood associated with oxidative stress and low glutathione levels.

Why oxidative stress is damaging to Sperm

A rich coating of polyunsaturated fatty acids make up a large portion of the layer that coats mammalian spermatozoa. These fatty acids are highly vulnerable to damaged caused by reactive oxygen species due to lipid peroxidation. This causes irreversible damage to the sperm cell membrane. As a result, sperm lose motility (can swim far), their morphology (shape is altered with some having double heads, short tail etc), and the ability to penetrate the egg is dramatically reduced, significantly lowering fertility

L-glutathione and healthy sperm

To protect sperm from lipid peroxidation the body depends on important antioxidant enzymes, specifically glutathione peroxidase/reductase (GPX/GRD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase. If l-glutathione levels are low during sperm production it can cause problems with spermatozoa membrane integrity due to lack of protection from oxidative stress. Andrologists have confirmed in clinical trials that infertile men have increased levels of oxidative stress which is likely to account for poor sperm quality. The infertile men in these studies have significantly higher reactive oxygen species compared with the control groups. Low antioxidant concentrations correlated with a reduction in sperm motility. Higher levels of reactive oxygen species were associated with defective sperm morphology and low sperm counts.

The results from studies by Pasqualotto and colleagues support the theory that free radical damage can reduce sperm’s lifespan, decrease motility, and reduce the likelihood of penetrating the oocyte. According to these studies, 40% of men diagnosed with idiopathic infertility have higher concentrations of reactive oxygen species in their bodies. Researchers therefore recommend that infertile men utilize strategies to lower oxidative stress and subsequently increase sperm quality.

Studies have shown that l-glutathione supplementation can be used to restore the important polyunsaturated fatty acid coating of sperm cells to protect integrity. Consequently, healthy sperm motility and morphology can be supported through l-glutathione therapy

The most advanced technology for raising glutathione levels in the cells up is the Riboceine (D-Ribose-L-Cysteine) technology patented by Prof Nagasawa after over 25 years of research in the University of Minnesota. This product is exclusively marketed by Max International. This technology uses D-Ribose to cover up cysteine so that the fragile amino acid cysteine can get to the cells and the ribose sugar is used to produce ATP for energy while cysteine joins the other two readily available amino acids (glutamate and Glycine) to produce glutathione in the cells naturally. This technology has been found to raise GSH levels by over 300% in isolated liver cells. Having concerns with your sperm quality, hormone imbalance and conception? Get this product now.
