Grow Your Own Pharmacy was borne of a passion for a way of life. Millions of vitamin & mineral supplements are sold every day across the globe. Many get left in the back of the cupboard some are unsuitable and/or sub-standard & very few are needed! The human species has evolved this far without cupboards full of pills & potions but with the environment in which he or she lives. Our environment has everything we need to produce the vitamins & minerals for healthy bodies, minds & souls. A little exercise is required to put this theory into action. But physical exercise is part of the human make-up & we need to move everyday to keep joints supple muscles strong & ultimately to keep ourselves stress-free. Grow Your Own Pharmacy guides the reader through the overwhelming mountain of health information available & sorts it out into practical everyday use. Everyone who wants to be healthy owes it to him or herself to put away those supplements & get down to what real healthy eating is all about. The book lists recommended daily vitamins but doesn't rest there. Each separate vitamin or mineral has it's own checklist to show at a glance what foods are required to fulfil the daily need. These foods in turn are each given a whole chapter on how to grow them & use them. & those without a garden won't miss out
- where there's a will there's a way!

Contains per vegetarian capsule GSH (reduced L-glutathione)    100    mg Excipients: microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose (HPMC), magnesium stearate. Free from: maize, soy, yeast, gluten, lactose, added saccharose, gelatine, preservatives, artificial colouring & flavouring agents, artificial odours. GMO-free. DESCRIPTION The antioxidant glutathione is found in all the body cells in relatively high concentrations & is an important indicator of the cell function & viability of the cell. The body makes its own glutathione; a (small) portion comes from foods such as fresh vegetables, fruit, seafood & meat products. Glutathione has two forms: the reduced form (GSH) & the oxidised form (GSSG, i.e. glutathione disulfide). The term "glutathione" generally refers to reduced glutathione (GSH). Glutathione only has a protective effect in the body when present in reduced form. Glutathione plays an essential role in the immune system. The availability of glutathione is a limiting factor in the activity of lymphocytes after being in contact with an antigen. Glutathione also regenerates the condition of red & white blood cells. Glutathione supports the cleansing of the liver & is an important antioxidant that also makes other antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid en coenzyme Q10) suitable for recycling. It supports the lung function in that capacity (protects against free radicals) & protects the nerve tissue & the brain from aging. It also protects against lipid peroxidation. Most important characteristics of GSH Glutathione 100 mg      Contains only reduced glutathione (GSH), the only form of glutathione effective in the human body      Effective balance between minimal decomposition & optimal absorption      Contains only the natural L-form      The only antioxidant present in all body cells as a detoxifier USE Take 1 capsule daily, during or immediately after a meal. There is a reasonable chance that a too large percentage of glutathione will be destroyed in the intestinal wall when using less than 100 mg glutathione a day. One way to avoid the proteases is by dissolving the content of one or more capsules in water, then stirring well & drink. Research shows that direct contact of glutathione with the mucous membranes of the mouth has a beneficial effect on absorption. Already more than 60% of the glutathione is absorbed when taking the glutathione capsules in the regular way in doses of 100 mg to 200 mg per day. The surprisingly high bioavailability appears to be linked to a specific absorption system for glutathione in the intestinal wall which has been discovered recently. The absorption rate does not increase in proportion to the dose; the use of higher doses decreases the efficiency of the absorption. The capsule may be opened if experiencing difficulties with swallowing. WARNING Interactions with regular medication & other natural health products may occur. Please consult an expert about this.

A study on healthy volunteers compared absorption of a single 400-mg dose of green tea polyphenols as non-complexed standardized extract Greenselect or as the same extract complexed with phosphatidylcholine Greenselect Phytosome. Peak blood concentration of EGCG from the phytosome, measured over a period of six hours, was Approx. double that of the non-complexed green tea extract.* Green tea polyphenols are powerful antioxidants due to their particular flavonoid structures, & their glutathione-sparing activity has been well documented.* Green tea polyphenols also help maintain the body's normal inflammatory response.* Green tea has a thermogenic effect.* Extracts of EGCG increase energy expenditure & fat oxidation, thus essentially burning calories.* Greenselect Phytosome was tested in obese subjects (n=100) of both genders on a low-caloric diet; 50 subjects were assigned to the green tea extract plus the low-calorie diet, while the other 50 subjects followed the low-calorie diet only. After 90 days of treatment, significantly greater improvement in weight & body mass index was observed in the Greenselect Phytosome group compared to the diet-only group.* Human studies of green tea's weight management properties resulted in greater calorie burning by individuals taking the extract.* Although some of the effects of green tea extract have been attributed to the caffeine content, a study found increased metabolic rate & greater fat metabolism in study subjects taking green tea extract compared to those taking a placebo, even though the green tea extract did not contain caffeine.
