Glutathione Deficiency and Its implications on
Health
Glutathione may not be well known to many people
as much as the other vitamins and minerals, but
it is an important antioxidant present in the
cells of the human body. It is a substance made
from three amino acids cysteine, glutamate, and
glycine. Glutathione is produced naturally by the
body but some circumstances like age,
medication, etc. may cause a deficiency,
requiring replenishment from the outer
sources. Glutathione plays a pivotal role in
combating free radicals and performing vital
metabolic reactions in your body. It directly
inactivates dangerous molecules and detoxifies
the chemicals that are responsible for aging, DNA
damage, and oxidation of cells, due to which it
is known as the bodys master antioxidant. It
benefits the skin, especially by keeping it young
and glowing. Glutathione deficiency causes Since
it is such an important element of our body,
glutathione deficiency causes a lot of health
issues. The level of glutathione in your body
naturally drops as you age. However, there could
be extremely low levels of this antioxidant due
to causes such as poor diet, lack of exercise,
chronic diseases like diabetes and sleep apnea,
weak immune system, certain infections, stress,
etc.

• Implications of Glutathione Deficiency
• A drop in the normal levels of glutathione can
  contribute to a variety of adverse health
  implications, which may act as warning signs for
  the bodys declining health status. The major
  implications of a drop in this antioxidant can
  result in
• Tiredness and lack of energy- Glutathione
  deficiency may make you feel constantly tired
  and you may not even know the actual cause behind
  it unless you get your levels checked
  clinically.
• Body Aches and pains- When your body is deprived
  of the proper energy, it will subsequently lead
  to body pain and aches every now and then even in
  performing the very basic daily chores of life.
  It can cause sore muscles and joints.
• Foggy brain- Antioxidant protects the radicals
  from damaging the brain cells, and a deficiency
  will lead to nervous system symptoms such as a
  weak memory, confusion, lack of sleep and mental
  clarity.
• Low Immunity- A weaker immune system is a driving
  force for this deficiency and also a subsequent
  symptom. Antioxidants build up the body's immune
  defense and a drop will lead to low immunity for
  sure.
• Loss of skin elasticity and youthfulness-
  Glutathione benefits for skin are widely known.
  Many people supplement glutathione for skin
  whitening, but it does a lot more than that.
  Since free radicals increase due to glutathione
  deficiency, it causes saggy skin and ageing.

• Iron Supplements That are safe For Kids If They
  Are Suffering From Iron Deficiency
• Iron, as we all know, is an important mineral
  involved in making hemoglobin, a protein in the
  red blood cells (RBCs) that helps deliver oxygen
  throughout the body as well as aid many other
  body functions. Without hemoglobin, the body
  stops producing healthy RBCs leading to low
  blood, which can affect a childs muscles,
  tissues, and cell growth, more than it affects
  adults, since children are at a growing stage.
• When infants switch to eating more solid foods,
  they might lack iron-rich foods, which puts them
  at risk for iron deficiency anemia, affecting
  their social, mental and physical development as
  well as increase the risk of infections like the
  cold and flu.
• Ideally, kids can get their iron and other
  vitamins from a balanced, nutrient-dense diet
  including fish, poultry, meat, beans, green leafy
  vegetables and fortified pulses, following which
  they wont require any supplements. But certain
  hindrances like picky and moody eating habits,
  vegan or vegetarian diet, malabsorption, early
  menstruation, etc. can cause iron deficiencies
  which may require oral supplements.
• Its important to talk with your doctor before
  giving iron supplements to your child. If your
  child is showing any symptoms like-
• behavioral problems
• loss of appetite
• weakness
• increased sweating
• strange cravings (pica), like eating dirt
• failure to grow at the expected rate
• Your doctor might take a small sample of blood to
  check your childs red blood cells. If your
  doctor suspects your child has an iron
  deficiency, they may prescribe a supplement.
• Best iron supplements for kids
• Iron supplements for adults contain far too much
  iron, so they arent safe for children.

• But there are many supplements available in
  tablets or liquid formulations that are made
  specifically for young children. These include
• Liquid drops
• Liquid supplements are easy to take and absorb.
  The bottle typically comes with a dropper with
  markings on the tube to indicate the dosage
  level, making it easy to put straight into your
  childs mouth. Do not forget to brush their teeth
  after giving any liquid iron supplement, as they
  cause teeth staining.
• Syrups
• There are sugar free syrups in good flavors
  available for children. You can safely measure
  out and give your child a spoonful of their iron
  supplement with syrup.
• Chews
• If you find liquids and syrups messy, a chewable
  supplement is the way to go. Theyre sweet, easy
  to eat, and typically contain many vitamins in
  the same table, with a delectable flavor to
  attract kids. Its also important to remember to
  keep the bottle locked away and out of the reach
  of your children to prevent overdose.
• Gummies
• Just like chew, fruity gummies are a kids
  favorite because of their taste and resemblance
  to candy. While its perfectly safe to give your
  kid a vitamin gummy, parents should be extra
  cautious to keep them out of the reach of
  children at all times, again, to avoid overdose.
• Powder
• A powder iron supplement can be mixed with your
  kids favorite foods, making it a great option
  for picky eaters. They wont even realize that
  they have consumed a medicine and it will be
  effective too. It comes in packets measured to
  the correct dosage for your child.
• Word of caution
• Iron supplements can cause certain side effects
  like digestive issues, upset stomach, stool
  changes, and constipation. Although they are
  absorbed better if theyre taken on an empty
  stomach before a meal, taking it after a meal may
  be beneficial if your child experiences any
  negative side effects.
