Recent statistics have good news for us. Centenarians are the fastest growing age group in America. What’s the secret to a long and healthy life? And, what can you do right now to ensure that you will one day take your place in the ranks of vibrant 100 year olds?
The answer can very well be found in the presence of a small but potent molecule made in every cell of your body called Glutathione. While Glutathione may not have the same notoriety as other more high profile nutrients such as vitamin C and E, it certainly is a miracle molecule.

Glutathione levels of 41 centenarians between the ages of 100-105 years old were compared with those people between 60-79 years old. They found that the mean Glutathione activity was significantly higher in centenarians than in the group of younger elderly subjects, and that centenarians with the best functional capacity tended to have the highest Glutathione activity.
The study concluded that high Glutathione levels are associated with increased survival.
In a later study, Glutathione levels were evaluated in 87 women in excellent physical and mental health, ranging in age from 60 to 103. The scientists found that all women had very high blood Glutathione levels. They followed these women for five years, and concluded “high blood Glutathione concentrations … are characteristic of long-lived women.”
