Cystic Fibrosis and Glutathione
In healthy lungs, the epithelial cells create a protective screen of glutathione, to protect against free radical damage by oxidative stress. If this glutathione layer is depleted by chronic infection or inhaled pollutants, inflammation and damage can occur.
Glutathione has a mucolytic action in the lungs, helping to keep the secretions thin. Glutathione has also been shown to protect us against inhaled viruses such as influenza, by blocking the activation of virus particles.
Glutathione Deficiency in Cystic Fibrosis
Glutathione production and secretion by lung cells is impaired in cystic fibrosis.
Scientific studies have shown that depleted glutathione levels lead to a cycle of free radical induced chronic inflammation and infection.
How to Increase Glutathione Levels?
Several research studies have investigated the use of glutathione as a treatment for cystic fibrosis.
These studies have often used glutathione that is nebulised directly into the lungs, which causes a temporary local increase of glutathione levels but can cause bronchospasm.
The great challenge for scientists has been to develop an oral supplement to effectively increase systemic glutathione levels, as glutathione is a fragile molecule that is quickly broken down in the stomach if taken by mouth.

The RiboCeine Solution
Following many years of research, this problem was solved with the development of novel compound RiboCeine.
RiboCeine is a unique fusion of the amino acid cysteine with the simple saccharide ribose. RiboCeine delivers the essential precursor nutrients directly into the cell where they can then be turned into glutathione.
