The Science Behind Thione's Health-Restoring Products

The example of an apple, which becomes quickly discolored after it is cut open, is a good way to understand the normal process our body's cells undergo during metabolism.

Normal cell metabolism produces toxic substances within our bodies called Free Radicals. Daily stress, exposure to tobacco smoke and other pollutants, drinking, lack of rest, and an unhealthy diet, greatly accelerate this oxidation process. These factors create a level of toxic free radicals beyond what our body can fight on its own, making us susceptible to chronic disease and premature aging.

Antioxidants - Our Bodies Natural Defense

Antioxidants are the body's natural combatant against free radicals. Unfortunately, this defense mechanism often fails to provide sufficient protection when lifestyle and environmental factors cause the increased production of free radicals, and the depletion of critical compounds used by our body's antioxidant defenses. Simply put, our systems need help in rebuilding these life-giving agents that neutralize harmful toxins.

Free Radicals - Rust Never Sleeps

This process of cell metabolism occurs when our cells burn energy. As an end result, toxic substances called Free Radicals are produced and circulate throughout our bodies. These toxic Free Radicals are what causes our body to actually oxidize or "rust", much like the apple turns brown, which is also a process of oxidation. They affect cell membranes and other metabolic processes and are the direct cause premature aging, immune disorders, and over 50 chronic diseases including heart disease and cancer.

Your Body's Natural Defense

The human body has built-in antioxidant mechanisms to absorb and neutralize Free Radicals. But these defensive mechanisms are inadequate to provide sufficient protection to the body due to an overabundance of toxic Free Radicals caused by stress, exposure to tobacco smoke and other pollutants, drinking, lack of rest, overexposure to sunlight, and an unhealthy diet. When this occurs, we need to secure reinforcements in order to restore the body's ability to fight disease and stay healthy.

Antioxidant Science Made Easy

Chemically toxicFree Radicals are very unstable due to the fact that they contain "unpaired electrons". They attract electrons from other substances to find a balance, which cause harmful chain reactions and our cells to oxidize or "rust". This in turn leads to greatly increased susceptibility to chronic diseases and premature aging.

Antioxidants, which naturally occur within our body, scavenge and neutralize Free Radicals to a less toxic or non-toxic compound. However, an overabundance of Free Radicals or the decrease of antioxidant protectants in the body can lead to this natural defense mechanism breaking down. When this occurs, we need help to restore the system's ability to fight disease and stay healthy.

Dr. Hersh's Amazing Discovery - The Thione Complex™

Thione's founder and driving force, Dr. Theodore Hersh discovered in his medical research at Emory University that the antioxidant know as L-glutathione acts as the "commander in chief" and regulates the function of all other antioxidants. Replenishing the body of L-glutathione helps rebuild our restorative powers it needs to stay youthful and healthy. But what was more important, Dr. Hersh learned that L-glutathione's effects are dramatically increased when combined in specific ratios with other antioxidants such as selenium and vitamin C & vitamin E. This discovery led Dr. Hersh to develop the Thione Antioxidant Complex™. Today, the Thione Complex™ is the centerpiece of all Thione fine products.
