• Studies have shown glutathione provides the body vital cellular support and protection.
  
  
• Recently, schisandra berry was studied to determine if it had a role to play in effecting glutathione levels within cell mitochondria, the body's 'energy factories'.
  
  
• Up until recently, virtually all methods used to increase glutathione levels had been aimed at raising the overall levels in the body, yet few had any success in directly raising the vital glutathione levels within cell mitochondria themselves.
  
  
• The study showed schizandra berry did increase glutathione levels inside the cell mitochondria.
  
  
• While additional studies are required to further understand how schizandra works to enhance glutathione levels within cell mitochondria, the fact that it did display this ability opens up a potential human health role unparalelled in its 3000+ year history.
