The coronavirus has brought on unprecedented challenges not only in India but across the world. There is a layer of gloom that has spread across humanity. Loss of jobs, economic slowdown, health crisis of the near & dear ones and an overall sense of insecurity. But at some point of time, the human race decided that it would be saner to perhaps live with the virus. Phased unlocking has commenced and some states in India have completely opened up while there are others that are still reeling under the rising number of cases.

While we are forced to shift and re-assess priorities, India is in a unique position. We are bang in to the middle of the festive season. A season of positivity, festivity, fun and feasts. 2020 may be not be a conducive year but let it not be a dampner on how you want to feel. You will enjoy, albeit cautiously and as you step out while maintaining social distancing and would want to look your best, you will have to make doubly sure that there is not a single slip when you let your hair down. It is indeed going to be difficult but if you have replenished yourself with the goodness of Glutathione and Vitamin C, then surely you can breathe easy.

Glutathione for inner glow:

Glutathione’s anti-oxidant properties is combined with antimelanogenic properties. It not only decreases pigmentation in your skin but has also found to decrease unwarranted wrinkles and increases skin elasticity. It arrests skin pigmentation production by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in making melanin. Glutathione is extremely effective in treating psoriasis and many other skin infections. Also, Glutathione is great at fighting chronic inflammation thereby reinforcing its skin rejuvenating benefits.

Glutathione is made out of three different amino acids. It prevents early cell damage, keeps the body’s mitochondria healthy thereby keeping us energised and full of stamina. Glutathione has been used as a prime ingredient in skin care from time immemorial. It works actively and because of its powerful antioxidant effects it effectively reduces dark spots and other skin anomalies that could be dues to pollution, stress and/or ageing process. Thereby brightening the overall complexion of skin. So for a holistic skin health, Glutathione is your best bet, as it develops an inner system that helps in makes your skin glow from within

The Immunity strengthening quality of the master oxidant – Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant naturally found in human cells. But with our urban lifestyles and our ageing process, it starts depleting causing many kind of diseases. The function of Glutathione is to neutralize free radicals (molecules that can damage body’s cells), boosts the immune system and detoxifies the body. Glutathione’s antioxidative properties keeps inflammation in lungs under check and especially helpful in keeping lung function during a viral infection.

The contribution of glutathione in our bodily functions cannot be de-emphasized. Glutathione not only strengthens immunity but also equips our body to fight serious infections. According to a research, the active glutathione primes white cells such as natural killer (NK) and T cells, the body’s front-line infection fighters. GSH enhanced T cells are able to produce more infection-fighting substances, controlling both bacterial and viral infections. Several chronic infections such as EBV, hepatitis, herpes viruses and Lyme can deregulate and suppress the immune system. Glutathione can harmonize and reverse this suppression.

Healthy levels of glutathione possess several potential health benefits. These health benefits extensively related to glutathione’s contribution to crucial bodily processes like Gene expression, Cysteine storage, protein functions and cell differentiation. However, the most powerful function that glutathione offers our system are its vital antioxidant properties. Glutathione helps our body fight free radicals, caused when harmful infections are seeking entry into our body.

The goodness of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin and it holds the front-line position in immunity boosting. For example, Vitamin C is present at 100 times higher concentration inside immune cells than that in blood and while these cells fight an infection, concentrations go still higher This effective antioxidant serves not only to neutralize the free radical burst but also improves motility of immune cells. It also keeps the inflammation under check and helps to improve the signaling between cells making the immune system more effective. As immunity fights pathogens, Vitamin C levels deplete rapidly leading to an aberration in response.

Diet is the most natural way to boost glutathione levels, however there are a variety of glutathione supplements which are available in the market. Its immunity boosting, detoxing and skin health abilities can get amplified when it is combined with Phylanthus embillica (commonly known as gooseberry or “amla”) extract, providing natural Vitamin C to the users. We have splurged all this while on numerous beauty products that are just skin deep.

With consumerism at its peak, beauty has been calibrated only by concealers, skin lightening, anti-aging creams and what have you. But the solution is not addressing just the problem; it’s confronting the root of the problem. So this festive season, lets resolve to usher in the new world order with a more conscious living – from validation to self-care and beauty with immunity!

This time the usual exuberance around the Doctor’s Day celebration is missing because healthcare workers across the globe are busy fighting an invisible enemy. Immediately after the Janta curfew in late March, COVID cases started popping out of nowhere. The observance of National Doctor’s Day is the best time to appreciate the role of Doctors for caring and saving the life of people. The importance of doctors have more significance this year due to their contribution in fighting against COVID-19 pandemic.

Management team, Medeor hospital, Delhi NCR says ” In this difficult time of global pandemic, our team doctors have come together to render an unsolicited support for treating Covid-19 patients.  Every day they gear up to fight this pandemic, with the huge risk of getting infected themselves, endangering their families and loved ones too. The dedication of every doctor fighting this virus is equal to that of a soldier standing at the border to save lives of every Indian citizen from the enemies”.

Dr. Hardik Ajmera- Deputy Medical Director, Saifee Hospital Mumbai says ” We had to rise to the occasion and create a COVID patient facility within our premises. This involved redesigning and restructuring the entire hospital which was not equipped to handle contagious disease of this magnitude. We are proud to see an overwhelming number of doctors and paramedics volunteering to work in COVID areas contrary to our belief. Not that, they are not afraid, but they want to overcome their fears to serve humanity. COVID team members include those with toddlers, or elders at home but this does not deter from responding to the call of their duty. And what motivates them to continue is the smile on their face, when a ventilated patient manages to go home.  On this doctor’s day, we hope and pray, this pandemic recedes soon so that we can celebrate the next doctor’s day with the usual fanfare.”

Saluting the doctors Mr. Chintan Gandhi – Director & CEO, Millennium Herbal Care says- I am personally glad that this day, is now mainstream. We are paying a huge price for it, but definitely all our COVID warriors, the healthcare professionals, and the medical staff need to be applauded for the commendable work they are doing in battling this invisible enemy. On this day, I would also like to remember the doctors of ancient India, who gave us the science to be resilient and strengthen our immunity, a science, which is mostly our contribution to the world with Ayurveda – the science of longevity; Yoga – the science of holistic health; Siddha – the science of natural ingredients and much more. In fact, the Ayurveda system of medicines, using herbs and other herbal components to cure ailments, has become the foundation on which the modern science of phytomedicines has been laid. He further added, On this day, I would personally like all of us Indians to remember this and be proud of our specific contribution towards the science of immunity which could be a boon to mankind, if understood and practiced more mainstream than before.

According to Dr Anish Desai Strategic Medical Affair- Adroit Biomed Pvt Ltd. “Medical professionals are working tirelessly in the service of humanity with the above principles in their mind. The perseverance of medical professionals in the current pandemic of COVID 19, whether as frontline warriors or as researchers discovering new medicines and vaccines is evident. The patient is always at the centre of what we do and our endeavour is to achieve superior clinical outcomes. Finally, prevention is better than cure, therefore mask, hand hygiene & social distancing is the new normal and this is something that as doctors we insist so that you keep yourself protected.”

• Glutathione: Known as the body’s Master Antioxidant, Glutathione mimics body’s own indigenous antioxidant properties. It is present in every cell of our body and, and is responsible for various functions, including boosting stamina, reducing stress and maintaining an optimum level of antioxidant in the body reserves. Glutathione levels are often impacted due to stress, aging process, alcohol consumption, and smoking, sleep deprivation, and other lifestyle associated factors. This can reflect in a dull and tired skin, puffiness, and lack of glow. New innovations that have leveraged bio-engineering to harness Glutathione are helping to create a sustainable, healthy, and holistic approach to overall wellbeing, resulting in a beautiful and healthy appearance. Ingesting Glutathione as a nutraceutical also directly helps in flushing out toxins and promoting a lighter, glowing skin that is radiant and healthy from within.
• Ceramosides: Dryness is a very common skin condition. A well hydrated skin, which is actually supposed to be a result of nutritious diet, adequate water intake and a balanced lifestyle, is today mostly achieved only through the superficial application of moisturising creams and lotions. Skin dryness can lead to not only loss of elasticity and radiance but also contributes to aging and may lead to conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis. Ceramosides, a globally acclaimed wheat derived neutraceutical ingredient can help boost skin’s hydration level and it also improves radiance and glow. Innovations such as these are leading to creation of nutraceuticals, in the form of oral moisturisers, would help fix these problems intrinsically, allowing for a holistic wellbeing.
• Vitamin C infused nutraceuticals: The revered lifestyle antioxidant and skin rejuvenating properties of Vitamin C are well known. Your skin is always busy fighting with the enormous quantities of free radicals produced by virtue of biological reactions and critically because of external insults such as UV radiations, pollution, and chemicals. This free radical overload (FRO) interferes in the cellular metabolism as well as leads to collagen degradation and melanin over production. Balancing this FRO is important to ensure health of the skin and also to prevent the loss of collagen. A nutraceutical rich in Vitamin C helps protect  natural beauty by reducing melanin pigment, increasing production and transfer of anti-ageing protein, exerts photo-protective effects by neutralising free radicals and helps boost collagen.

Apart from wellness and beauty, nutraceuticals have also been found to address issues related to certain skin conditions, like acne and fungal infections, which are currently treated using strong anti-acne or anti-fungal treatments with antibiotics. With the increasing challenges of antibiotic resistance and the strong side-effects, has led to the search for alternatives which can actually address the internal problems, instead of just fixing them with antibiotics. Leveraging natural compounds or solutions which tap into the intrinsic intelligence of the body, are slowly emerging as a trusted alternative.

With the advances in bio-wellness and the emphasis on holistic solutions which offer beauty from within, the future trends point towards a more evolved and authentic approach to beauty and health. From the cosmetic approach to skin care and hair, we are steadily moving towards innovative approach which can harness the body’s intrinsic compounds, helping us achieve a state of overall wellbeing. So while you brighten up the party venues with your beautiful positive presence, ensure your body too is rejuvenated and glows with beauty from within, adding to the warmth and joy of your near and dear ones!

Our skin, in particular, is extremely sensitive to internal health issues and often reflects the early signs of internal discord, from hormone imbalance and dehydration to nutrient deficiency or toxin build-up. These factors are vital symptoms that manifest in external appearance and affects overall wellness and beauty. Though a smooth and radiant skin is what everybody wants; getting it may sometimes be a challenge!  From initially selecting topical application options to seeking or experimenting with various options to find the right products, it can be an arduous and sometimes painful journey. The fear of side effects, lengthy courses and unwanted reactions makes the choice even more difficult.

With better advances in biomedical and wellness sciences, there has been a strong push in innovations that can leverage the potential of the compounds that are inherently found in the human body. Thanks to bio-engineering, various holistic wellness products are being created to suite the need of the modern consumers. Glutathione, the body’s Master Antioxidant, is one such compound that mimics body’s own indigenous antioxidant properties. It is present in every cell of our body and, and is responsible for various functions, including boosting stamina, reducing stress and maintaining an optimum level of antioxidant in the body reserves.

Glutathione levels are often impacted due to stress, aging process, alcohol consumption, smoking, sleep deprivation and other lifestyle associated factors. This can reflect in a dull and tired skin, puffiness and lack of glow. New innovations that have leveraged bio-engineering to harness Glutathione are helping create a sustainable, healthy and holistic approach to overall wellbeing, resulting in a beautiful and healthy appearance.Some key benefits of Glutathione supplements, which promote beauty from within, include:

• Increasing body’s levels of glutathione and stimulating natural production
• Stimulates production of lighter melanin pigment, glow and radiance,
• Build stamina and overall immunity,
• Flushes out all toxins

Apart from general health and beauty, intrinsic wellness approach has also led to innovations in areas of skin conditions.

Dehydration is another common skin condition. A well hydrated skin, which is actually supposed to be a result of nutritious diet, adequate water intake and a balanced lifestyle, is today mostly achieved only through the superficial application of creams and lotions. Dehydration of skin can lead to not only loss of elasticity and radiance but also contributes to aging and may lead to conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis. While the hectic 21^st century urban life makes it difficult for many to have a balanced and healthy lifestyle, innovations in bio-wellness are leading to solutions which help fix the problem intrinsically, allowing for a holistic wellbeing.

Acne and skin infections are another areas of concerns that currently involve anti-acne or anti-fungal treatments with antibiotics. With the increasing challenges of antibiotic resistance and the strong side-effects that come with it, has led to the search for alternatives which can actually address the internal problems resulting in the infections, instead of just fixing them with antibiotics. Bio-equivalent compounds or solutions which tap into the intrinsic intelligence of the body, are thus, slowly emerging as a trusted alternative.
