Organic Germanium-132 is an oxygen-rich form of germanium which has been studied for its antiviral, immunostimulative, and supportive capabilities of oxygen utilization. As stated earlier, GE-132 is found in all plants and animals; however it is found in higher concentrations in healthy foods such as garlic, aloe, watercress, ginseng, chlorella, waternut, and Reishi mushroom. The average daily intake of GE-132 is normally between .5 to 3 mg/day. Germanium was first produced in 1967 by Kazuhiko Asaia, a Japanese scientist. Since 1948 however, inorganic forms of industrial-grade germanium have been used comercially, but these forms are potentially toxic and are not sold as nutritional supplements. Vitamin Planet only sells 100% pure Organic GE-132. Antioxidant Antioxidant protection is crucial in controlling inflammation, allergic reactions, and oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which otherwise may escalate out of control. It also helps in reducing and disposal of waste products in the body. GE-132 also raises the level of reduced glutathione, a free-radical scavenger, thereby providing more protection against free-radicals produced in the body. Immune System Support GE-132 helps boost the body's immune system through the production of interferon, which is linked with the activation of T-suppresor cells (the body's "bad cell" fighters). Interferon also inhibits uncontrolled growth in carcinogenic activity while supporting the immune system. Studies on both humans and animals have shown significant positive results confirming these finds. Protects Bone Density Studies show that GE-132 may have a positive effect on preventing bone density loss. In a twelve-month clinical study, elderly people who took GE-132 had significantly increased levels of bone mass, while bone mass continued to decrease in control groups who did not take germanium. Safety and Toxicity: Organic Germanium-132 has been found safe and non-toxic even at high dosages. There are no reports of GE-132 being carcinogenic, nor being birth-defect causing. Suggested use is normally 100-200 mg/day. References: Information is SUMMARIZED by Vitamin Planet from Literature provided by Optimal Nutrients. Do not Copy! © |
