INSIGHT

Glutathione Basics and Role

  • Glutathione is the most prevalent antioxidant in the human body, made of three amino acids forming a tripeptide.
  • It neutralizes free radicals and plays a major role in phase one and two liver detoxification pathways.
INSIGHT

Methylation and Glutathione Synthesis

  • Impaired methylation affects glutathione synthesis, as it requires amino acids, enzymes, ATP, NAD, and selenium.
  • The body must maintain a delicate balance to produce glutathione efficiently.
ADVICE

Supplementing Glutathione Safely

  • Taking exogenous glutathione does not shut down your body's glutathione production as it is not hormonally regulated.
  • Your body breaks down oral glutathione into amino acids and then rebuilds it as needed.
