Glutathione is a crucial antioxidant produced naturally in your body, made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It plays vital roles in protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals, supporting the immune system, and facilitating detoxification in the liver.
Glutathione is often called the "master antioxidant" due to its extensive involvement in bodily processes. Glutathione neutralizes free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which helps to reduce oxidative stress and the risk of cell damage. It is essential for the liver's two-phase detoxification process, binding to toxins, pollutants, and heavy metals to convert them into less harmful, water-soluble forms that can be excreted from the body. It helps modulate the immune system by supporting the function of various immune cells, such as T-cells and natural killer cells.
Cellular Health and Aging: Adequate levels of glutathione are associated with healthier cells and mitochondria (the cell's energy powerhouses). Their levels naturally decline with age, and maintaining them may help slow some aspects of the aging process, such as reducing skin wrinkles and improving elasticity.
Studies suggest potential benefits in managing conditions like nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, improving insulin resistance, and increasing mobility in people with peripheral artery disease.
Consuming foods rich in sulfur and the necessary amino acid precursors can help your body naturally maintain its glutathione supply. Allium vegetables like garlic, onions, and shallots, as well as cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale. Foods with natural glutathione content include avocados, asparagus, spinach, and okra; however, dietary glutathione is poorly absorbed by the body. Foods rich in selenium (fish, chicken, Brazil nuts) and vitamin C (citrus fruits, strawberries) can support the activity and regeneration of glutathione.
Glutathione supplements are available in various forms, including oral capsules, liquids, topical applications, and intravenous (IV) administration. While some studies show benefits with specific formulations like liposomal or Setria® glutathione, standard oral glutathione is generally considered to have poor bioavailability and may not significantly increase cellular levels.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC): This is a precursor that the body can use to produce cysteine, the rate-limiting amino acid for glutathione synthesis, making it an effective way to boost levels. Supplements are generally safe for short-term use in moderate doses. Possible side effects may include abdominal cramps, bloating, or allergic reactions. Inhaled forms may cause breathing difficulties. IV administration carries higher risks, including anaphylaxis and liver dysfunction, and should only be done under medical supervision.
