GSH is a cofactor for dozens of enzymes involved in detoxification.* As an antioxidant, it directly quenches several reactive oxygen species (free radicals).* Numerous structures and functions in the body receive benefit from maintaining normal levels of glutathione, such as hepatic support, pulmonary health, immune function, bowel health, carbohydrate metabolism, cardiovascular health, cognitive health, and eye health.* The liver is the largest reservoir for glutathione in the body
Your daily food choices can naturally boost your glutathione production: Sulfur-rich foods : Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale) and allium plants (garlic, onions, leeks) contain compounds that support glutathione synthesis Selenium sources : Brazil nuts, brown rice, and mushrooms provide this essential cofactor for glutathione peroxidase activity High-cysteine proteins : Whey protein particularly excels at raising glutathione levels more effectively than other protein sources Precursors like NAC, selenium, and vitamin C We find that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is perhaps the most effective glutathione booster for many of our patients
