Glutathione is one of your body's most important antioxidant and detoxification molecules.

Unfortunately, many people actually have a deficiency in glutathione.

We're going to talk about ways to simply assess and measure potentially your need for glutathione

support.

And the conditions that are linked with glutathione insufficiency such as mitochondrial

function, accelerated aging, and increased markers of oxidative stress that are linked

with all sorts of conditions that are common, unfortunately, like prediabetes, diabetes,

heart disease, even certain forms of cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions are characterized

by insufficient glutathione levels.

Now many people are supplementing with direct glutathione.

Now that might not be optimal because your body's balance of oxidative versus redox stress

is actually quite sensitive and specific.

So scientific researchers are actually highlighting the importance of, instead of supplementing

directly with glutathione to help support glutathione levels, you should allow your body and

yourselves to auto-regulate their glutathione synthesis by providing the two rate limiting

amino acids for glutathione production.

That is, enacetylcystine and glycine.

I think a lot of people forget about glycine, but if you look here, you can see how the

glutathione tripeptide is comprised of glutamine, which is widely abundant in your body, in your

diet, and so forth.

What is not so abundant is actually cystine, and that's why people supplement with enacetylcystine

as well as glycine.
