Glutathione

Glutathione is the “master antioxidant” - not only does it protect and repair DNA on its own, but it also helps regulate other antioxidants in the body such as vitamin C and E.


High levels of glutathione control oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, particularly in the case of radiation exposure.  


Glutathione can be boosted naturally by consuming foods that contain the precursors glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine - the best sources of these amino acids are a 100% grass-fed natural whey protein or a high-quality pea protein. 


NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) and ALA (alpha lipoic acid} supplementation also raise glutathione levels.  


It is also important to include flavonoid rich foods and adequate magnesium in thee diet.
