It is a laboratory-directed neuroendocrine approach that evaluates pituitary hormones, neurosteroid precursors, metabolic health and inflammatory burden after concussion, blast exposure or repetitive head impacts
They concluded that low glutathione levels are linked to not only less fat burning, but also higher rates of fat storing
Nutrient Deficiencies (Building Blocks Missing) Glutathione synthesis requires specific nutrients: Cysteine : From dietary protein (whey, eggs, poultry)-rate-limiting Glycine : Often deficient in modern diets (need 10-15g/day, most get 3-5g) Selenium : Cofactor for glutathione peroxidase (GPx) , the enzyme that recycles GSSG back to GSH B vitamins (B6, B9, B12): Required for methylation and sulfur metabolism Vitamin C : Recycles oxidized glutathione Deficiency in any of these impairs glutathione production or recycling [5]
As we get older we make less glutathione
Access to injectable glutathione is strictly regulated and should always involve a licensed healthcare provider
