The Simply Guide: Glutathione
Also known as the master antioxidant, glutathione is a potent peptide best known for its ability to support the liver and protect the body from toxins (especially environmental toxins). It also supports the immune system through T-cell function and can even aid in stabilizing blood sugar.
Lymphocytes (T-cells) are white blood cells that actively participate in our immune response. T-cells are responsible for detecting and destroying infected cells within our body. Therefore, protecting and supporting T-cells is a crucial way to protect our body from sickness and keep our immune system strong. Adequate levels of Glutathione help you stay healthy, prevent aging, heart disease, cancer, dementia, and more!
10 Benefits of Glutathione:
Detoxification: Glutathione helps the liver break down and eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals from the body.
Antioxidant and Cellular Protection: Glutathione neutralizes harmful free radicals and reduces oxidative stress. This protects cells from damage that can lead to aging, inflammation, and chronic disease.
Skin Health: Glutathione promotes brighter, healthier-looking skin by reducing melanin production and combating oxidative stress, which can lead to hyperpigmentation and dullness.
Immune System Support: Strengthens the immune system by supporting white blood cell function (through T-cells), enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections and illnesses.
Enhances Athletic Performance and Recovery: Glutathione reduces muscle fatigue and promotes faster recovery by minimizing oxidative stress and lactic acid buildup.
Energy Production: Glutathione supports mitochondrial function, which is essential for energy production at the cellular level, helping to combat fatigue and promote vitality.
Heart Health: Glutathione helps maintain cardiovascular health by reducing oxidative damage to blood vessels and supporting proper lipid metabolism.
Anti-aging: Glutathione assists in DNA repair and the regeneration of other antioxidants (like Vitamin C and E), enhancing overall cellular function and longevity.
Improved Brain Health: Protects brain cells from oxidative damage, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Anti-inflammatory: Glutathione reduces inflammation by regulating immune responses and neutralizing harmful free radicals that can trigger chronic inflammation.
5 Foods That Boost Glutathione Production:
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc.)
Allium Vegetables (garlic, onions, shallots, etc.)
Whey Protein
Brazil nuts
Avocados
Supplements to Help Boost Glutathione: Liposomal Glutathione, NAC, Selenium, Glycine, ALA, Vitamin C, Milk Thistle
Conditions Associated with Low Glutathione:
Diabetes: low glutathione levels contribute to increased oxidative stress, which exacerbates complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular issues.
Cardiovascular disease: Reduced glutathione can lead to increased oxidative damage to blood vessels, contributing to atherosclerosis and hypertension (raising the risk for heart attacks and strokes).
Neurodegenerative Disease: low glutathione levels in the brain are linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, neuronal death, accelerated cognitive decline, and neuroinflammation. This can lead to conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Autoimmune Diseases: low glutathione levels are associated with increased inflammation and joint damage as well as an impaired ability to regulate inflammation as seen in diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus.
Respiratory Disorders: low glutathione levels exacerbate lung damage from oxidative stress and inflammation, which is seen in conditions like Asthma and COPD.
Cancer: Low glutathione levels are linked to DNA damage and impaired detoxification, increasing the risk of certain cancers.
Glutathione is a key player in maintaining our overall health and vitality. This mighty antioxidant helps protect our cells, supports energy production, and keeps inflammation in check. By ensuring we have enough glutathione through a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle choices, we can boost our body's natural defenses and promote long-term well-being.
4 Simple Ways to Attain Healthy Glutathione Levels Naturally:
Eat a diet filled with sulfur-rich foods (cruciferous vegetables, onions, garlic, etc.)
Avoid environmental toxins as much as possible (skincare, cookware, makeup, clean indoor air, etc.)
Avoid overuse or abuse of alcohol and medications (like Tylenol)
Coffee enemas can increase glutathione by 600-700%! (Check out our blog on coffee enemas here)
