The problem with eating glutathione is that it is broken down in the intestine and absorbed like any other protein. What little does make it into the bloodstream absolutely does not get past the cell walls to make GSH in the cells where you want it. GSH should be present within the cells to recycle antioxidants C, E, pycnogenol, ALA and the oxidant peroxide. Also to recycle NADPH for energy.
Eating NAC works but it's really only useful in emergency situations. Be aware that there is a paragraph of side effects even at low doses, and it has a half-life of only two hours. Take NAC every four hours. Again, glutathione must be created within each cell. Supplemental GSH does not get into the cells. Save your money for something that works. What you need is an undenatured whey isolate like Immunocal. If another undenatured isolate is chosen, if it works, you'll need to approxiamtely double the dose because a couple of proteins in it don't make much or any glutathione. If you were to use a concentrate you'd have to at least triple or quad the dose to achieve the same effect. And that's IF the made from unpasteurized milk, and was handled to preserve all available proteins. That's a big If. Remember that Immunotec sells waste undenatured protein to other companies that can correctly say they have undenatured whey protein, although what they have bought is stripped of its glutathione precursors.
