Understanding the Master Antioxidant Glutathione is a tripeptide made of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamate
This interference with PKC disrupts various cellular processes, including phospholipid and protein synthesis, enzyme activities, DNA synthesis, protein phosphorylation, cell differentiation, and gene expression
Our own laboratorys study of 8 people given a supplement containing lipoid acid and N-acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) supplements, the precursor for glutathione, show improvement in both the Glutathione Index and Glutazthione
Together, these two compounds help clear the metabolic bottlenecks that drive the profound, cellular-level fatigue experienced by patients with complex chronic illnesses
It also works with folate to produce S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which is important for mood regulation and other functions
