Newsletter, 7/30/03 - "When healthy
subjects were given a single dose of up to 3,000 mg of glutathione
researchers found there was no increase in blood glutathione levels.11 ...
In contrast, blood glutathione levels rose nearly 50% in healthy individuals
taking 500 mg of vitamin C.12 Vitamin C raises glutathione by helping the
body manufacture it. In addition, to vitamin C, dietary sources of
glutathione and several other nutritional compounds can help increase
glutathione levels including N-acetylcysteine
(NAC), alpha-lipoic acid, glutamine,
methionine,
and whey protein. Also, vitamin B6, riboflavin, and selenium are required in
the manufacture of glutathione"

The amount of inflammation was significantly reduced after the mice drank
the antioxidant-spiked water"

SILIPHOS™: Nature's Potent Liver Remedy - Dr. Murray -
"One of the key manners in which silymarin
enhances detoxification reaction is preventing the depletion of glutathione.
As discussed above, the level of glutathione in the liver is critically
linked to the liver's ability to detoxify. The higher the glutathione
content, the greater the liver's capacity to detoxify harmful chemicals.
Typically, when we are exposed to chemicals which can damage the liver
including alcohol, the concentration of glutathione in the liver is
substantially reduced. This reduction in glutathione makes the liver cell
susceptible to damage. Silymarin not only prevents the depletion of
glutathione induced by alcohol and other toxic chemicals, but has been shown
to increase the level of glutathione of the liver by up to 35%. Since the
ability of the liver to detoxify is largely related to the level of
glutathione in the liver, the results of this study seem to indicate that
silymarin can increase detoxification reactions by up to 35%"
