INTRODUCTION
Did you ever hear about glutathione? If not, I
would suggest that you know about this powerful
antioxidant. This natural antioxidant protects
against damage and regulates several essential
functions, such as cell proliferation and
apoptosis (death).
3
Although glutathione is needed for many vital
life functions, intracellular glutathione levels
are few ways to measure accurately. Baylor
University College of Medicine researchers
recently developed a fluorescent probe called
RealThiol.

Supporting Glutathione Production
A new study published in the peer-reviewed Redox
Biology journal could provide some answers. An
altered form of the amino acid cysteine used in
supplements appears to be a compound called
N-acetsystem-cysteine (NAC) that may raise the
amount of glutathione.
5
There are hundreds of scientific uses for
N-acetyl cysteine. It is used, among others, as a
therapy for acetaminophen ( Tylenol) and CO2
toxicity, for treating chest pain and blockage of
the bile duct of children, and for amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimers disease.
6
It is a decrease in these detoxification pathways
that could lead, among many others, to
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer.
The study showed how younger animal cells are
much more stress-resistant than older animals.
7
Food Sources of Cysteine
Of course, the next obvious question is, how can
we add NAC safely to our regular scheme? While
NAC is not naturally found in foods, cysteine is
present in most high protein foods, along with
the other ten essential amino acids.
8
The Bottom Line
The results of the study are a welcome
development. In general, glutathione or its
precursors, such as NAC, tend to be very healthy
in acceptable quantities.
