Glutathione is labelled the “master antioxidant”  for its unique ability to “recycle” other antioxidants such as vitamins C, A and E, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, Beta-Carotene and CoQ10 (Enzymes),  so they can be reused by your body. It follows that by increasing your GSH levels, you are effectively increasing many of your other antioxidants as well. (2

  Detoxification is   challenged by the fact that nearly half of us may be missing one or more of the genes necessary to manufacture GSH. What happens when we don’t have enough GSH?

 

 

Other nutritional compounds play important roles in glutathione synthesis—your body can’t make GSH without them:

  • Vitamin C: Vitamin C is glutathione’s number one “crime-fighting cohort,” working with GSH to purge water-soluble toxins from your body. Vitamin C raises glutathione levels by helping your body manufacture it, and glutathione helps recycle vitamin C.
  • Vitamin D (plus zinc)Vitamin D appears to increase glutathione production. In a rat study, GSH levels tripled when the rats were given vitamin D. However, the zinc-deficient rats did not make as much GSH as rats with adequate zinc. (21)
  • Sulfur: Sulfur is a key compound in GSH, which is why cruciferous vegetables are so beneficial. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) can be used for additional sulfur. In animal studies, MSM is shown to promote glutathione synthesis and upregulate the activity of glutathione enzymes.
  • B vitamins: Vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 are required for synthesis of glutathione. Folate (B9) is able to divert cysteine preferentially towards glutathione and away from homocysteine.
  • Selenium and Magnesium: Along with vitamin E, selenium is required for your body to manufacture GSH. The best source of selenium is Brazil nuts, and you only need two or three per day. Magnesium is also required for glutathione synthesis.
  • Alpha lipoic acid (ALA): ALA is important for recycling GSH and restoring its levels after depletion. Food sources of ALA include organ meats and spinach, although the human body has difficulty extracting it from foods, so the majority must be produced.
  • Green tea, fish oil, and resveratrol: These substances have been found to switch on the genes responsible for glutathione synthesis.
  • Milk thistle: A source of silymarin, milk thistle stimulates the growth and regeneration of liver cells by helping prevent glutathione depletion in the liver.

 

superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and catalases.

 

 

 

 

 

I was   curious what are all the    antioxidants your body has? I saw this https://en.wikipedia...ant#Metabolites how many antioxidants are there? Are these 7 ones on the wiki page the main ones?

also what is glyoxalase and how do I increase it?
