Searching through a host of references has failed to bring up any supplement listed as L-glutathione. I would be interested in seeing the reference for this. This may be confused with L-glutamine? L-glutamine (from glutamic acid) is just one of the components in glutathione. " Glutathione is a small protein composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 --- Hi Ken, Glutamine helps boost blood levels of glutathione. Digestive juices break down supplemental glutathione into other substances. In fact, taking the amino acid supplement glutamine is apt to boost your blood levels of glutathione much better than taking glutathione directly. We just need to make sure that we take it with vitamin C and selenium. The body will utilize large amounts of selenium to make the protective enzyme glutathione peroxidase in times of oxidative stress and toxic exposure, so it is good to keep our selenium levels high as well. Another bit of information I found quite interesting--— The L form of any nutrient, such as L-carnitine and acetyl-L- carnitine, are the most biological forms of all, and are the only forms found in foods and synthesized within our bodies. Both the L and D forms are produced. Although supplements generally contain the L forms, be sure to avoid ones containing the D form, since they may actually inhibit the action of the metabolic process. Douglas Wilmore, M.D., a professor at Harvard medical school has researched glutamine, (the amino acid that boosts glutathione levels) and says, " It's an awesome anti-aging agent, essential for anyone who is ill or under stress. " It strengthens immunity, hastens recovery and actually rejuvenates muscles weakened by wasting illnesses.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 The issue may not be the glutathione but the amino acid deficit. I have said many times on this list and others that with a lack of protein digestion the amino acids are NOT going to be there. The GEM Test from Look For Health does 2 chymotrypsin samples as well as antigens and yeast culture. The test will show early signs of GI dysfunction even as early as day 3 of life or or anytime after. PLease look at www.LookForHealth.com If you have any questions please email me privately if you wish. I did it for my kids and it helped them tremendously!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 There is a company who has made an oral Glutathione that works called Lipceutical Glutathione, or you can order it as a nebulizer, or I.V.

I missed the first part of the thread, but if you've been discussing cold-processed whey as a gluathione precursor and protein source, part of its elegance is that the whey components that mammals have in common (a good portion of the whey) are assimilated with very little digestion via a pathway that rarely fails. Using whey, the amino acids are going to be there except for that rare occurrence.Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
