GLUTATHIONE

[Guest guest]

JoAnn..i use a ulta whey formula that has glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine

among the other amino acids. Does this mean that I am also getting glutathione

since it is a composite of these 3 elements.

 

Thanks, Ken

Hi! 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. "

thank you JoAnn... Last Q... the supplement contain glutamic acid.. I presume

this is the same as glutamine. It is supposed to be very high quality whey..

--- 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. "

Best Regards, JoAnn
