Thread: Get What Your Cells Need!!

Sorry to burst your bubble but technically the metabolic precursor to glutathione (GSH) is what may work to boost immunity not in an outside synthetic form of a supplement. From the biochemical standpoint glutathione cannot be utilized to a clinical beneficial amount once it has been hydrolyzed in the GI tract. So basically as soon as you orally administer it you render it more or less neutral, and taking more to combat this does nothing. However, GSH is in literally every cell in the body (that I can recall) and certainly is a good thing to have and does elicit immune responses but not always directly. To increase the circulating GSH you need to have your body make it itself from those precursors. The easiest precursor is simple whey protein, or a cysteine rich pharmaceutical (I cannot recall an FDA approved OTC natural remedy).
