Longevity ⇒ Glutathione

[Newage]

Sulforaphane has been shown to increase Glutathione, if indirectly. What are the thoughts on taking this vs an actual Glutathione supplement? Bioavailability issue is solved if you are eating broccoli sprouts and at a high level, eating real food is always better than an isolated supplement. 

 

Agreed. Whole foods are always a better option but unfortunately in most cases the active ingredients sort are in negligible quantities. Personally I am happy to boost intake with supplements. In some cases the RDI  is at the lower percentage  level for what is needed for optimal health.

My Lipo Glutathione is still in transit. I’m looking forward to starting on it as soon as it arrives drkris69..

I see where it can address tissue damage in the liver due to toxins. There are also suggestions that it can play a role with the kidneys.

at the very least, low levels of is not good for either of these organs.

Interesting, so does anyone know what would be a good daily dose for Glutathione? Im taking 2 capsules daily.

I'd suppose if you have actual organ damage that 2 capsules per day would be recommended. Otherwise, maybe 3-5 per week.

ABS has a graph showig outcomes for 500mg to 1g per day.

I am thinking 1 capsule a day to start. The outcomes between 500mg to 1g per day were very similar. Thinking less is more in this instance, so sticking to ABS recommendation of 1 capsule per day (so 130mg, "concentrated" and lipsomal) until we get better science. Depending how I feel though, I may experiment with 2 per day but will wait a month or 2 so I have a good baseline.

 I take it for its anti aging, heart health and antioxidant properties. I take this along with hyaluronic acid and phytocerimides. My skin feels amazing. It also keeps me regular too.
