Research progress of glutathione peroxidase family (GPX) in redoxidation
Sealed, single-use equipment and strict hygiene are non-negotiable
Additional supportive measures include maintaining adequate hydration (64-80oz daily), consuming sufficient protein (0.8-1g per pound of lean body mass), protecting skin from UV damage, and avoiding smoking entirely
A subsequent larger RCT (n=72) confirmed these findings, showing improvements in gait speed, grip strength, exercise capacity, waist circumference, and systolic blood pressure (Kumar et al., J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2023) [21]
Here are some other ways to help increase levels of glutathione, along with taking care to optimize vitamin D: limit alcohol consumption decrease exposure to POPs increase intake of other antioxidants to decrease overall oxidative stress increase intake of nutrients that promote glutathione production, such as NAC (N-acetylcysteine), 1000 mg/day, whey, or SAMe get enough magnesium and selenium in the diet, as both are necessary for glutathione production foods such as almonds, cruciferous vegetables, and even alcohol-free beer have been shown to raise glutathione levels, as has meditation
