Bruce Al Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Any of youz fullas ever taken this supplement? Is it easy available in nz? I heard on one of Joe Rogans pod casts that if you take it after a night of xs drinking that it stops a hangover. Kinda sounds like balls to me.

Pseudonym Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Haven't tried it, but Examine.com doesn't think much of it: http://examine.com/supplements/Glutathione/ Quote Despite the molecule being one of utmost importance, supplementation of it doesn't have any unique benefits. It is digested to its component amino acids, and while it could potentially increase glutathione in the body secondary to providing L-cysteine (in superdoses) this is just an indirect and expensive way to do the exact same stuff N-Acetylcysteine supplementation would do as NAC more efficaciously increases glutathione. The additional dietary glutamic acid and Glycine that glutathione would provide would still be in too small doses to do anything appreciable. It wouldn't be unreasonable to conclude that anything glutathione supplemenation could do, that NAC would do better and cheaper. eLm0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
