Mark Hyman, MD is a REAL doctor. Real doctors teach us how to be healthy. Dr. Hyman is an inspiration and a person we can trust to help lead us back to health! He certainly is a mentor of mine.

I am also curious about this as I have been taking Protandim for the last 2 months. I have MS & t is one of the many supplements I take that helps me keep feeling good. I'd also like to know if I can get my Glutathione level checked??

@gurumagoo except you don't know that. what our mainstream society does not realize is that our body produces more dopamine-damaging free radicals than we realize. w dopamine, your animal instinct kicks in and you can do anything. are you motivated? do you have the mental drive to achieve the goals you want to achieve? i won't even guess.. in conclusion you don't have the dopamine you're capable of having. none of us do.

All this antioxidant nonsense is just a bunch of hype. You're body produces more natural antioxidants than you could ever eat. These people are all just trying to sell you something. Stop being such idiots.

Has anyone tried DMSO with Glutathione? I'm interested to know.

@WuWeiMama The largest obstacle to increasing natural Glutathione production seems to be unsufficent consumption of the amino acids Cystine/Cysteine as these appear quite scarcely in the foods we eat (I believe mostl richly in unprocessed milk and mother's milk).

While a few of the other precursors do occur regularly in many of the foods you named, they unfortunately do not have an effect in increasing Glutathione if they are lacking in Cysteine, which seems to be the case in most foods.

Here is what I do to get a MASSIVE amount of glutathione:

L -Methionine: not mentioned in the video... methionine is a huge component in building glutathione.

Trimethlyglycine (TMG): This both increases glutathione AND prevents methionine from increasing harmful homocysteine levels.

NAC: Explained in vid.

Glutamine: Explained in vid.

If I take these four on an empty stomach with a B vitamin complex and a small amount of C (under 100mg) I got it made in the shade!

That is BS!

IF You overdose on tylenol or any drug or to cause you to have LIVER FAILURE, then YOU WILL BE TREATED WITH HIGH DOSAGES OF n-acetylcysteine which will BOOST GLUTATHIONE in liver and brain.......go to wikipedia and search n-acetylcysteine to see at least 30 drugs like Mucomyst, Acetadote, Parvolex,etc.. These drugs are NAC in different forms of delivery like IV, Injection, Mist for lung delivery, etc..

NAC for brain problems like addiction,psychosis to Alzheimers
