Glutathione

[hooper]

Does anyone know about or used this anitoxidant. It has been recommended to me as an important supplement for Hashimotos.

Yes I have, as a detox supplement. It helps the body detox. A very important supplement for that process.

Good heath to you...

I read that taking glutathione directly as a supplement does not reliably increase levels in the body because it is poorly absorbed - there's plenty on the internet about this. Instead I supplement with NAC (n-acetyl cysteine) which is a precursor to glutathione - apparently research has shown that you can increase glutathione levels in this way. Other options are whey powder or SAMe.

Thank you for that Xanthe.

Oh yes! Do your research! It's a complex supplement that isn't easily absorbed.
