Glutathione deficiency is a common feature that complicates infections. We review new research linking suboptimal glutathione levels with increased disease severity and discuss how glutathione is related to vitamin D status as well as ways to support glutathione levels from a nutrition and lifestyle standpoint.

Thank you for all the valuable information and most of all your passion to educate us so we can stay ahead of the Curve!
Super helpful’ Although I am an omnivore & get outside daily my levels have always been on the low side. Its great to know the supplementing is getting me somewhere good ,I can actually feel it as time goes on. I also like that there is a correlation proven of D & Glutathione levels. . One thing , I believe I’ve heard you on other podcasts say D3 is the best form of D . Is that so?
Thank you !
Very interesting on the GGT test in relation to glutathione, metals and chemical burden, overall oxidative stress, i.e. line items that one would have had to get via more-costly functional medicine tests. If you can actually get a good snapshot or summary in these *interrelated* areas with GGT, then the GGT test is a boon to people at large and their doctors. Physicians could push their go-to labs to include it in common panels and have it be covered by insurance — sounds like a gamechanger in the public health space akin to lipid panels and glucose testing, and you say they’re already teaching it in med school so why the disconnect? More info welcome on this, including reference range used, functional med reference range, and optimal-within-range. ……Also what do you think about MSM as a source of sulphur in relation to glutathione production? …..And any comments on sulphur producing gut bacteria in these connections?
I have been taking my vitamins in the morning. Will try to change to the evening as you say. Always learn something new with your podcasts.
