Fact: While protein provides the amino acid building blocks, factors like age and stress can deplete glutathione faster than your body can rebuild it
Methionine SAM (via MAT) methyl donor formation Homocysteine remethylation methionine (requires B12 ) Transsulfuration (CBS & CGL, needs B6 ) cysteine Cysteine + glutamate + glycine GSH (glutathione synthetase) Nutrient supports: B12, B6, folate for methylation & transsulfuration Sulfur-rich foods (garlic, onion, broccoli) Protein sources (eggs, fish, legumes) for amino acids Glutathione synthesis is the step-by-step process by which the body creates its master antioxidant to support detoxification, immunity, and cellular health
Ferroptosis: a regulated cell death nexus linking metabolism, redox biology, and disease
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, and most ship as lyophilized powder that needs reconstitution before use
