Research has examined glutathione and its precursor N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and found clinical benefit in treating peripheral artery disease 2 , Parkinsons disease 3 , fatty liver 4 , coronary reperfusion injury 5 , bipolar disorder 6-7 obsessive compulsive disorder 8 , schizophrenia 6,9,10 , addiction treatment 11-12 , autism 13 and flu prevention 14
2.3 Blood collection and neurological examinations Blood samples were collected from both groups before starting NAC and standard stroke treatment and 24 h after receiving the drug to measure the parameters including catalase, paraoxonase, MDA, neopterin, TAC, and TOC

Strategies for increasing glutathione include: Consume sulfur-rich foods like cruciferous vegetables Ensure you get adequate and quality sleep Supplements including: alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C, and NAC Use turmeric in your cooking or take it as a supplement These are helpful strategies to enhance glutathione, combat oxidative stress, and, in my opinion, protect the brain
Peptide drugs, on the other hand, are manufactured to last longer in the body to create a therapeutic response, such as controlling appetite or promoting the growth of new blood vessels, bone density or muscle
