Recent studies in human subjects show that sulforaphane elevates glutathione levels and those of other brain metabolites (56)
Nonpolar solvents are also suitable for dissolving alkaloidal bases and fatty acids
Thus the glutathione pathway is poised to contribute glutamate without impacting neuronal viability unless there are massive, sustained deficits (16, 23)
NAC provides the precursors for internal production, while glutathione provides immediate antioxidant activity
Glutathione levels naturally decline with age, chronic stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxin exposure, excessive alcohol consumption, and chronic illness
