[3] Neural protection and repair [edit] Proliferating reactive astrocytes are critical to scar formation and function to reduce the spread and persistence of inflammatory cells, to maintain the repair of the bloodbrain barrier (BBB), to decrease tissue damage and lesion size, and to decrease neuronal loss and demyelination
Don't overlook the nutritional foundation Glutathione production also depends on adequate intake of several key nutrients, including: Protein: supplies the amino acids needed to build glutathione Selenium: required for glutathione peroxidase activity Riboflavin (vitamin B2): helps recycle oxidized glutathione back to its active form Vitamin C: helps regenerate glutathione and reduces oxidative burden Vitamin E: works alongside glutathione to protect cell membranes Who is most likely to benefit
Chronic conditions like Long COVID and ME/CFS can deplete systemic glutathione, impairing energy and detoxification
Maintenance dosages typically mirror initial loading doses at 600-1,200 mg but with reduced frequency
