In February, u/Pretty-Chill and u/NootropicsDepotGuru will explore the fascinating mechanisms of Reduced Glutathione and N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) in the next episode of In Search of Insight, Nootropics Depot’s monthly podcast. Now, it’s time for your questions!
Reduced Glutathione is an essential amino acid compound that’s present in both our bodies and our diets. Despite being a lesser-known compound, reduced glutathione plays an important role in our body’s ability to balance oxidation which benefits our immune system, cellular function, skin health, and cognitive function. N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) is an acetylated version of the amino acid Cysteine, and also plays an important role in glutathione production in the body.
Have you wondered how reduced glutathione benefits the immune system? How does glutathione stack up against other oxidation-balancing compounds? Have you discovered an exciting research study on the effects or benefits of NAC? Submit your questions on reduced glutathione and NAC in a comment on the thread below for a chance to be featured in…

Does glutathione have immune enhancing effects and/or protect against the inflammatory response to some viruses?
(Feel free to just reply with a wink if the answer is in the “probably to highly likely” range, but could cause controversy)

A lack of glutathione can absolutely result in certain viral infections progressing to a more serious place, and raising glutathione levels through various strategies is a way to mitigate that effect. There are many ways do raise glutathione levels, but my personal favorite at the moment is just to take reduced glutathione 3X a day every day. There are quicker ways acutely, but if you just always take glutathione daily you will have steady state plasma levels for whatever life throws at you.
