Because glutathione plays so many roles, the symptoms tend to be broad rather than specific, which is part of why it often goes overlooked: Persistent fatigue or low energy that doesnt resolve with rest 1 Brain fog, poor concentration, or memory issues 2 Frequent illness or slow recovery from infections 3 Anxiety, low mood, or depression 4 Joint pain or general inflammation Sluggish detoxification (sensitivity to alcohol, chemicals, or medications) 5 Slower recovery after exercise 6 If several of these resonate, optimizing glutathione (starting with food) is a reasonable place to focus
AMP, which is present at much lower concentration (~0.05 mmol/L), relieves this inhibition
in rare cases, irregular heart rhythms, dizziness, fainting or collapse especially in people with pre-existing heart or electrolyte problems
There is a consensus that GPX and GCL are the two enzymes in the glutathione pathway that are upregulated by estradiol
A primary concern in any growth-promoting therapy is the regulation of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)
