Any steps you take to increase your glutathione levels will be an extremely worthwhile investment when trying to detoxify the body. It seems that every disease process begins with a decline in glutathione levels. And when you take a closer look at many of the "miracle" antioxidants that have become popular, much of their therapeutic effect comes from the fact that they help raise glutathione levels.

You can increase glutathione levels by taking the amino acid N-acetylcysteine. N-acetylcysteine is converted in the body to glutathione. Taking 600 milligrams daily of N-acetylcysteine has been shown to increase blood plasma levels of glutathinone by 38 percent. (Euro J Can 95;31A(6):921-923)

You can also take glutathione powder, and while its possible that it may be one of the more reliable methods of raising glutathione levels, its also the most expensive. Jo Mar offers glutathione in bulk powder form. In homemade capsules or with food or drink, a daily dose of 500 mg will run around 50 cents a day.

Finally, melatonin has been found to stimulate the production of glutathione peroxidase, the principle enzyme for controlling free radical damage in the brain. Plus, grape seed extract, bilberry extract, curcumin from turmeric, and Pycnogenol from pine bark have all been found to increase glutathione levels.
