What your dog hears attn Rich, and others with brains

[Guest guest]

What you say to your dog:

" Get down off that couch, you little pooch. Come and get your food. "

What your dog hears:

" Blah, blah, blah, blah, - food. "

What you say to us on this patient list:

***That's just it. It is partly broken down to cysteine. When

glutathione is infused into the blood stream, it is rapidly taken

up, primarily by the kidneys (about 80%). The kidneys have a very

active gamma glutamyl cycle, and that breaks glutathione down. Some

of the resulting cysteine goes into the blood stream. This, by the

way, is also the cycle whereby the whey protein isolates (as opposed

to the nondenatured or native whey protein concentrates) supply

cysteine to the liver to make glutathione. The whey protein

isolates contain their cysteine in oxidized form of cystine. The

liver doesn't absorb that very well. So the cystine stays in the

blood, is filtered out by the kidneys, and much of it is reabsorbed

into the kidneys using the gamma glutamyl cycle. In the process of

operating the gamma glutamyl cycle, not only is glutathione broken

down, but amino acids, particularly cystine, are imported into the

kidney cells. Once inside the cells, it is redcued to cysteine, and

some of that is put back into the blood. The liver does import

cysteine well, so this gives it cysteine to make glutathione. If

one takes a whey protein concentrate, on the other hand, the

cysteine is still in the reduced state, as when it came out of the

cow. The liver can then import it directly.
