Re: glutathion and whey--question

[Guest guest]

I was looking up some info on liver nutrition and this article claims that

there are other natural food sources for glutathione. http://www.gmhc

org/health/nutrition/liver/food.html It lists foods such as garlic, onions,

asparagus, watermelon, and supposedly papaya and avocados help the body

produce glutathione, according to the article. I don't how much food you

need to consume to equal the supplements you all take, but apparently if

this article is right, there are other sources for glutathione than whey

protein.

Papayas are a bit too sweet for me, but I've been able to eat plenty of the

other foods including watermelon, plenty of onions, and avocados without

noticeable problems.

-- glutathion and whey--question

So is it just whey protein that produces the glutathione? Are the

inulin and selenium part of it? If someone can tolerate whey protein

but not inulin, will they be able to produce glutathione?

You haven't read about glutathione precursors in whey at the bottom of

my page, JB (it's the bonded cysteine):

Undenatured whey+selenium=glutathione, yes, and selenium is required.

Inulin is not, but it feeds the probiotic organisms in your gut to

reestablish normal ecology.

The writers of these articles are unaware that glutathione that

occurs in nature OR in a bottle has been extensively researched and

found to not elevate cellular glutathione.

That's why a precursor is given as opposed to glutathione itself in

an emergency situation (at the hospital) where the patient is in

danger of his liver liquefying. In this case NAC is given orally, but

the liver hogs it, shorting out the other cells, so it's not a good

supplement particularly when you'd have to dose every 4 hours anyway.

I know this work better than most doctors because I've read the

research, and I keep suggesting a read of Dr. Jimmy

Gutman's " Glutathione, Your Body's most Powerful Healing Agent " ,

which you can find new or used online

Hey Duncan. Can the whey and selenium be taken at the same time? I mean, I

put the whey in a blender green breakfast drink, and I want to put the

selenium tablets in the drink too, rather than take them separate with the

drink.

And the inulin--that should be taken later, alone, right?

Hi ; yes, whey and selenium can be taken at any time, together

or not. I live in a region with no selenium in the graoundwater so I

take 200 mcg without fail; I suggest 300-400mcg to clients in this

area who have health issues, along with the undenatured whey 70 grams

or so.

Sorry, -- I meant to add that inulin can be taken at any time

as well; and research indications are that taking it with meals

allows longer contact time with the probiotics. A lot of people cook

with it or add it to the whey shake.

Oh cool! So I can add both the selenium and the inulin to the whey shake?

That's one less thing I have to take as a separate supplement. Thanks

Duncan.

Practically all your supplements can be taken at once... some water

solubles such as vitamin C and b-vitamins should really be taken more

than once in the day tho'

Right--already know that about taking water soluble more often than once a

day. But as I hate to swallow all those pills I usually just throw the

morning ones all into a blender with my green drink. The greens and fruit

cover the taste of even nasty vitamins. :-) then I only have to take the

ones like C with a bit of water later in the evening--instead of standing

there choking down a handful of vitamins twice a day. I just didn't know if

taking the selenium or inulin in with the whey was right, or if they had to

be separated by a time frame of some sort. Now that I know it is not

necessary to separate them, it makes my mornings even easier.
