Glutathione, NAC + Glycine · Castore: Built to Adapt

Glutathione, NAC + Glycine

One more question that’s been on my mind. I know the mechanisms and purposes of use, but I’m curious whether you have any opinions or experiences on when to use which, and how.

I know that bodybuilders often use glutathione in small doses (around 150 mg three times a week), with occasional larger doses administered intravenously.

My question now is whether it’s actually good to use them together on a regular basis. Too much antioxidant activity isn’t beneficial either, since it may disrupt optimal redox balance.

So when should glutathione be used, and when NAC + glycine? How does the absorption of liposomal glutathione compare to intramuscular administration?

Are there any markers—say in blood tests—that can guide the decision on when to use it?

Or is it more a matter of adding glutathione in times of high stress, and otherwise relying on the NAC + glycine combination?

I’d really like to hear your opinion. Thank you
