Hey folks, it’s Dr. Sam and
Well, there was a study published in 2017 in the Journal called Investigational Dermatology. Researchers took a group of subjects – this was a double-blind placebo based study – and they were given 250 milligrams of glutathione over a 12-week period.
They did measurements assessing skin health prior to starting the study and measured changes at the end of the study. What they found was that the subjects supplementing with glutathione had fewer wrinkles and overall much healthier skin.
So I speak often about glutathione’s role in eye health, but it truly is the master antioxidant for the entire body. I’ll be sharing more areas of research on glutathione’s role in protecting against oxidative stress and improving overall health in coming videos.
In terms of foods to boost glutathione levels, I recommend asparagus, avocados, okra, spinach, cruciferous vegetables, and green leafy vegetables.
So that’s my message for today. Thank you so much for tuning in. Until next time, take good care.
