This is one of the reasons why regular taking of low doses of Chlorine Dioxide (protocol 1000 two or three days per week). It stimulates the body to up regulate the production of antioxidants like glutathione. This is also known as mitochondrial hormesis. Think of it like a workout for your mitochondria. Two or three days per week like a workout is sufficient for the stress that it puts on the mitochondria.

I’ve been taking NAC supplements. Doesn’t that stimulate glutathione production? Or am I wrong about that?

"The effectiveness of transdermal glutathione depends on its formulation, particularly the ability to make the GSH molecule small enough to penetrate the skin while maintaining its stability and activity. When properly formulated, transdermal applications can provide many of the benefits of IV therapy with greater convenience and lower cost, making it a practical option for ongoing GSH support."

Lots of great info especially detoxifying effects and valuable point about the potential effects of the ingredients of body products delivered with higher potency than if they were eaten. Important to remember that transdermal drug delivery means we are potentially absorbing substances never meant for human consumption since external application tends to bypass testing and regulatory limits consumable products require.

Removing toxins requires rethinking how we think about skin which is the primary barrier for our immune system. EWG Guide is a big help!

The antioxidant theory has never been proven; on the contrary, there is substantial evidence suggesting that antioxidants can be harmful. Many researchers persist in treating the antioxidant theory as an established law.

Initially experienced a severe reflexive, whole of being, sense of disgust and repulsion when presented with the analogy comparing the human body to a metropolitan city. Fortunately, appears that I somehow had adequate levels of glutathione and was able to recover. Now about the claim about this molecule being the second most abundant molecule...Carbon Dioxide would like to have a word.

On a Dutch test, my glutathione level was low but my practitioner told me that meant I had too much glutathione. I was skeptical. I supplement with transdermal and oral. Is there an ideal or better test method for glutathione levels?
