Rhonda Patrick on Glutathione
3 episodes · 3 references · 2014–2025
- Patrick highlights glutathione as a key endogenous antioxidant that binds and neutralizes reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, protecting cells from oxidative damage. - She notes two natural ways to boost glutathione: heat exposure (via heat shock proteins scavenging free radicals) and coffee consumption (via NRF2 pathway activation). - No specific doses, supplemental forms, or personal use mentioned — all references frame glutathione as a body-produced defense mechanism, not a supplement she takes.
