Default foodstuff and glutathione

We eat lots of asparagus, avacados and walnuts for their glutathione content, despite that fact that dietary glutathione is not well absorbed. The GI tract has an abundant supply of an enzyme ,gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, that breaks down glutathione before it gets into the blood stream. Perhaps some escapes the breakdown and We think every little bit helps. madelyn
