Therapeutic potential of glutathione enhancers in stress related psychopathologies ScienceDirect Studies show children with autism have significantly lower levels of glutathione, the body's master antioxidant. Without enough glutathione, the body struggles to eliminate toxins, making it harder to cope with everyday Increasing glutathione levels by a novel posttranslational mechanism inhibits neuronal hyperexcitability ScienceDirect Glycine and N acetylcysteine (NAC) are amino acidbased nutrients that serve as precursors for glutathione, one of the body's most important intracellular antioxidants. Glutathione plays a central role in reducing oxidative stress, supporting Glutathione in Brain: Overview of Its Conformations, Functions, Biochemical Characteristics, Quantitation and Potential Therapeutic Role in Brain Disorders Neurochemical Research Springer Nature Link
