Foods Rich in Glutathione Precursors Since cysteine availability is the rate-limiting factor for glutathione synthesis, foods rich in cysteine and sulfur-containing amino acids are particularly important [2][9]: High-cysteine protein sources: Whey protein, eggs, chicken, turkey, pork, beef, fish Sulfur-rich vegetables (also activate Nrf2): Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, garlic, onions, shallots Glycine-rich foods (collagen sources): Bone broth, gelatin, skin-on chicken, pork rinds Glutamic acid sources: Tomatoes, mushrooms, parmesan cheese, soy sauce, fermented foods Practical Notes Cooking reduces glutathione: Raw fruits and vegetables contain more glutathione than cooked versions
Biological Roles Beyond Antioxidant Activity Inflammation and Lipid Mediators Glutathione is involved in the synthesis of leukotrienes and prostaglandins, both of which are important mediators of inflammation and immune signaling
