Glutathione
Eating cruciferous vegetables and other vegetables rich insulforaphane like garlic, onions, or those listed below can boost glutathione which is made of cystine lysine and glutamate. Supplements like NAC, ALA, B 12, Folate, B6, selenium and Milk Thistle along with your multi vitamin and fish oil can all help and are in the detox supplements we carry from Thorne and others.
Curcumin/turmeric, Blueberries, grapes, green tea and ginger all have special detoxifying qualities.
If you give animals sulforaphane, arsenic doesn’t accumulate in their cells. It has been clearly shown to activate NRF2 a master regulator of the antioxidant response to prevent the oxidative stress that can result in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, neurological diseases, and renal disease. Multiple mechanisms have been discovered for sulforaphanes protective actions on DNA and thus cancer prevention.
