in the liver. Glutathione has the ability to make a toxic compound water-soluble so
it can be flushed out of the body via the kidneys. Also can inhibit the oxygenation
of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
The reducing power of GSH is a measure of its free radical scavenging, electron-
donating, and sulfhydryl-donating capacity. Reducing power is also the key to the
multiple actions of GSH at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels, and to its
effectiveness as a systemic antitoxin. The two water-phase antioxidants are tightly
linked: GSH can conserve Vitamin C, and conversely Vitamin C can conserve
GSH. Its full name is g-glutamylcysteinylglycine, meaning it is a combination
of Cysteine, Glutamic acid and Glycine. It maybe best taken in its component
parts as it is cheaper than buying Glutathione and is easier to assimilate. Of all the
oral GSH precursors probably the best is NAC (N-acetylcysteine). Glutathione
is found in citrus, strawberries, peaches, potatoes, squash, broccoli and tomatoes.
To reduce free radical damage thereby enhancing the immune system and
preventing allergic reactions and auto-immune diseases like arthritis take:
Aminos: Glycine, N-acetyl-Cysteine, Glutamine, Tryptophan with Cofactors:
Vitamin B complex, C, E and Selenium and this will increase your glutathione
levels.
GPc (glycerophosphocholine) —Sometimes called L-Alpha Glycerylphosp
horylcholine (Alpha-GPC) is a naturally occurring phospholipid precursor and
metabolite derived from soy lecithin and found in plentiful supply in mothers
milk. It produces improved balance, coordination and muscle strength, improved
lipotrophic functions in the liver, increases in endogenous human Growth
Hormone (hGH) secretion and Improved mental focus and stimulation of
cognitive function. GPC consistently improved space-time orientation, degree of
consciousness, language, motor capacity, and overall quality of life. GPC is a
major cell-level protectant, through its pivotal roles in osmotic pressure regulation
and metabolic antitoxin. GPC is a major reservoir for cell membrane omega-3
phospholipids and helps keep choline and acetylcholine available to the tissues.

GlUtamine—As well as cysteine it is recommended to take the other two aminos
that make up glutathione as supplemental glycine and glutamine. Both glutamate
and glutamine are forms of glutamic acid, the body easily converts the glutamine
to glutamic acid. Glutamic acid readily passes the blood brain barrier and is
considered a “brain fuel. In the brain, glutamine is a substrate for the production
of both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters (glutamate and GABA).
Glutamine is also an important source of energy for the nervous system. Glutamic
acid and cysteine are necessary for glucose regulation, and can decrease cravings
for alcohol and sugar. If the brain is not receiving enough glucose, it compensates
by increasing glutamine metabolism for energy. Glutamine users often report more
energy, less fatigue and better mood. Taking glutamine during kundalini does not
appear to enflame kundalini fire, however any carbohydrate or sugar appears to
do so. Hence glutamine might be a “safe” brain fuel during kundalini while on a
ketogenic or low sugar diet.
