Glutathione Depletion: A Modern Epidemic Glutathione levels decline with age - typically by 1015% per decade after age 20 - and are further depleted by: *Chronic illness and autoimmune conditions *Environmental toxin exposure (heavy metals, pesticides) *Poor nutrition (insufficient cysteine, glycine, glutamate precursors) *Chronic psychological stress *Alcohol consumption *Certain medications (acetaminophen, chemotherapy agents) *Intense physical exercise without adequate recovery Given that thyroid disease prevalence increases with age and is associated with chronic immune activation, the parallel decline in glutathione levels is not coincidental - it is mechanistically significant
Phase-II HSB Effects of dietary glycine supplementation on concentrations of creatine and its metabolites in plasma and tissues Data on the concentrations of creatine and its metabolites in the tissues of Phase-II HSB are summarized in Table 1
Low DHEA levels are one of the repercussions of Adrenal Fatigue
Examples of electrolytes include Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Chloride, and Potassium (amongst others) 34
however, it does appear to have the potential to slow down the process by possibly preventing naturally occurring FOXO4-mediated resistance to apoptosis during senescence
