Glutathione is the master detoxification enzyme of the entire body. It protects the mitochondria, keeps hydrogen peroxide in check, protects cell membranes, and supports the function of other antioxidants in the body.When your glutathione is low, you can not eliminate toxins. Glutathione’s most important function in your body is to protect your mitochondria. Many chronic illnesses are associated with mitochondrial damage, including cancer. Toxins attack the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, which generates energy. You need energy to detoxify your body! Glutathione helps the body eliminate fat-soluble toxins. It also helps prevent damage to cellular membranes caused by seed oils.Glutathione supplements are poorly absorbed and break down very quickly. To make glutathione, you need the amino acids cysteine and glycine. You also need selenium, the most important mineral for detox, which is intimately involved in activating glutathione. Selenium is also vital for thyroid function. If your thyroid is under-functioning, you won’t produce adequate bile, and you won’t be able to detoxify. The best source of selenium is Brazil nuts. Two per day supplies all the selenium that you need. Other foods high in selenium include Eggs, organ meats, Cruciferous vegetables, Shellfish, and Fish.Modern-day soils do not have adequate selenium, so it’s easy to become deficient. This can compromise your body’s detoxification pathways, thyroid function, immune function, and more.Healthy bile flow is vital for detoxification. If you decide to go on a detox, try taking TUDCA a few days beforehand. There are two types of bile—one is made by the liver, and the other is made by your microbes. Issues with your microbiome could also lead to low bile levels.To support natural detoxification, focus on the following:• Adequate bile• Healthy thyroid• Selenium• Healthy microbiomeDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
