    FOODS THAT STIMULATE GLUTATHIONE PRODUCTION

    Certain chemicals (cyanohydroxybutene, diindolylmethane, glucoraphanin, sulphraphane,


    indole-3-carbinol, betalains and chrolophyll) found in foods and spices are known to
    contribute to glutathione production in the body, assist in recycling oxidized glutathione
    back to its reduced (non-oxidized) form, and also boost the synthesis and the activity of
    important glutathione enzymes– glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione S-
    transferase (GST).

    Broccoli

    These foods are:

     Broccoli
     Cauliflower
     Cabbage
     Brussels sprouts
     Garlic
