If glutathione keeps popping up in your social feeds lately, you’re not imagining it. Glutathione is having a moment. In fact, one of our listeners wrote in and asked us to do a deep dive on this buzzy supplement. What exactly is glutathione? Do you actually need it—or is this just another wellness trend? And for those of you that have seen the supplement NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) in your feed, you may be wondering if it’s better to take it to boost your body’s natural glutathione production instead. If you’ve been wondering whether glutathione or NAC deserve a spot in your supplement routine, this episode will help you decide.
