How does glutathione affect sugar cravings and blood glucose levels?

Glutathione, a mix of three amino acid proteins (and a critical antioxidant as well), supports insulin function, stabilizing blood sugar and helping to decrease sugar cravings. It is an important nutrient for maintaining optimal blood sugar levels. Taking glutathione supplements by mouth doesn’t raise glutathione levels, though, because it’s destroyed by stomach acid.

Fortunately, your body can make glutathione if you take the amino acids L-cysteine in the form of N-acetylcysteine (250 to 600 mg a day), glutamine (500 to 1,000 mg a day), and glycine (500 to 1,000 mg a day). Taking vitamin C also increases glutathione levels.
