GPX and depression

Posted by Hugh on May 1, 2015, at 10:42:31

It has been found that people suffering from depression have significantly lower GPX levels than normal controls.
"GPX is an enzyme that reduces hydroperoxides by oxidizing glutathione and consequently protects the cells from oxidative damage.... Our results suggest that patients with depression would benefit from Ebselen or a supplementation with glutathione, N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine and selenium."

Taking glutathione orally isn't supposed to do much good. IV glutathione is supposed to be much better. And Brazil nuts increase GPX levels more than twice as much as selenium supplements.
