Glutathione is the master detoxifier and the body's main endogenous antioxidant. Toxins are linked to glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool, and out of the body. Glutathione protects our cells' delicate chemical machinery and helps energy metabolism run efficiently.

Glutathione is one of the body's most powerful detoxifiers. It supports healthy immune function and can neutralize a broad spectrum of free radicals.

Improving Glutathione levels has shown to be extremely beneficial for a plethora of conditions. Autism it seems is no different.

Ergothioneine is a naturally-occurring amino acid and is a thiourea derivative of histidine, containing a sulfur atom in the imidazole ring. This compound is made in rather few organisms, notably Actinobacteria and filamentous fungi.[1] Ergothioneine was discovered in 1909 and named after the ergot fungus from which it was first purified, with its structure being determined later, in 1911.[2] This amino acid has antioxidant properties, but its chemistry differs from conventional sulfur-containing antioxidants such as glutathione or lipoic acid. Although ergothioneine cannot be made in human cells, it is present in some tissues at high levels as it is absorbed from the diet.[3] In humans ergothioneine is taken up from the gut and concentrated in the tissues by a specific transporter called the novel organic cation transporter. However, even today, one hundred years after its discovery, precisely what ergothioneine does in the human body remains a mystery

Breast cancer risk in premenopausal women is inversely associated with consumption of broccoli, a source of isothiocyanates, but is not modified by GST genotype. Ambrosone CB, McCann SE, Freudenheim JL, Marshall JR, Zhang Y, Shields PG. J Nutr. 2004 May;134(5):1134-8. PMID: 15113959

This blend of vitamin C (as sodium ascorbate) with R-lipoic acid (as sodium R-lipoate) simultaneously supports the body's antioxidant status while supporting an endogenous production of glutathione.
