CONNECTION BETWEEN GLUTATHIONE AND THYROID FUNCTION

The cytosol, a fluid found inside cells, produces glutathione, which is then transported to the mitochondria where it helps to shield these energy-generating powerhouses from harm. By ensuring the oxidation of glucose for the creation of ATP (energy), glutathione protects against free radical damage that can lead to diabetes. 1

This is crucial for thyroid health because one of the thyroid hormone's main responsibilities is to ensure that glucose is properly oxidized for energy. If glutathione levels are low, there is a higher chance that the cells won't adequately use glucose for energy, which could lead to the thyroid gland's downregulation.

In fact, research has discovered a substantial link between Hashimoto's and an inability to recycle glutathione.  Therefore supplementation with Glutathione IQ or Nano Blanc Glutathione Patches would be beneficial and supportive for those with thyroid disorders.
