Why do oral and IV glutathione fail to reach cells?

Dave Asprey 0:00
I used to manufacture a gloppy orange thing when I was at Bulletproof. This is different. It's not a pill. It doesn't taste great and it doesn't enter the cell that well, but it's better than nothing. So you just put a little bit in the spray on, but because it absorbs into the cells effectively, you get the benefits on your face. And you can see the difference. It it does work. You use it for a month, y you'll notice it. But I just spray the or wellness on my basic abdomen and rub it in and it goes in and then my cell amounts go up more than they would from an IV, which is ridiculous.
Dr. Nayan Patel 0:28
It's usually about two to three hundred milligrams, which are about uh eight to twelve sprays off the glutol.
Dave Asprey 0:34
You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey. Have you ever promised yourself you would do things differently, only to end up right back in the same pattern? The same relationship, the same habit, the same reaction, the same result. Predictive mind helps explain why. You complete an assessment and then review the results in a one-on-one session. Their brain pattern mapping process reveals the hidden drivers behind your behavior and decision making, so you can finally. See what has been shaping your choices all along. This goes beyond personality tests and self-help advice. Predictive Mind maps the patterns that influence how you react, how you make decisions, and why certain cycles keep repeating in your life.
Dave Asprey 1:22
Once you can see the pattern, you can start changing it. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or confused by your own behavior, check this out. Go to predictivemind.io. And use code DAVE for ten percent off your brain pattern mapping session. This episode is recorded at the studios here in Austin, Texas. And our guest today is Dr. Nan Patel, who is not a first timer on the show, but is one of the most brilliant humans I know at figuring out how to get supplements into the body so they actually work. So every time we have a conversation, it's about some molecule that you may or may not have. heard of, but it's about how does it actually work? And

What did the 2011 University of Texas study reveal about glutathione absorption?

Dave Asprey 2:09
The basics of biohacking are really straightforward. You know, you probably should be Circadian aligned. Might have been saying that since, you know, those first red glasses years ago with TrueDark. And you probably should know how to eat. Right. And learn how to manage your stress and take some breaths or meditation or something. Those are table six. And then you say, but you should also get your nutrients. But that's where it gets really interesting because Oh, which nutrients? And then you take 'em and then well they don't go in and we get kind of stuck there. And so there's a lot of noise in the market because this is gonna sound really crazy, but everyone who sells any supplement will tell you theirs is special, but most of them are made at the same manufacturing plants and they're not that special.
Dave Asprey 2:53
So Dr. Patel is here and we're gonna go really deep on a couple of things that I think are most important. Uh one of them is glutathione. Uh the second or third blog post I ever wrote about health was about glutathione. And there's a lot we know now that we didn't. And we'll talk about copper and we're gonna talk about some other compounds you may not know about. Dr. Patel, welcome back to the show. Thank you for having me here. I call you a doctor, but you're really a pharmacist. I'm a pharmacist. Yes. So this is gonna sound kinda dumb because I have lots of doctor friends and a few pharmacist friends. Why do they call you a doctor if you're a pharmacist?
Dr. Nayan Patel 3:28
Well, it's just a degree, right? If we have d I did doctor in pharmacy. So, you know, it's it's it's polite thing to say their part but Normally it's it's a personal touch, right? Why do people wear lap coats, white coats? It's a g there's a barrier. It's a marketing, it's a barrier between the patients and and and the professionals and just there's a sudden authority that's been implied authority and same thing with doctor. But prefer I would prefer just Nayan.
Dave Asprey 3:54
Just Nayan. Yep. That works for me.
