The cause of gout is primarily the buildup of uric acid, which can result from dietary choices (like consuming foods high in purines, such as red meat and seafood), excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, certain medical conditions, and genetic factors
Research suggests glutathione may reduce oxidative stress markers and support skin tone uniformity, though clinical evidence for topical and oral forms varies significantly
Whether you choose NAC or glutathione, you won't see the full benefits from a single dose
The OAT test helps identify these patterns by revealing measurable metabolites that point to underlying dysfunctions, including: Mitochondrial energy blocks that reduce ATP production and cellular energy Oxidative stress markers indicating excess free radicals and low antioxidant capacity Bacterial and yeast metabolites pointing to gut dysbiosis Deficiencies in vitamins and cofactors such as B6, B12, folate, or biotin Detoxification stress reflected by altered glutathione and sulfur metabolism Understanding these imbalances allows for a personalized, root-cause plan instead of a one-size-fits-all approach
It also inhibits protein breakdown via FoxO transcription factor suppression
