N-acetyl-L-carnitine (NAC) — in a dose of 1,000 mg twice a day — significantly improves cell glutathione levels. It should always be taken during a meal, because it can cause cramping and esophageal burning if taken on an empty stomach. Two capsules of DGL Plus (Pure Encapsulations company) mixed with 4 ounces of water will stop the cramping and burning, should it occur.

Taurine in a dose of 500 mg twice a day supplies the liver with sulfur, which is used in detoxification.

Indole-3 carbinol improves phase II detoxification. The dose is 250 to 500 mg twice a day with a meal.

R-lipoic acid is found naturally in every cell and tissue in the body. It is a very powerful antioxidant and protects the liver from some of the most powerful toxins, such as those from the deathcap mushroom.
