Alpha lipoic acid is another important antioxidant that increases glutathione levels in a couple of ways: it is able to regenerate oxidized (i.e., used) glutathione back to its usable form, in addition to providing a continuous source of cysteine and increasing the uptake of cysteine into cells, where it increases glutathione production within the cell
