Methionine SAM (via MAT) methyl donor formation Homocysteine remethylation methionine (requires B12 ) Transsulfuration (CBS & CGL, needs B6 ) cysteine Cysteine + glutamate + glycine GSH (glutathione synthetase) Nutrient supports: B12, B6, folate for methylation & transsulfuration Sulfur-rich foods (garlic, onion, broccoli) Protein sources (eggs, fish, legumes) for amino acids Glutathione synthesis is the step-by-step process by which the body creates its master antioxidant to support detoxification, immunity, and cellular health
