You mention below a yeast derived selenium.  I have intended to ask the list 
folk what the available info/collective knowledge  is on nutritional yeast.  I 
have over the years eaten the stuff and found it to be a healthy addition.  It 
contains many amino acids, B vits (some added), minerals. If I take some rather 
than a cup of coffee - I get the energy without the static of caffiene. 
I have also observed that of late, the nutritional yeast does not impart the 
niacin rush as readily or at the same amount of nutritional yeast ingested, 
compared to earlier times. There could be serveral explanations, including 
lesser quality yeast, less added niacin, and/or my older body needing more and 
reacting less.

(Meister, 1984; Baruchel et 
at., 1996) and is poorly absorbed and transported. Another form N-
acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is an amine protected version of 
cysteine. It is rapidly hydrolyzed in the body to cysteine and it 
has a vey short half-life. Not before some gets into the liver 
and this small percentage is indeed used by the liver.   

But because the rest of the free cysteine is a toxin at the 
decent doses required regularly, outside of an emergency life- 
saving situation such as acetaminophen overdose it's not a good 
drug, and it's not a health supplement.  Overall it's not 
particularly beneficial because of the toxin 
load trade-off.

That's why I recommend undenatured whey for glutathione increase.
The ALA is useful with the Whey.
