Yes, certain types of honey, especially when combined with other ingredients like ginger, can increase glutathione levels.
Based on the provided research, a mixture of ginger and gelam honey can significantly increase glutathione levels. The research indicates that:
- The administration of ginger honey supplements can lead to a statistically significant increase in glutathione levels.
- Specifically, the study showed an increase of 0.447 ng/ml in glutathione levels after the administration of the ginger-honey supplement.
- This increase in glutathione helps to overcome oxidative stress by decreasing ROS production.
Therefore, while the effect may depend on the type of honey and its combination with other substances, evidence suggests that honey can indeed increase glutathione levels in the blood.
