Liposomal Glutathione, S-Acetyl L-Glutathione, and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine are the three supplements Dr. Weirs discusses in this video. 

Glutathione is the single most powerful antioxidant produced naturally in the body. It protects DNA from damage and is crucial for proper mitochondrial function and energy production. Stress, gaps in our diet, chronic illness as well as long-term toxic exposure cannot only deplete stores of glutathione but also inhibit its production. 

It is one of the primary protective, detoxifying molecules in the body, capable of removing hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals that humans ingest or inhale.  Recent studies have shown that glutathione is taken up intact by the intestines, lungs, and kidneys, and is not found in blood plasma to any great extent, which explains why blood studies have been misleading about the value of oral glutathione.
