Research demonstrates that individuals with higher glutathione levels show significantly better markers of cellular health
As studies used different scales of measurement, SMDs were chosen to summarize between group differences since it can better adjust for the different scaling used [26]
Glutathione optimization is most appropriate for patients with documented biomarker deficiency, high oxidative stress (elevated oxidized glutathione or inflammatory markers), metabolic dysfunction, or chronic health conditions
When it comes to dosage, most studies that back up the liver-protective effects suggest using between 1 and 8 grams per day
Initial studies demonstrated that although mature erythrocytes contain procaspase-3 and procaspase-8, they are devoid of the mitochondrial apoptotic machinery, e.g., APAF-1, cytochrome c, and caspases-2, -6, -7, and -9 [22, 23]
