Main benefits: Brightens the skin, improves pigmentation, fades post-acne dark spots, and helps prevent aging thanks to its strong antioxidant properties
Studies show that oral glutathione is broken down in the gut and doesnt reliably raise levels in the bloodstream
One published study on this product found 28: A 28% increase in cellular glutathione A 400% increase in natural killer (NK) cell function A reduction in oxidative stress markers , including a 35% decrease in plasma 8-isoprostane, a marker of lipid peroxidation The effective dose used was 5001,000 mg per day
Reported benefits (per available research): FDA-approved, clinical-trial-supported reduction of excess visceral abdominal fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy, the only indication with robust human RCT evidence behind it Studied in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial for possible support of executive function and cognitive performance in healthy older adults and adults with mild cognitive impairment (Baker et al., 2012) Proposed, but far less rigorously studied in healthy or bodybuilding populations, to support lean body mass and body composition changes through GH/IGF-1 axis stimulation
