A subsequent pilot study (n=12) comparing oral liposomal glutathione (500 mg twice daily for 2 weeks) found increases in GSH levels in whole blood, erythrocytes, and plasma, along with reductions in 8-isoprostane (a marker of oxidative stress) (Buonocore et al., Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2016) [16]
Older persons with digestive problems that impair their dietary nutrient absorption may avoid zinc deficiency by taking supplemental zinc
Compared with EtOH-fed WT mice, KO mice were less susceptible to EtOH-induced deleterious effects, including body weight loss (reflected by less body weight gain), liver weight gain and hepatocyte damage (reflected by plasma ALT activity) (Table 1)

Your body will become more susceptible to oxidative stress
Our data suggest that the glutathione deficiency in aged humans occurs in large part because of a markedly diminished supply of the precursors glycine and cysteine rather than because of a diminished capacity to synthesize glutathione. Why try a glutathione IV
