If you are not familiar with glutathione, you may enjoy reading a general discussion of glutathione that I wrote in the Fall 2012, for a publication called Holistic Primary Care. The article reviews the basics of glutathione in a friendly, not too scientific fashion.
Many people ask about testing for glutathione, you can that here.
