Editor's note
A narrative review with glutathione as its central subject in type 2 diabetes. It reports favorable safety and associations with improved metabolic markers but characterizes findings as heterogeneous and preliminary. Rigorous trials are still needed.
Plain-language abstract
This review summarizes evidence that glutathione supplementation is associated with better insulin sensitivity and reduced oxidative damage in type 2 diabetes, while noting the data remain preliminary.
