Editor's note
A broad narrative review with oral glutathione as its explicit subject across multiple conditions. It reports associations with reduced oxidative stress and various potential benefits but repeatedly flags the need to establish dosing, long-term effects, and side effects. Claims framed as potential, not proven.
Plain-language abstract
This review surveys where oral glutathione supplementation may help, including oxidative stress, insulin sensitivity, and skin tone, while noting dosing and long-term safety remain unclear.
