Editor's note
A narrative review with glutathione as its central subject in HIV and HIV-TB co-infection. It reports consistent safety and associations with restored thiol balance and immune function, while noting short study durations and lack of standardized biomarkers. Encouraging but not practice-changing.
Plain-language abstract
This review examines glutathione supplementation and precursor strategies in HIV and HIV-tuberculosis co-infection, reporting associations with improved immune and mitochondrial function.
