Hmmm..... from http://www.vitacost.com/science/hn/Supp/Glutathione.htm :
"There is very little evidence that taking glutathione supplements provides
any benefit, despite promising evidence about the effects of aerosol,
intravenous, and intramuscular glutathione, for people with a wide variety
of conditions. People who have a proven glutathione deficiency, which may
require administration of glutathione intravenously, intramuscularly, or by
aerosol, should be treated by a healthcare professional. "

Other interesting points:
"Glutathione supplements appear to be efficiently absorbed in rats.6 7
However, the same may not be true for glutathione supplements in humans. For
example, when seven healthy subjects were given a single application of up
to 3,000 mg of glutathione, there was no increase in blood glutathione
levels.8 The authors of the study concluded "it is not feasible to increase
circulating glutathione to a clinically beneficial extent by the oral
administrating of a single application of 3,000 mg of glutathione."

"Some researchers believe that supplements other than oral glutathione may
be more effective in raising blood levels of glutathione. For example, in
one trial, blood glutathione levels rose nearly 50% in healthy people taking
500 mg of vitamin C per day for only two weeks.10 Vitamin C raises
glutathione by helping the body manufacture it. In addition to vitamin C,
other nutritional compounds that may, according to preliminary research,
help increase glutathione levels include alpha lipoic acid,11 glutamine,12
methionine,13 S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe),14 and whey protein.15 Vitamin
B6, riboflavin, and selenium are required in the manufacture of glutathione.
The extent to which any of these nutrients effectively increases glutathione
levels in humans remains unclear."

"because questions exist about the extent to which oral glutathione can be
absorbed, some doctors are concerned that oral preparations may be either
less effective than other forms or not effective at all."

Do you need to take a pill from a MLM company?  "Dietary glutathione is
found in fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, fish, and meat.26
Asparagus, avocado, and walnuts are particularly rich dietary sources of
glutathione."


Immunotec is just MLM (scam), the OP is just trying to make money off MLM.

Hell, the study he sights was done by Immunotec, with half the study
subjects were supplied by them.  (

They paid to have their study printed and "The article must therefore be
hereby marked 'ADVERTISEMENT' in accordance with 18 U.S.C. Section 1734"
