A pilot clinical trial in 12 healthy adults (ages 50-80) found that oral liposomal glutathione (500-1,000 mg/day) produced maximum increases of 40% in whole blood, 28% in plasma, and 100% in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) within two weeks, alongside a 35% reduction in plasma 8-isoprostane, a validated oxidative stress marker
Other research with RA patients in Italy showed a strong correlation between inflammation, oxidative stress, and lowered glutathione levels in the bloodstream
