A small randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study of glutathione inhalation in children with cystic fibrosis also demonstrated greater peak expiratory flows and improved respiratory symptoms in the glutathione-treated group (32)
Interestingly, compared to those in younger people, glutathione levels in older people are much lower, and the levels of oxidative stress are much higher
When considering supplementation, the form of glutathione is critical
