Interesting info on Glutathione. doesnt sound too good!
What does it do? Glutathione is a small protein composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. Glutathione is involved in detoxification—it binds to toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, and transforms them into a form that can be excreted in urine or bile. Glutathione is also an important antioxidant. In preliminary research, dietary glutathione intake from fruit and raw vegetables has been associated with protection against some forms of cancer.1 2 Glutathione has also inhibited cancer in test tube3 and animal studies.4 In preliminary research, higher glutathione levels have also been associated with good health in older adults.5
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.” Absorption of glutathione may be better in rats because unlike the gastrointestinal tract of rats, the human gastrointestinal tract contains significant amounts of an enzyme (gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase) that breaks down glutathione. Very preliminary evidence has suggested that absorption of glutathione can occur in the mouth when glutathione tablets are placed between the teeth and the inner cheek.9
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.
Studies using intravenous or intramuscular glutathione have found it to be useful for preventing clot formation during operations;16 reducing the side effects and increasing the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs (particularly cisplatin in women with ovarian cancer);17 18 treating Parkinson’s disease;19 reducing blood pressure in people with diabetes with high blood pressure;20 and increasing sperm counts in men with low sperm counts.21 22 A glutathione nasal spray has also reduced symptoms in people with chronic rhinitis.23 Whether oral preparations are also effective is unknown at this time. A small study in eight patients with liver cancer using oral glutathione showed modest benefits in women, but not in men, when given in a daily amount of 5,000 mg.24
An unpublished preliminary study of eight colon cancer patients also found that oral glutathione appeared to have anticancer activity.25 Nonetheless, 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.
Where is it found? 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.
Glutathione has been used in connection with the following conditions (refer to the individual health concern for complete information):

There is more to it than just those 3 anti-oxidants. Granted, most people are taking the extra stuff to create the synergistic effect. Take a look:
alpha-lipoic acid 300 mg 2 times a day
silymarin (milk thistle) 300 mg 3 times a day
selenium 200 µg 2 times a day
because alpha-lipoic acid depletes B vitamins:
2 B100 caps a day
between 1,000 and 6,000 mgs of vit C a day
400 IU of vitamin E a day
a mineral supplement
at least 6 servings of FRESH vegs or fruit a day
4 or less oz of meat per meal
8 glasses of water a day
Reduce stress levels
Walk 1 mile 3 times a week.
