Present at millimolar concentrations in most mammalian cells, GSH is involved in virtually every aspect of cellular defence and metabolic regulation

Researchers should not expect dramatic changes within days or weeks

The most commonly reported side effects are gastrointestinal in naturenausea, vomiting, or diarrhoeaparticularly when starting oral supplementation

The increased cellular activity helps address accumulated damage and supports regeneration processes that slow with age

Agents that deplete bacterial GSH or inhibit its synthesis could sensitize bacteria to antibiotics, which makes resistant strains more treatable Exogenous GSH administration adds another dimension to therapeutic considerations
