Do not use if pregnant or nursing
It is also required for the bodys natural immune response and is important in the cellular detoxification of xenobiotics like smoke, heavy metals, and drug metabolites
With this biotransformation, liver detoxification, a long-standing barrier in nanomedicine translation, can be turned into a bridge toward maximizing targeting and minimizing nanotoxicity
Furthermore, glutathione in its reduced form (GSH) acts as a hydrogen donor in the detoxification process of hydrogen peroxide
it is, at best, a mechanistically reasonable adjunct whose independent contribution has not been quantified in controlled human trials
