Cross-sectional studies have shown that plasma and tissue glutathione concentrations decrease by approximately 10-15% per decade after age 45, and this decline is accelerated in conditions associated with chronic oxidative stress, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, HIV/AIDS, chronic liver disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [2][3][10][11]

12,13 It is thus hypothesised that, in the presence of DMF, the ability of dendritic cells to properly present auto-antigens, including the aforementioned LL37, to T-lymphocytes is blocked
Studies show it works too - a six-month trial noted higher levels of glutathione (GSH) in blood, lymphocytes, and cells, and demonstrated reduced oxidative stress as a result of supplementation
