"Most people would benefit from extra glutathione."

Hmmm... I wonder if it would help me, I have "alpha 1". It's a genetic problem... :(

I think it would be well worth talking to your doctor about. Glutathione may prevent some of the damage to the cells of some of your organs that can come from having alpha 1, but you’d want to be careful about whatever you take. You might find this article interesting:

Those with alpha-1 seem to have excess oxidants (which can cause cell damage) and decreased gluathione (as I said, a very powerful antioxidant) in their systems.
