For example, 83 g/d of almonds increases glutathione in smokers by 16% and decreases their DNA damage by 29%.34 Finally, there is meditationpractitioners have 20% higher levels of glutathione.35 Clinical Application Direct administration and promotion of production of glutathione have been used effectively in a wide range of diseases: Parkinsons, peripheral obstructive arterial disease, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, COPD, preterm infants autism, contrast-induced nephropathy, chronic otitis media, lead exposure, nail biting(!), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, exercise-induced fatiguethe list is long and surprisingly diverse.3646 Summary Clearly, adequate availability of glutathione is critical for maintaining health, protecting the body from toxins, and promoting longevity
