If you were to read some of the stuff they write just about Vit C I should have checked into the morgue years ago. When U actually go and read the details behind some of the studies going on it really beggars belief that these PHD's etc conducting the studies actually went to school.

As an example, if you read the detailed, not summary, description of the one and only study to be conducted into the oral absorption of L-Glutathione you see that, contrary to what they say in the summary, it doesn't actually prove anything. It's well understood by everyone that the only way to increase your Glutathione levels (the body’s master anti-oxidant) is to supplement things like selenium and in particular Whey. The study says there is no increase in levels when taken by mouth because it's broken down in the stomach, End of Story. Except, I've experienced and observed quite miraculous a affects from taking oral GSH. It kills viruses dead, including the AIDS virus, which I've observed myself, it's great for flu when taken every 4 hours, better than anything I've ever tried, and it chelates Hg. One things that happens, though I don't know why, is that your skin becomes very soft to the touch. Doesn't sound to me like there is an absorption problem. I know to take it with orange juice and some Vit C to enhance the absorption. Anyway, thought I would look into why this miraculous peptide was being overlooked.

Understand this, when you are sick, your GSH levels go down, the more sick the lower they get. When you look at this study, the conclusion is that upon taking GSH the (7) people in the study had no remarkable increase in blood levels of GSH. When U look at the detail it turned out the 7 people all had serious cases of hepatitis C, where you would expect their levels of GSH would normally be very low. You would have thought they'd try this absorption test on well people if absorption was truly the aim of the study. Of course, the person conducting the study was a part owner of the company, in Canada, that makes Whey supplements.
