While glutathione supplements are broadly suitable for almost anyone who wants to increase their body's capacity to combat oxidative stress, they can best serve individuals who wish to prevent, delay, or alleviate specific chronic health conditions associated with glutathione depletion:15 Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD Cardiovascular diseases like hypertension and high cholesterol Age-related diseases like cataracts, macular degeneration, and hearing impairment Immune diseases like HIV and AIDS Liver disease Cystic fibrosis Additionally, because the goal is to reduce oxidative stress, people who are regularly exposed to ROS-generating compounds (e.g., smoke, alcohol, and sunlight)23 might consider adding glutathione to their supplement rotation, at least to help counter the effects of oxidative stressors
From the standpoint of the overall environmental health, the discharge of the BC 7 in air and the effluents of industrial wastewater 13,14,15 (containing hazardous, carcinogenic and non-biodegradable organic dyes) in the water-bodies are unceasingly deteriorating the ecological balance 16,17 , and causes many serious diseases 18,19,20
