When supplied as a research or compounded product, it typically arrives as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
The molecular weight of 4,114 Daltons makes milk transfer unlikely
The findings were groundbreaking: at the 6-month mark, subjects taking the 1,000 mg daily dose experienced a 30% to 35% increase in glutathione levels within their erythrocytes (red blood cells), plasma, and lymphocytes
