Its a quiet helper, not a harsh one

The phosphocholine head group in phospholipids of normal healthy cell membranes is not accessible but, when cells are damaged and die, enhanced availability of lysophosphatidylcholine and disruption of the lipid bilayer expose phosphocholine residues to which CRP avidly binds ( In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), there is extensive overproduction of free radicals and reduced extracellular and intracellular GSH leading to oxidative cell damage ( Glutathione is an important antioxidant in the lungs, but its concentration is low in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis, since GSH is transported into the airways by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, which is mutated in cystic fibrosis patients ( An oxidant/antioxidant imbalance characterized by oxidative stress and low GSH levels is involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, since data show marked GSH deficiency in the lower respiratory tract of those patients ( via the airways may be a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( Glutathione and atherosclerosis Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in the US compared to any other cause (151), suggesting that a specific antioxidant/prooxidant imbalance, characterized by a weak GSH-related enzymatic antioxidant shield present in human atherosclerotic lesions, may be involved in atherogenic processes in humans (152)

Here's how glutathione promotes vibrant, glowing skin: Brightens skin tone : Glutathione's most well-known skin advantage is its ability to lighten and brighten the skin
Again, the copper uglies are rare, but its something to be cautious about
For those affected by hemolytic anemia due to glutathione reductase deficiency, this testing offers a promising pathway to early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and the hope of novel therapies
