Glutathione and Parkinson's Disease:
Glutathione augmentation appears to be beneficial in Parkinson's disease. Although data suggests that milk (primarily pasteurized milk) appears to be associated with an increased incidence of PD, glutathione augmentation in Parkinson's Disease (which can be accomplished with bioactive whey protein, a fraction or isolate of unpasteurized milk) appears to offer some benefit.
