Very well written book explaining in great detail the benefits of glutathione for a wide variety of conditions, and how it is very essential for everyday life. Very informative, packed with good information. After reading this book I have every intention of putting that information to use, because I have a family member with early stage of Parkinson's.

An eye-opening book that gives good knowledge that all people could use to better their lives.

Really interesting book about the powerful antioxidant glutathione. The book explains how this naturally occurring substance in our bodies diminishes as we age. Patel says that glutathione helps with all sorts of ailments, coming close to call it a cure-all. Patel then goes about laying out three different plans for how to boost one's glutathione. I learned a lot. It did bother me somewhat that Patel sells very, very expensive glutathione products himself and touts their delivery method as the best means of increasing one glutathione levels. that said, the information was powerful and actually spurred into buying another glutathione product which was much less expensive but which got good reviews. Hope it works.

This is the best health book I've read all year! Dr. Patel's book clearly explains the importance of glutathione for health, and how its lack can cause many types of problems. He explains how to increase your body's own glutathione, as well as how to supplement so that your body can use it. This knowledge will help a lot of people! I highly recommend this book -- I would give it ten stars if I could!

Wow - I would go so far as to say this is a life-changing book. If you are interested in health and functional medicine, or suffering from any kind of medical issue, you must check this out.

If you’ve had any kind of weird physical ailments, fatigue, fibromyalgia, brain fog or similar (*raises hand*) you may have been searching for ways to feel better, and in that search you may already have heard of glutathione. I too knew about it from my own research, but found this book to be by far the most in-depth look at glutathione for non-scientific folks that I’ve ever read.

You should know up front that this author is a pharmacist and is, as he admits, “in the glutathione business” — he sells a transdermal solution. Despite that though, I did not feel this book was giving me the hard sell at all. In fact, it provides many many ways to increase your body’s own production of glutathione through supplementation, nutrition, exercise, sun protection (who knew) and more.

This book accurately reflects my own experience with IV glutathione (effective but only for a few hours) and explains scientifically what that’s true. So don’t go wasting your money on pricey glutathione IVs like I did about three times. It also has a lot of really valuable advice and charts on nutrition, and tons of ideas for increasing glutathione production through food and relatively inexpensive and low-risk supplements.

I am really glad I had the chance to preview this book because it reinforced what I already knew but also expanded it greatly with much more very accessible science and practicality. I’m going to start trying some of the nutrition and supplementation tips immediately.

Thanks to NetGalley, Nayan Patel and Hachette for this great and informative book. I will let you all know my results!
