Boosting glutathione with a supplement in Parkinson's
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supplement called gamma-glutamylcysteine can increase levels of a natural antioxidant called glutathione in the brain of people with Parkinson's. If you are between 50 and 80 and have mild cognitive symptoms, this trial may help researchers understand a new way to support brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an oral supplement called gamma glutamylcysteine (GGC) in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to see if it is safe and well-tolerated. It may help by supporting the body's natural defenses against cell damage.
This early-stage study tests whether taking glutathione can affect brain “inflammation” and metabolism in people with Alzheimer’s disease. You might benefit from a new treatment approach, while helping researchers understand what works best for early Alzheimer’s-related brain changes.
This study tests whether a supplement called NAD (a natural substance that helps cells produce energy) can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. You would take the supplement daily for several weeks, and researchers will check your movement, thinking, and overall well-being.
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding nasal insulin and glutathione can improve Parkinson’s disease symptoms and function. You would use study medicine through the nose while keeping your other treatments mostly the same during the trial.
This study tests whether a supplement called resveratrol (found naturally in grapes and berries) can help slow or improve Parkinson's disease symptoms. You'll take resveratrol pills or a placebo while researchers monitor your memory, movement, and overall health.
This trial tests whether the supplement N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can help people who have the m.3243A>G mitochondrial genetic change and low levels of a brain chemical called glutathione. The study aims to see if raising glutathione in the brain is safe and potentially beneficial for these patients.
