A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 60 Thai medical students found that glutathione (500 mg/day for 4 weeks) reduced melanin index scores at multiple body sites compared to placebo (Arjinpathana & Asawanonda, J Dermatolog Treat, 2012) [61]
Importantly, individuals with higher baseline external eating scores experienced greater body weight reduction, highlighting a potentially underexplored predictor of GLP-1RA efficacy
Noom has launched its Microdose GLP-1Rx Program to improve affordability and reduce side effects tied to weight loss medications
