From a website:Dr. Perlmutter: "Eighty to ninety percent improve dramatically. It's felt that the mechanism that allows it to work is in increasing the sensitivity to certain receptors to dopamine. Glutathione doesn't raise dopamine levels, but it allows the dopamine in the brain to be more effective. That's not a new idea in medicine. Diabetic drugs work not by increasing insulin, but by increasing the receptors to insulin. Glutathione not only increases sensitivity to dopamine, but also to serotonin, which may explain why many of our depressed PD patients have a remarkable improvement.

Glutathione and Vitamin C
As glutathione absorbs free radicals, it becomes oxidized and loses its antioxidant properties. Vitamin C helps to recycle the oxidized glutathione back to its reduced form so that it can continue to act as a powerful free radical quencher.
I used to have ( about 20 yrs ago) a favourite zinc/VitC lozenge which used to pick me up.. maybe that was how
