Increased GSH synthesis neutralizes reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and regulates zinc homeostasis promoting neuroprotection after ischemia/reperfusion (162)

Many also lack proper placebo controls, which could mean some benefits come from people feeling hopeful about their treatment rather than the glutathione itself
