Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to see if oral liquid glutathione treatment, has any effect on improving health-related cellular protection, muscle size and strength, and fatigue, weakness, and quality of life in older adults with a history of malnutrition who have been hospitalized. Persons enrolled in this study will be those initially admitted to Emory University Hospital (EUH) in Atlanta, GA, but recovering and ready to be discharged home or to an assisted living facility to eat an oral diet. A combination of nutritional measures, blood markers and imaging tools will assess body composition. Study participants will complete questionnaires about quality of life and physical health, and do simple testing for physical strength and stamina. Information from this pilot study will increase understanding of a simple intervention which may prevent or reduce health risks related to hospital recovery in older adults.
