GSH: Since you have family members with Vitiligo, you will have ahigher chance of developing Vitiligo compared to the general population. Oral Glutathione gets broken down by stomach Hcl and only a small fraction gets absorbed, By the time it gets to the skin, there is negligible amounts remaining. So GSH pills are not going to give much benefit.
