Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate the effect of different doses of PRUVIN® (N-acetylcysteine \[NAC\] and glycine) on reduced glutathione levels in healthy elderly subjects

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled 4-arm study-design, to assess the safety, tolerability and effect of PRUVIN® on reduced glutathione levels in healthy elderly (age 60-85 years) subjects.

In addition, baseline values of glutathione precursors, glutathione, and plasma markers of oxidative stress in a healthy young cohort (non-interventional) will be compared with those of the healthy elderly cohort (interventional).
