A method for increasing the presence of glutathione in cells including treating or preventing impaired liver function by administering a composition which includes a precursor of gluthathione, and enhancer of glutathione biosynthesis, and a third component which is a lignan or the third component is a combination of an enhancer of gluthathione regeneration and an enhancer of glutathione-mediated conjugation. The precursor of gluthathione is cysteine or is a functional equivalent of cysteine which yields cysteine when administered to a mammal undergoing treatment.

1. A method of increasing the presence of glutathione in cells including treating or reducing the risk of impaired liver function by administering to a mammal in the need thereof a composition which contains at least one of each of the following components:a) a precursor of glutathione which is selected from the group consisting of cysteine and functional equivalents of cysteine which yield cysteine when administered to said mammal, said cysteine being administered in an amount of at least 100 mg cysteine per day, wherein cysteine is calculated as free amino acid, or said functional equivalent of cysteine is administered in an amount which yields at least 100 mg of cysteine per day wherein cysteine is calculated as free amino acid; b) an enhancer of glutathione biosyntlesis containing apocynin or an analogue of apocynin which enhances glutathione biosynthesis; and c) a third component which is a combination c1) of an enhancer of glutathione regeneration and c2) of an enhancer of glutathione-mediated conjugation.
