Does Glutathione Cream Enhance Sense of Smell?

[jimcaster]

It's likely placebo effect, but I have been rubbing glutathione cream on my nose, particularly the tip of my nose. I sincerely believe my admittedly terrible sense of smell is slightly improved. Has anyone else tried this?

My smell and.taste returned about 4 months of taking Mannitol., 1 tsp daily.

Thanks. I tried mannitol briefly, but got very gassy. I may try again.

I moved taking it to the evening and the daytime has stopped. Who knows what happens in the night!

[jimcaster in reply to Smokeypurple]

Good idea!

Try taking smaller amt through out day- it’s worth it! I use in smoothie and coffee and tea- none of which I gulp down in one solid session.

Jim,

I believe that topical glutathione can potentially have skin lightening effects if it is in its reduced state, but probably not all that potent, but worth paying attention for that type of reaction over time.
