Silymarin is supposed to increase the efficiency with which glutathione is
recycled.
You can buy L-glutathione supplements from health food stores, but I'm not
sure how effective they are (tends to get digested before reaching the
bloodstream I think). Taking alpha-lipoic acid and N-Acetyl-Cysteine (a
precursor) might boost GSH levels. There is a product called Thiodox by
Nutricology that is a combination of all three.
Dr Cheney has done some work on undenatured Whey and Glutathione:

The product he suggests is ImmunoPro, but I'm sure there are others.
