Same warning applies to taking too much Vit C, if you are low in
glutathione. GSH is required to recycle Vit C from the oxidised form and,
if you take only vit C without addresing glutathione deficiency, you may
worsen your glutathione problem.
Not sure if I mentioned this before, but taking undenatured whey is reported
to be quite effective in restoring glutathione levels. The stuff commonly
available from health food stores as a body-building supplement has been
heat-treated, and isn't very effective. You can buy ImmunoPro from NEEDS,
or the LEF (www.lef.org) does a version (slightly weaker).
Start off with a low dose and work cautiously up. There is a transcript of
a workshop by Dr Paul Cheney discussing the use of whey at:

I believe Selenium is also required to make one of the key enzymes, so make
sure you get enough of that (not much more than 200mcg a day - toxic in
large doses).

Laeeth.
