My LLND suggested I add Readisorb Liposomal Glutathione liquid and Quicksilver Scientific Universal toxin binder (which is made up of mostly activated charcoal and bentonite clay) to help with herxing, but both are so pricey! I don’t mind spending the money on them if they will help, so has anyone had experience with either of these products? Are they worth it? Or if not, what are some better alternatives?

I know glutathione can be finicky with absorbtion, so I don’t want to waste money on something more affordable that won’t be effective either, though I’m not sure whether it makes a difference with activated charcoal or bentonite clay.

I use Readisorb. It works.

The only charcoal I've used is Nature's Way. Charcoal does something but not sure how effective it is for binding endotoxins from gram negative bacteria. I doubt it does that well, if at all.

I haven't tried bentonite clay.

I use pure encapsulations liposamal glutathione and I finally found the coconut charcoal. It's made by Bulletproof and is sold at most Whole Foods.

Good to hear about the Readisorb, I’ll probably give it a try. Might you be able to elaborate on the effectiveness of charcoal? I do find it hard to believe that charcoal is really capable of detoxing anything, though I haben’t really looked into the science behind it.

Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and chemicals in the gut, preventing their absorption (2). ... Because activated charcoal is not absorbed by your body, it can carry the toxins bound to its surface out of your body in feces.

Ahh I see, so will any activated charcoal supplement do the trick? It looks fairly affordable in large quantities online so I’m not sure why the Quicksilver Scientific compound is so expensive.

Also, does anything know how the sublingual glutathione sprays compare to the liquid in terms of effectiveness? I just became aware that liposomal glutathione liquids tend to have a very strong taste and odor and often contain flavorings to cover it up, and I’m wary that my mast cells will react to either the smell/odor or the additives as an irritant. I’d like to stay away from mast cell triggers if possible but I also don’t want to sacrifice effectiveness.
