I get emails from this lady. This article explains sauna detox, which is confusing to many. I thought it was a good article and others might find it helpful. I thought she gave a balanced view of the benefits, as a lot of claims have yet to be scientifically studied and validated.

You’re welcome! I use glutathione daily but have not had the option of using sauna. The nearest one is about an hour away. I do hope to try it at some point, even if I have to buy one. The good ones are a huge investment, though.

Having a home sauna would be so nice but like you said it's a huge investment, maybe someday, I am lucky that I have a YMCA with a sauna only a couple miles from my house, it's not an Infrared one but it's defiantly better than nothing. Do you notice any benefits from taking glutathione? I'm pretty sure that I have high glutamate levels would taking glutathione help me with that? I am pretty sensative to medicine and supplements did you experience any side effects when starting it. Thanks again for the info!

I can say that oral glutathione has never made me feel better. Most of the time, I don’t notice anything from it. There are occasions when I can tell it’s flushing toxins, as I will have to urinate soon after and have pain with urination. I’m not well versed in regards to glutamate, but suspect it may be a mild to moderate issue for me. I have never done IV glutathione, and probably never will. I am sure it would do me more harm than good.

Like you said hopfully it is flushing out some toxins even if you can not feel a noticeable difference from taking it. I will probably give it a try, especially since I have the MTHFR mutation I have heard that it can be good for that!

This is interesting.
I remember reading that NIR was better than FIR... Who knows.
I love the regular finnish sauna, it's too bad I no longer have one close to where I live.
Setting up a diy NIR sauna shouldn't be a huge investment.

Here's an article I found about GSH and infrared saunas - interesting. I broke down and bought one about 3 years ago and I spent a lot of time in it this summer. I definitely feel the difference when I am using it regularly.
Glutathione is what many LLMD's call "the mother of all antioxidants" and is responsible for maintaining/supporting a healthy immune system reducing oxidative stress. NAC is the precursor to glutahione and helps our bodies make more on their own. You can also get it in foods that we eat. Our bodies produce they're own glutathione but that production can be depleted with chronic illnesses, poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, and just aging. It's also poorly absorbed through the gut which is why liposomal works better. I also do a glutahione push at the end of an ozone treatment or nutritional IV. I'll have to try it before the sauna...I'll let you guys know what if any difference I find!

Thanks for the article upbeetliving! How much Glutathione do you take per day, I am hoping to start it soon?

The best way to increase glutathione is coffee enemas. Oral and IV never did anything for me

Thanks jb1994! I found this information online...
"Replacing glutathione is not as simple as taking a glutathione containing supplement. Ideally you want your body to make its own glutathione. It’s essential to make sure that your method delivers the antioxidant efficiently to your cells. Some good supplements included...
Glutathione/ATP injections
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)
selenium
B vitamins
alpha lipoic acids
Has anyone ever tried any of these other supplements before? I have been reading that it's hard for your body to process straight glutathione so it's best to take a supplement that makes glutathione but even if you go that route it could take up to a year to raise your glutathione levels, it's all so confusing! Do you think taking L-glutathione before going in the sauna would have any benefit?

NAC I take as well, it takes time to build up, about a month before you see benefits. So far I haven't noticed anything and I've been on it about 3 weeks now. Also on B vitamins and haven't noticed anything either
