Glutathione

A LLND sold me a bottle (liquid) and when I took the lid off and smelled it - I gagged.

I never did take it.

Lol - not much help am I.

i have taken reduced glutathione in doses of 500mg or 1000mg / day for extended periods without really noticing any great effect - then stopped as it's expensive and did not justify the expense for me.

the form I took was Swanson's L-Glutathione - not the liposomal version that Dr H likes ( even more expensive ) -

of course, others may have different exp

I am in any case supplementing with NAC about 2.6g / day
and ALA - around 600mg / day
so I reasoned I am already supplementing that detox route
also taking MSM which aids detox and may contribute

I also take vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin A which are all part of this same cascade and supposed to help recycle these anti-oxidants

the reason I tried it was Dr H's book and the fact that I had an OAT test showing extremely low levels of Glutathione, oxidative damage etc

Your question is interesting because I hear glutathione mentioned constantly online and from the LLMDs (and even non-LLMDs) I have seen. But I don't often hear about any "great experiences," more often people saying they either don't notice a difference or feel worse initially as it mobilizes toxins. I also would be interested to hear from folks who have found it noticeably helpful.

I am guessing when the doctors rave about glutathione, they may be thinking mostly of IV, which is much more potent. They are also likely thinking of the science behind it. Glutathione is essential for detox, and toxic people are deficient. Even after 3 years of taking it, my levels were zero on the OAT test I had last summer.

I think there may be sulfur issues with some people. Also, people with mercury toxicity or heavy metals may have issues feeling worse from glutathione, especially with IV.

When I first started taking it (3 tsp Readisorb), I definitely felt worse - burning, toxin pain in my tissues, urinary urgency and pain shortly after taking it. My body was dumping toxins, and I was very mold sick.

Even now, I will feel worse when I take it if I have missed a few doses. I should take higher doses, but I can’t afford it. I would maybe be willing to try IV now, but again, $$$.
