Glutathione herx?

Yes, glutathione can make a person herx. From my understanding it's because it flushes toxins out - and if the detox pathways of the body get overloaded, those toxins will circulate in the blood and be redeposited elsewhere in the body.

We have had several posts from those that have herxed on glutathione lately.

Well, considering the glutathione was the catalyst for this, I would say that it was stored toxins. We know that glutathione helps the liver push out more toxins, and helps to detox the entire body through the liver pathway.

Combined with the lack of your regular exercise, it does make sense that it created a herx in you. I'm so sorry for that - but in a way, it's a good thing, as you know the glutathione is working for you.

That's a good idea. As you are able to detox your body more, you should be able to take 2 a day later on. That's the theory anyway! LOL! Some of us may never be able to tolerate "aggressive" detoxing, so take it slow and see what your body tolerates.

I read a few studies that glutothione also helps the macrophages secrete toxins lile QUIN. Acid which can damage your tissues but helps in killing pathogens. It basically helps immunity and the ridding of toxins.
