I've had a search through past posts to try and find out if this afternoon's sudden onset of drowsiness in my son is related to him trying Tri-Fortify Liposomal Glutathione for the first time. He took it before lunch today then we went out, had some lunch and a short walk and he's come home and fallen asleep.

He's generally been doing well - still following a triple antibiotic regimen (rifampin/azithromycin/switched from doxcycline to minocycline last week) with herbal supplements and his LLMD suggested adding in this to help boost his energy levels. I wondered what others' experiences were to see if it is related before he takes it again another day.

Thanks for your thoughts

I can’t comment on the glutathione as I’ve not taken it before.

Is it possible that the switch to mino is affecting your son?
Mino has good penetration of blood brain barrier and when I first went on it - I felt head stuff - off balance and just felt “off”.

Hi, I have really hard time taking lipsomal glutathione. It makes me feel way worse - it is terrible. Does your son have a difficult time with other detox methods? I am a terrible detoxer so I think that is my issue with it. Have you ever read Dr Nathan’s ‘Toxic’ book? He mentions in it that glutathione can be difficult to take if a person has detoxing issues / is too toxic. I have been working with a doctor that has trained under him and she had me back on glutathione but only taking one drop (as opposed to half a tsp or whatever the dosage was). I was able to tolerate one drop and have slowly increased the drops but there is still no way I could take the dosage that it states on the bottle. The doctor also mentioned some people can’t even handle a drop and have to start with a tiny amount on a tooth pick and go up from there.

This probably isn't it, but if you're reactive to soy, I believe most liposomal glutathione is made with soy lecithin.

Thanks for your thoughts.
He has had some side effects of the mino and it could be that rather than the glutathione.

We’ll try again another day and see if the same thing happens and perhaps reduce the amount as a way of seeing if it’s detox related.

Sadly not that he’s ever shown before - I did wonder but then know I cook with soy and he’s not shown any reaction before. Thanks though

The lipo glutathione is a stage 2 liver detox, good in the long run for healing and energy. But inititally it is probably a detox reaction that is slowing him down. Maybe just reduce the dose.

Thanks auzzie. He decided not to take any after two very tired days. It may have been a herx reaction to the minocycline or he wonders if it’s his body as much later in the day he had a burst of energy that was unexpected. He reminded me that ‘pre-lyme’ he had that kind of reaction to caffeine where he was very tired after consuming it but then had a late night buzz. Who knows!
We decided to skip today and then rethink the time of day he takes it as a test in addition to a lower the dose.

I think you are right. His liver is doing enough right now tackling the lyme herx. You an introduce the Lipo G as he picks up a little more. All the best,
