Can you give me some Glutathione products that you have found helpful?
I may try IV, but am looking for something cheaper at the moment.

I have a bottle of N-A-C Sustain which is a time-release pre-cursor to glutathione.
You're supposed to take on an empty stomach and I keep forgetting to work it in my day.
I've never noticed a difference when I do take it, but maybe it takes a while for it to work.
But I know people here talk about how good they feel after their IV so maybe the tablets are supposed to work right away too.
If so, they're not working for me.

glut pills do not work, the inhaled type is of very minimal benefit.
suppositories are a cheaper alternative to IV and work well, maybe even better because the spike in IV is higher but short lived where as a suppository is constant if taken every day or other day.
they are about 5 bucks if compounded.
like marz said NAC is prob the best precursor, but sam-e and whey protein work as well. i wouldn't take any precursor with a glut supp as it will compete and may not work as well.
your a girl, so you're one step ahead of the game as far as glut production.

Droid tell me more about why glutathione in the inhaled version is of minimal benefit?
I know about suppositories and IV. Just wanted feedback on the nebulizer.

Asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione! Eat it a little olive oil, garlic...

Inhaled glutathione has a local benefit as far as inflammation in the lungs but doesn't get absorbed well into the blood, neither do orals. There is also a lot lost during evaporation when nebulized.
I've used all 4. IV and suppositories are obvious in their benefit.

Hmmmm. I just got back from the health food store. I'm glad I didn't buy any orals. I will try the suppositories before going to IVs.
I also looked at a book to find the best food sources. There was not much, so it's good to know that asparagus is high in this.

Oral Glutathione has traditionally been known to be poorly absorbed.
However, in Acetyl-Glutathione form, it is supposed to be well-absorbed from the digestive tract. I don't think this form has been available for long.
It is expensive, but I have been taking it for several months now and it seems to work well.

How about transdermal??
I used this for my daughter, retested, and it worked!
If interested, I would be happy to good look around her room for the exact type.

Life Wave Y-Age Glutathione patch works like acupuncture . It is not transdermal but stimulates the body to produce glutathione. It is expensive but each patch can be used for 48 hours. After you take it off the first time, you need some tape to keep it on to use it again.

How does it stimulate the body to produce glutathione? How many patches in a box? do you think these patches are better than the transdermal glut? What effects did you notice from it?
thanks

How about liposomal?

Many chronic fatigue folks have found that supplementing glutathione does not help or makes things worse, but supporting the cycle that makes glutathione (the methylation cycle) brings considerable relief:
It is all supplements - mainly hydroxy/methyl cobalamin (b12) and methyfolate (you may have heard of the name brand Deplin but it is generic now as well) as well as folinic acid

I was thinking about this... Is it really true that nebulized glutathione doesn't get absorbed well into the blood? Are there any studies about this or is it just personal experience?
I'm curious about this. I'm going to study it further later...
I guess I was thinking about people who smoke - they do get high from marijuana being inhaled into the lungs or with people who smoke cigarettes... I suppose the nicotine goes into the blood from that, too.
These are different chemicals than glutathione but it was something I was thinking about.
