I should also say that I use NAC, which is a bioavailable form of one of the three precursors of glutathione, and it has been as close to a miracle supplement or silver bullet as I can identify. I witnessed it work and reduce oxidative stress in my body when I noticed that my shaking or body tremor would dissipate when I would take one at lunch and return at night when I didn't take one, but then went away at night too when I took a second one with dinner. Quite amazing actually!

Hi David,

If you don't mind sharing ...how many Mg's of NAC do you take?

Thanks,

Cliffman

Of course, Cliffman.

I take the NAC in the Now brand supplements, which is your typical 600 mg. It also has very little Selenium and Molybdenum. I don't usually take Now since they have additives, this one has stearic and citric acid, but I've not been able to find one that has this combination with nothing added. Basically, this has worked so well, I don't want to change to a pure NAC one. For all I know the other two ingredients, the Selenium and Molybdenum are helping too. And they are useful supplements also.

Hope this helps.

I had two glutathione IV's and was taking oral liposomal glutathione and can tell you the results were NOT GOOD. My legs started feeling weird and I started having trouble walking. I am trying to figure out if it was from detoxing the high lead levels I have or just from the sulfur in the glutathione. I may have a CBS mutation that leads to a build up of sulfur. I am trying to get that figured out now. Just be careful with this stuff until you figure out how you are going to react to it. Start SLOWLY. And yes, it does taste bad, that is from the sulfur.

Thank you for this. I was planning on starting very slowly, as I do with all supplements, but especially powerful ones like this one. I did come across this list of potential side effects too, though they're not particularly well based on studies: http://www.immunehealthscience.com/g...e-effects.html. But some of them make intuitive sense at any rate and for that's worth.

I hope you're better now that you came off it. I'd be interested to know what your investigations turns up. Also, would you share the brand you used?

Come to think of it, NAC is often used to post glutathione in the body, being the most important component, so I'm wondering if that's what I've been doing all along for the last several months and that's why I've been improving (at least as a partial reason) by taking NAC. Interesting. I'm still going to try the glutathione, but now I'm curious what will happen as I take both, since I won's top taking the NAC.

I've been using topical glutathione for a about 1 month. I get it via IV on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if helps or not.

It was Readi Sorb brand I got from my Integrative doctor's office. It is powerful stuff. I know it does wonders for some people. Just not me.

Right. Of course. Thanks for the brand. Looked it up and it's pretty much like the IV For Life one with the exception that the former is soy based whereas the latter is sunflower based. I'll update the thread when I've tried it. I'll start off slow.
