glutathione and what it does

[lusty]

I'm going to try it in my IV drip I am getting tomorrow, if it is good I might get some from Korea and just pin in subQ or do you guys go IM?

I do subq

Using Korean Glut myself. While Subq was never spicy going in, I definitely felt the injection site for a couple days after. Switching to IM cleared that up with no issues at all.

 

[PinKushn]

Yes on the nad, just to be on the safe side. South Korea glut is what I use, pharma grade glut and Ascorbic acid from them also

Wondering if you prefer the Glutaone or the Luthione? I grabbed the Glutaone on my first purchase. I see the Luthione shows the medical manufacturer while I guess the Glutaone would be considered "generic" made?

Well, below is a study released this week. I hate to be "that guy" but this is worth reading. It would appear that glutathione cuts both ways:

Just to add to that there are a couple of studies in rodents where they block the enzyme making glutathione , causing low levels of it long term, and they live for longer. Not sure there is an explanation for it yet.

I inject 100mg with vitamin c subq every morning. More than 1 year ago someone suggested it to reduce migraines. It worked to decrease them by 75% When I am out of injectable I take capsules. Oral 1500 mg per day has the same effect. Oral is not absorbed well that is why I take much more when that's all I have.

I have been doing something similar the last year, I kept having fatty liver issues show up on labs and it hasn’t been a problem since I started a IM glut+c protocol. Glad it has helped with your migraines too!

As a side note: my skin looks amazing as well, it works as a skin brightner.

There are Korean Luthione , Chinese factory glutathione and there are also Chinese pharm grade glutathione that grey vendors distribute too

Aint that just typical, when you start the health Journey of your life to avoid cancer an s**t then studies like this all of a sudden appears.

Glutathione have so much good things it does for the body. But that cancer always find a way to torment humanity.

And you never know you have it until its late in the process grr.

Another peptide to avoid then.

I don't see in the study that it causes cancer? Just says cancer uses it to feed the tumors. Same as other peps do. Did I miss something??

You probably grow a couple of new cancer cells most days, more as you get older, thankfully most never do anything much or get killed off by your immune system, so anything that makes them grow better could be an issue.

 

[nnnnnaaaaa]

Probably better to take the precursors orally , glutathione does not get into cells very easily where it is needed due to its size. NAC ( n-acetyl cysteine ) will increase cellular glutathione levels as will NAC plus glycine. Cheaper easier and probably more effective.

what NAC dose are you running? it hurts my teeth so I'm eyeballing capsules ATM

 

[Hotlongs]

I would really love to know more about S Acetyl Glutathione vs Liposomal Glutathione. I have heard SALG is the most bioavailable form while reduced glutathione gets broken down in your body before it can properly manage anything.

Something someone mentioned:

"Studies show reduced glutathione was starkly raised in its usual target tissues and organs through direct function, and whatever amount gets broken down (as most amino based things are when taken orally) is still able to be used to provide basic resources for raising glutathione even more.

All in all, it’s a solid and cheap way to get the benefits you’d normally see reserved for liposomal products and I.V. without the side-effects that can accompany both "

This is unsubstantiated but I have also heard s-acetyl glutathione has bioavailability that is so high that it even gets past the blood brain barrier.

 

[FarmgirlRebel]

Interesting. My understanding is Glutathione with an acetyl group attached protects it after ingestion, so it's more stable when taken orally. The info on reduced is the same as yours, it gets broken down in the gut.

Interesting about the blood brain barrier though.

I just purchased a bunch of Glutathione, which I'm planning on injecting, so it is reduced as it's not subject to gastric breakdown.

I have these same ones.

Wow! This is encouraging. Congrats on the migraine solution!!

My naturopath thinks that I need a high dose vitamin c protocol and also some liver support for possible MCAS etc. I also have nearly daily headaches that are migraine class but not debilitating w/ aura. I am intrigued and will try it soon! How much vitamin C do you take alongside? Do you inject the vitamin C as well?

I reconstitute 1200 mg glutithione with 1 500 mg. ampule of injectable vitamin c. I also add sterile water. The glutathione, ampule of C, and the sterile water all come in a kit. I dilute the glutathione so 50 units gives 100 mg. That concentration does not normally sting when injecting sub q.

Ok thank you so much! I just ordered some but will look into the kit on the next round.

@swimmer Is it reconned using only sterile water? No bac water? I want to make sure I understand.

Sterile water and ascorbic acid. No bac.
