Core Med Science Liposomal Glutathione Liquid Supplement (500mg, 4 Fl Oz) - Pure Reduced Setria with Phospholipid Complex - Antioxidant Supplement for Energy, Brain Health, Skin & Liver Health

Background:In December of 2021 my liver enzymes spiked 180 ALT 140ish AST. I get liver function tests every 3 months since I (was taking) methotrexate for my RA, otherwise I was not having any symptoms.I was told by my Rheumatologist to stay off of alcohol for 2 weeks and restest. Two weeks later my levels dropped to 86 ALT at 45 AST. Doc said it looks good my levels were improving so I was cleared to resume methotrexate (at a lower dose). I went back to my very casual lifestyle of having a few drinks per week and resumed life as normal. Fast forward two months and my levels went back up to 104/45. At this point I was referred to a hepatologist.I abstained from drinking again for two weeks and when I saw the liver doc, they re-ran bloodwork and my levels dropped again to 74/40, still outside of the normal range. Liver scans showed nothing and my fiber scan showed a little fatty liver and no scaring. Doc told me to stay off drinking and come back in a month. 1 month later (alcohol free) my numbers went up again to 104! At this point I became very upset/frustrated. To spare you too much detail, what we think started this is.Covid in December (very light Covid) caused the initial liver injury leading to the spike. Covid is known to cause hepatitis(inflammation) of the liver. My Bilirubin also is higher than normal so they think my alt/ast levels have been slow to drop potentially because of Gilbert’s Syndrome. Otherwise I did show a previous infection of EBV. I’m suspicious Covid may have reactivated latent EBV as well, but I’m no doctor. 5 months of testing my levels and they would not lower. I found Glutathione when researching ways to suppress viral activity in the body (Covid/EBV etc). After taking this product for 5 weeks, I can report my levels went down to just around normal range! (40 alt/ 26 ast). I’m also taking standard process AF betafood and SP greenfood. I cannot say for sure if my body just healed itself or if it was either supplement, but if you are stuck in the same boat I was, it’s certainly worth a try!!Other notes:The taste is not that badI use a syringe (from my infants Tylenol) to dose in the morning.

I cannot say more good things about this. I am 45 experiencing brain fog, fatigue, night sweats, burn out, terrible sleep and someone told me to take this along with L-Tyrosene in the mornings and i have never felt better. It was immediate, on day one i noticed a HUGE difference. I am always skeptical of supplements and nothing ever works. I went ahead and already ordered my next bottle and getting on subscription of both supplements. I was told that this brand or the quicksilver are the best. The quality matters, there are cheaper options but not sure they would work.

I have CFS and I could write a novel on the doctors/tests/medicines/supplements+vitamins I've tried over the years. Usually, most things I try don't do anything. Occasionally, some things work for a short period of time and then never again (more on this later). Finally, I've found something that seems to actually prevent or decrease the severity of PEM (post exertional malaise).Glutathione is really important for everybody, but especially for people with CFS/ME. One hypothesis is that glutathione dysregulation is a major factor in CFS/ME and other diseases, and many specialists have protocols to specifically increase glutathione. One great way to increase it is by taking a high quality non-denatured whey protein (it contains the precursor for glutathione). However, I unfortunately don't seem to tolerate whey. However, I do tolerate this liposomal glutathione, and I've discovered that if I take 3 doses (3 1/4 teaspoons) at the beginning of a PEM attack, it is either much less severe than normal or never actually happens.Dr. Goldstein, a well respected CFS specialist who pioneered many treatments for CFS mentioned that if he administered at least 1 gram of inositol to his patients, they didn't develop the common phenomena where a treatment would help once and then never again. I'm not sure why this is, but since I've finally found something that seems to help, I've been taking about 2-3 grams of inositol every day, as insurance that it won't stop working.Liposomal glutathione is expensive, and for that reason I'm not taking it every day. But knowing that there is something that I can take when I really need it is really reassuring. It's not a cure by any means, but it makes a really awful symptom less paralyzing.Just as an aside, the company contacted me after I placed my first order (I've since reordered this product several times) to let me know that people with chronic health issues may need to take a higher dose to feel effects. As of now, I'm finding that 3 doses seems to be my sweet spot; you may want to try taking a higher dose if the standard dose doesn't seem to do anything.UPDATE 7/21/2017: I have since reordered this product several times. It makes a huge difference for me to avoid PEM (post exertional malaise) after doing some extra activity. I have recently learned about a probiotic to increase bacteria that actually produce glutathione endogenously. I've been taking it for 2 weeks and am starting to see some improvements. For anyone interested, the probiotic is Lactobacillus Fermentum and this is the one I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/RegActiv-Detox-Liver-Health-Capsules/dp/B00VH4ZSJG/ref=sr_1_9_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1500658901&sr=8-9&keywords=lactobacillus+fermentumReg'Activ Detox & Liver Health, 60 Capsules
