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

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

I've been taking this in treatment of chronic lyme disease. Two experiences without it for a number of days allow me to say how much better I feel when I'm taking it. Overall energy is a factor but it seems specifically the energy in my muscles. We were recently camping and I thought I had lost this product and the liposomal C which I also take. After 2 days the muscle soreness and 'vibrations' (lyme people know what this means) were coming back full force and I knew the camping trip would be shot if I didn't get some asap. Went to a local library to use the internet and got a one day order to a nearby restaurant ( kudos belong to Amazon: for getting me a one day order made after 4pm by 2 pm the next day in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin!). Anyway, my husband found the bottles I had packed and within 24 hours I was feeling much better and the muscle fatigue had returned to the former low level. This was a carbon copy experience to the first time when I had forgotten to take them for 3 or 4 days. Same creeping symptoms, same resolution upon resuming. Love this product although it is pricey, it has justified its cost to me. Also love the vitamin C product and the whole liposomal delivery method. And it doesn't taste yucky either.

I've suffered from chronic fatigue for several years now. My Dr put me on a stimulant to help counteract it. The stimulant works ok, but it's not the kind of thing that I want to be on long-term. Then, about a month and a half ago I developed mono. Nothing could help my fatigue. My prescription stimulant wasn't working and my Dr gave me another stimulant to add to it. Still, with two prescription stimulants onboard, my mono had me completely wiped out. I read that glutathione injections can help patients with mono. I asked my Dr about it and she had never heard of it, so on a whim I tried this. I'm on my second bottle of it and it's worth every penny. My fatigue from mono is better and my chronic fatigue seems better. I'm hoping that this will allow me to go off of the prescription stimulants that I hate taking.One thing to note, this stuff smells horrible. It has a really strong sulphur smell. It doesn't taste nearly as bad as it smells though. I mix it with a little tart cherry juice and take it like a shot. I have a nasty sulphur aftertaste in my mouth, but I'll take about anything to not feel so tired all of the time.The customer service from this company is AMAZING! They reached out to me the day that I received my initial bottle and asked if i had any questions. I told them that I was hoping that this would help with my mono and they responded back right away saying that some patients should and safely can take up to 8 doses a day. They recommended that I increase my dose and so I did. They also said that it is safe to combine your doses. You don't want to have to remember to pull this stuff put 8x a day and since they recommend that you take it on an empty stomach and early in the day, so it doesn't interfere with sleep, it would be near impossible to dose that way. I now take 4 doses first thing in the morning and another 4 doses early afternoon. That seems to work for me. I'm going through it much faster that way, but my health is definitely worth the benefits that I'm seeing.

I have only been taking this product for about 1.5 weeks so I have not noticed any physical effects. Also, I am not taking it to treat any ailment. I am in good health and I am taking this product because it is very good for you. I will say that this product has a very unpleasant sulfur smell and taste. Just make sure you take a dose and immediately drink a lot of liquid to get the unpleasant taste out of your mouth. Orange juice or some beverage with strong flavor would be best to cover the nasty taste. This company makes good products, so I am ok with the unpleasant taste...especially if is good for my health. All the supplements I take are to maintain good health.
