GLUTATHIONE

[Hoppi]

Ugh although to be honest out of ALL the supplements I take... NAC is the one that makes me feel bad after taking it >.<

Either I'm taking too much (quite possible actually) or I should just try to find natural sources of a glutathione boost, such as watermelons and avocados. I think I'll probably do that

Ive never felt better since taking Acetyl-glutathione. Back pain from inflamation due to a degenerated disc has been eliminated completely.

Its the best $90 a month Ive ever spent....

lakota..never saw that particular glutathione topical..wonder how it smells? There's also this Protect 120 product: http://martinavenueshops.com/proddetail.asp?prod=1891 ...but it looks to be transdermal. I've still thought about putting it on my scalp.

Does the MaxGL product actually contain Acetyl-glutathione? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong product..the one I see says it's D-Ribose-L-Cysteine and that it "is shown to be to be 300% more effective than NAC (N-acetyl-l-cysteine) in raising liver glutathione levels".

Any of these would be better than "watermelons and avocados" ..especially if you're really looking to boost the glut(make it rhyme). I think even NAC would be better I'm going to take the Acetyl-Glutathione for awhile..then maybe take it less often..rotate with this http://www.iherb.com/Healthy-Origins...les/17353?at=0 (maybe even a smaller amount) or with another cysteine peptide product once I'm done with the Swanson one I'm on. Or maybe even MaxGL.

heh, well, I know simply eating glutathione boosting foods isn't as powerful as supplementation, but it depends just how much glutathione you're aiming to create and how important it is you quickly make loads more of it!

I would like to ensure a good amount in my body, but it's not my primary concern

I guess that one is also Acetyl-glutathione...so nevermind about the smell. The ones I had seen were: http://www.wildernessmedicine.com/St...%2CProductName

A bit more on A-G:

Acetyl Glutathione - Glutathione is the most important antioxidant internally manufactured by the human body itself. Levels in the body are depleted by many factors such as poor nutrition and chronic illness (such as infections or cancer). In the past it was impossible to increase levels in the body by supplementing with regular glutathione. However, acetyl-glutathione is an effective oral and topical supplement for increasing the body stores of this vital substance, and is more effective than lipoic acid or N-acetyl cysteine for increasing these body stores. Many people notice an immediate improvement in energy and in immune function as a result. It has been found that acetyl glutathione is well-absorbed by the skin and mouth. Once in the body it is transported to all tissues of the body. There it has remarkable anti-aging effects, anti-viral effects, anti-inflammatory effects, and in some studies an effect on some cancers. More and more is being discovered about this remarkable compound.

Their topical containing it is called "Plastic Surgery in a Bottle" :http://www.facetofaceesthetics.com/S...-Skincare.html

A guru in another forum who stated OSR is no longer available is incorrect. Checking some sources I posted awhile back in another forum..I see at least two that still have some available: http://www.forresthealth.com/osr.html

http://www.akhilhealthfoods.com/enla...d=391&pid=1855

I still have I think 2 boxes of the capsules left. Hmmm..a trade for some Acetyl-glutathione?

OSR#1® is a toxicity free, lipid soluble antioxidant dietary supplement that helps maintain a healthy glutathione level. OSR#1® does so by scavenging ROS (free radicals) thereby salvaging the naturally produced glutathione. Both OSR#1® and glutathione scavenge free radicals, allowing the body to maintain its own natural detoxifying capacity.

A response I got from Boyd Haley when asking how it compared to something like liposomal glutathione(Livonlabs' etc) :

The OSR works differently and is not metabolized by the cells of the body. We know that OSR enters cells where it scavenges the hydroxyl radicals that destroys glutathione and other vitamins as well as the cell membrane. In doing this OSR preserves the glutathione that is naturally made by the body. We have the data that shows OSR maintains a healthy glutathione level in those suffering from oxidative stress. Any glutathione that enters the blood stream by any process will be rapidly removed by the bilary transport system of the liver, OSR has a blood half life of 6-7 hours, much longer than most antioxidants. OSR also has one of the highest ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) scores of any antioxidant. I don't have any objections to liposomal glutathione but don't know how well it works. We do know that OSR is very stable on storage at room temperature and that its pharmacokinetics show effective delivery and removal from all cells of tissues tested.

Jacob,

Actually youre right is has the D-Ribose in it which may be better than Acetyl. My chiro got me started on the MAx GL, I only see him about every 5 weeks now where before I had to see him about every 2 weeks. My back and joints have never felt better, well maybe when I was 20 Im really sold on this ****...

Well I'll keep it on my list of "to try"'s.

On that Protectus 120..if anyone is interested in that..there's this healthy aging/life organization that is offering that and the skin care products with a "donation"(The Maximum Life Foundation is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Check with your tax advisor for a tax deduction if you receive premiums) to the group. Donate $100- get $314 worth of products..etc. A tube of Protectus runs $90-$100. Now I'm assuming some of that $314 is for the LEF membership(http://www.lef.org/) and other things.

Edit..came back for the link and realized I didn't post it- http://www.maxlife.org/donate.asp

Here's the cheapest I've found the product otherwise..so far: http://www.ecologicalinnovationsllc....in-a-Tube.html

On a SOD note..I see that Extramel SOD(may be a good choice for those with gluten/gliadin intolerance..instead of GliSODin) will be easier to obtain: http://www.sodline.com/ More info here: http://www.bionov.com/

Any good lipomosal glutathione out there? Getting really interested into Free radicals- androgen theory lately .. I am taking Nutricology CysteinePEP, Glisodin R-ALA, MSM right now to boost it.. Tried NAC in the past..not a big fan.Any suggestion topically or lipomosal?
