Glutathione Supplement
Following is correspondence from a reader who has the symptoms of Parkinsons that I thought would be of interest to many people.

Hi Robert
I’ve listened to the interviews on your Pioneers of Recovery recordings. In one of the interviews, your guest is recommending a new formula of Glutathione, available on a website www.readisorb.com. I’ve tried this Liposomal Glutathione now for 3 weeks with great results. After 1st time taking it, Immediately my energy level has doubled, my mind got much clearer and the off period is reduced. and I feel very relaxed. It feels like going back from stage 3.5 to stage 2 on the PD scale.
Liposome penetrates mucosal tissues allowing for rapid release into the blood stream. Nutrients that are not in liposomes have to pass through the stomach to reach the liver where they are metabolized and released into the bloodstream. Some nutrients are destroyed or compromised by stomach acids. Liposomes avoid the digestive system.
I tried a few other formulas of Glutathione but no comparison with the Liposomal.
I think the Liposomal Glutathione should be introduced on your website for all to benefit from.
Sugit


There’s also the Livonlab’s version. Comes in individual packets. Smells like rotten eggs but the taste is tolerable.
I don’t have Parkinson’s myself, but do have a family member who does. Interesting site here.
Dear Sugit;
It sounds like you have found a very effective way to raise blood serum levels of glutathione ( GSH). Intravenous administration has a similar effect, since as you mention they bypass the digestive system. Both methods have achieved excellent results.
Some of the the drawbacks with these two methods is a short half life, and so needs to be taken more often.
When you supply the body with the precursors, or bonded cysteine, then the cells will manufacture GSH intracellularly. It would only need to be taken once a day, and you would also find that GSH goes up in the lymphocytes as well as the blood serum. If you find benefits from Liposomal Glutathione, then surely you would find even better results from a bonded cysteine supplement such as Immunocal. The best part is there are published studies available so one can be sure of it’s efficacy.
Best Regards,
Laura
Hi Robert,
What evidence based peer reviewed scientific articles are there that glutathione crosses the blood brain barrier ? Thank you MB
Hi MB:
This is a great question which I do not have the answer to at my finger tips. It will take several days to identify the articles and several more days to dig into them to ascertain the consensus from the research. I am afraid I do not have enough time for that project this month, but will put the question on my calendar. Anyone else out there have any evidence at their fingertips that speaks to this question?
I interviewed Steve Fowkes recently who had the following insights about the value of glutathoine in the body.

Love this thread developing on research to understand glutathione and the role it plays in health! The question on the blood brain barrier PUBLISHED RESEARCH is a great one and I look forward to Dr. Rodger’s findings in that area.
The significance of the research of Dr. Keller (with MaxGXL and N-Fuze) related to Glutathione is that it will stimulate more clinical and translational research that can only lead to better answers for the Parkinson’s community. As for my husband and I – we have witnessed the anecdotal results that mean Dr. Keller’s patented formula can and does cross the blood brain barrier. Now we look forward to scientists verifying our hypotheses related to healing of the brain, driving continual development of the best NATURAL sources of supplements with public access.
None of this is about “money” or “promotions” – just human lives working together to solve the mysteries of LIFE!
