Liposomal Glutathione Plus Dr. Lynch Q&AUpdated 3 hours ago

Hi Jen -

We should all be using glutathione either daily or a few times a week.

The amount of exposures we have in a given day is absurd.

Consider:

• Glutathione Plus Lozenges: I prefer this one over the liposomal as it tastes great, less mess and you feel it quickly. You may want 1/2 to 1 lozenge upon waking and then another 1/2 to 1 lozenge on an as-needed basis - depending on your activities and exposures (such as airplane travel, being stuck in traffic, hard intense exercise, exposed to chlorine from a hot tub or pool, etc)

• Liver Nutrients: 1 capsule after dinner

• sauna - https://www.seekinghealth.com/blogs/education/sauna-benefits-how-to-guide

Hi Adrian -

I highly recommend watching this video on a fast CBS gene -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZxjLxnByco

If you order the StrateGene Report, you can also see what makes your fast CBS gene slower - and faster.

The key is knowing if it's fast epigenetically - not just genetically.

What symptoms are you experiencing? That's the key here.

Post a follow up question expanding on what you're struggling with and we'll go from there.

Best,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Colette -

I'm glad you're aware that you need to support yourself with glutathione. I'm sorry you're in this situation.

A couple things:

• Magnesium carbonate is a poor form of magnesium. Citrate and ascorbate is good - but if tablets then I doubt you're digesting them.
• Calcium carbonate is also poor - especially if tablets.
• Magnesium oxide is also very poorly absorbed which is why it's useful for constipation. If you need it to support a healthy bowel movement, then that's good otherwise it's ineffective.*
• You want either chewables, powder or capsules when it comes to magnesium or calcium. The forms of malate, citrate, glycinate are the best forms of both cal and mag.

In terms of glutathione, I highly recommend the Glutathione Plus Lozenges over our liposomal forms. I find that the lozenges are superior in effectiveness.

Consider taking 1 full lozenge a few times a day or more depending on the exposure.

Keep in mind that too much glutathione can cause headaches so if you're getting headaches which are new, it may be due to taking too much glutathione so reduce the amount and possibly the frequency as well.

I'd also add:

• Optimal Electrolyte: 3 servings a day as chlorine is very dehydrating - and there is 100 mg of magnesium malate per serving in here, too.

I'm glad you're taking Taurine and Fish Oil - well done.

Best to you,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Jackson -

Yes - that's likely how it depletes the glutathione actually - by damaging it.

The best way to support that is to:

• find an alternative to NSAIDs
• support with glutathione

Consider:

• Optimal Electrolyte: hydration is key for blood flow and circulation overall which supports a healthy response to pain.* Consider 1 to 3 servings a day
• Fish Oil: 1 capsule after dinner to support a healthy inflammatory response.*
• Liposomal Glutathione Plus: 1 full serving in the morning upon waking.* Hold it in your mouth for a few moments, then swallow.
• Joint Nutrients: if experiencing joint pain and you want to support healthy joints, consider 1 capsule before bed and 1 capsule upon waking.* After 1 week, you may find you only need 1 capsule before bed.
• Liver Nutrients: 1 capsule after dinner

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Soujanya -

Here you go - ask your doctor if they can read:

• Low-Dose Naltrexone in Rheumatological Diseases - PMC - NCBI
• Low dose naltrexone: Effects on medication in rheumatoid and seropositive arthritis. A nationwide register-based controlled quasi-experimental before-after study
• A Review on the Benefits of Low-Dose Naltrexone in Arthritis versus Other Conditions
• 7 Things To Know About Low-Dose Naltrexone for Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Pilot Study of Low-dose Naltrexone for the Treatment of Chronic Pain Due to Arthritis: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Clinical Trial
• Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is Now Being Prescribed for Rheumatoid Arthritis

"In persistent LDN users, there was a 13% relative reduction in cumulative defined daily doses (DDD) of all medicines examined corresponding to -73.3 DDD per patient (95% CI -120,2 to -26.4, p = 0.003), and 23% reduction of analgesics (-21.6 DDD (95% CI -35.5 to -7.6, p<0.009)). There was no significant DDD change in patients with lower LDN exposure. Persistent LDN users had significantly reduced DDDs of NSAID and opioids, and a lower proportion of users of DMARDs (-6.7 percentage points, 95% CI -12.3 to-1.0, p = 0.028), TNF-α antagonists and opioids. There was a decrease in the number of NSAID users among patients with the least LDN exposure. Important limitations are that prescription data are proxies for clinical effects and that a control group unexposed to LDN is lacking. The results support the hypothesis that persistent use of LDN reduces the need for medication used in the treatment of rheumatic and seropositive arthritis. Randomised clinical trials on LDN in rheumatic disease are warranted."

"This review shows that LDN is a promising and safe therapy to be used in some rheumatic disease."

One needs to order LDN from a compound pharmacy like this one:

Hi Lizzie -

We are always working on improving our formulations and listening to our customers. I hear you. I'll continue working on this one.

In the meantime, here are some things for you to consider:

• Glutathione Plus Lozenges: take 1 lozenge, bite it a couple times, hold it in her mouth until it fully dissolves, then swallow. Repeat as needed throughout the day.
• ProBiota HistaminX: 1 capsule after dinner to support a healthy histamine level in her microbiome.*
• Histamine Digest: 1 capsule with meals to support healthy histamine levels as this could be a significant contributor to her internal 'shaking'*

Start here.

Keep me posted. She should notice benefit quite quickly if these are the right recommendations.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Soujanya -

Well done on reading Dirty Genes :)

Thank you for your compliments!

You are far from dumb. I'd say you're simply not informed of how your body works - and you are working on changing that.

The more you learn about how amazing your body is, the more you realize how indeed complex and beautiful it is.

I will say the more I know about how the body works, the more I appreciate how important the FUNDAMENTALS are.

We often forget the fundamentals for fancy stuff like genetic testing.

For now, I'd focus on applying the fundamentals big time before getting lost in the weeds with genetic testing.

A few things I can suggest:

1. Talk with your doctor about Low Dose Naltrexone. Get a low dose prescription of this. My wife uses it and it helps her a lot

2. Use Joint Nutrients - 1 capsule in the morning upon waking and 1 capsule before bed - to support heathy joint health.*

3. Be 110% gluten-free and 110% dairy-free.

4. Use Histamine Digest often with meals. Leaky gut is associated with joint pain and high histamine is associated with causing leaky gut. Histamine Digest supports healthy levels of histamine in the gut - and thus your joints.*

5. Nose breathe. Go for walks. Eliminate emotional stressors one by one - that includes saying goodbye to toxic people in your life if they exist.

6. Sauna. Sweat and do this a few times a week.

Hi Linda -

While the natural flavors are derived from a fermentation process, I do not believe they will impact you negatively with your mast cells.

I am also sensitive to histamine and do very well with all of our glutathione formulations.

If you want a glutathione that does not use any flavors, our Glutathione Plus capsules is the one I recommend.

I would use that one every two days or so as it is pretty high dose per capsule.

Too much glutathione and one may experience a headache.

I prefer using the Liposomal Glutathione Plus or the Glutathione Plus Lozenge over the Glutathione Plus capsules.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Alfredo -

You're welcome to give our glutathione a try. See how it performs for you. If you don't like it, ask for a refund.

I am not sure about other products out there as there is way more than just reading labels and their website.

Making effective, clean and safe supplements is extremely difficult.

We use the s-acetyl form of glutathione. S-acetyl glutathione is protected against digestion. The stomach acid cleaves off the s-acetyl group keeping the glutathione itself intact.

This is exactly why we use this form.

If you are consuming regular reduced glutathione, yes, some, and possibly all, may be digested before it gets absorbed.

There is research showing the effectiveness of Emothion compared to regular glutathione which I've reviewed.

We also have the Glutathione Plus Lozenges. These are my favorite actually.
https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/glutathione-plus-lozenges

They taste great, you feel the effects extremely fast and they are well tolerated by so many people.

People say well it's only 100 mg in your liposomal and only 25 mg in your lozenge.

It's not the dosage of glutathione that you should be focused on.

You should be focused on the stability, absorbability and effectiveness of the glutathione that you are using.

Emothion is extremely effective.

If I used more than 25 mg of glutathione in our lozenge, you would experience side effects. I initially tested this at 50 mg and it was too strong.

Our liposomal glutathione used to be 350 mg and I had to reduce it down to 100 mg because the effectiveness was more than 3x. When testing, I feel good at 100 mg. I feel side effects at 350 mg.

I recommend starting with 1/2 a lozenge of Glutathione Plus if you choose that one. And do it first thing in the morning upon waking.

If using the Liposomal Glutathione, start with 1/2 serving, hold in your mouth for 15 seconds, then swallow.

Typically one feels the benefits within 5 minutes or less.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Phi -

This is what our natural flavors are from:
https://support.seekinghealth.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000425348-What-are-the-natural-flavors-in-my-product

The natural flavors are very unlikely to contribute to your histamine symptoms.

To support healthy histamine levels, consider:

ProBiota HistaminX - 1 capsule after dinner

Histamine Digest - 1 capsule with meals and possibly one before bed.

I'd also consider 2 capsules of Gallbladder Nutrients before dinner. Supporting healthy bile production and bile flow is very important for a healthy gut and histamine levels.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Patricia -

Absolutely.

I think this is a wise approach.

Consider 1/2 the serving size immediately upon waking.

I'd also consider having a bottle of this along with a bottle of Glutathione Plus Lozenge.

See which one you prefer. The Glutathione Plus Lozenges are also fantastic for supporting healthy glutathione levels in kids.

Start with just 1/2 a lozenge of Glutathione Plus lozenges.

You would take one or the other - not both at the same time.

You could consider taking the Glutathione Plus Lozenge one morning.

Then consider switching to the Liposomal Glutathione Plus the next morning.

See which one you prefer better.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Steve -

The form of glutathione is the reason.

One only needs a fraction of Emothion as s-acetyl glutathione compared to the typical reduced glutathione.

If you took 500 mg of Emotion, you would have significant side effects of glutathione excess as it's so well absorbed compared to the other form.

Case in point, our Glutathione Plus Lozenges contain only 25 mg of Emotion per lozenge - and my entire family takes 1/2 a lozenge nearly every morning.

When I made the Glutathione Plus Lozenge at 50 mg of Emotion per lozenge, it was causing us nausea, weird feelings in the head and just not nice.

At 25 mg, and taking only 1/2 most days and 1 full lozenge on moments of actual exposure, we feel great.

When it comes down to dosages, one really has to understand the quality and effectiveness of the ingredient.

Since Seeking Health is the FIRST company to offer Emotion in a liposomal glutathione, we understand that people are going to expect 500 mg per serving still.

That is something we are willing to push through until people truly realize the significant difference in the quality.

Dr. Lynch

Hi Stephanie -

You actually can - just use 1/2 the serving size.

Healthy glutathione levels are very important during pregnancy.

Catherine -

We do show all ingredients in two places on the website:

1. Product images - the supplement facts label
2. Supplement Facts area

Hi Bri -

Absolutely.

The taste is also quite good.

For kids, the best form may be the Glutathione Plus Lozenges.
https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/optimal-glutathione-plus-lozenges

I recommend starting with 1/2 lozenge of Glutathione Plus Lozenge in the morning.

It's a great way to get your day started - with a clear head :)
