Glutathione

I'm thinking of trying the GSH (glutathione) and was wondering who all has tried it and how they think it worked.

Is the inhaled more successful? Are there any benefits to taking only the pill form?

I'm inhaling so much now that it would be hard to add anthing else.

Hi john,
I've been taking Glutathione orally for a bit over 3 years now. I dont know if the inhaled would be more effective, and since i have ongoing hemoptysis problems , i wont ever find out. I have read it can be a bit irritating to the lungs and shouldnt be inhaled if you have very low pft's. Since you are already inhaling a lot as you said maybe you might want to try the oral glutathione and see how that goes. I know for me the oral glutathione has made a noticeable difference. I have the energy again that i used to have before i got cepacia. I feel less congested, and get sick less often and severe. If you need some info on glutathione i could post up some links ....Let me know.

I inhale it, 400mg twice a day in distilled water. Still no clue if it is helping me or not because I felt so good on OO. Wondering if I should reorder the stuff. I take a ton of antioxidants now, OO included. I wonder if the glutathione is even needed. Considering its 35 bucks a bottle for 100 caps.

I use GSH. Have for over a year with good results...less infections, less coughing etc. I use 800mg 2x a day, inhaled.

I took oral as well for awhile and saw NO change with the oral so quit that

I also do hypertonic saline and xopenex...sometimes Atrovent and Pulmicort(all in the nebulizer) but I feel all of it is important and helping so I don't mind
