You are welcome! I had to get a prescription for the NAC because I had to get it through a pharmacy. It’s in a glass vial that you use a syringe and draw it up and put it in my nebulizing cup with my full amount of Celine solution.

Do you find the nebulized NAC more helpful then NAC oral I pill form?

Glutathione is an antioxidant. The few times Ive had it, I’ve felt amazing for weeks after. More clear and energetic which it welcome. I’ve had dna testing that says I “need above average amounts of antioxidants” as my body doesn’t break down things bad for it well, I assume this has something to do with it.

Was it the IV infusion that you received?

Did you identify your own lab or did you have a prescription for the glutathione at a given lab?

Hi Lenor
I use it twice daily .. liposomal glutathione sublingually. (must be refrigerated) which is a hassle when traveling but I make it work..... Before I travel I get an infusion with multiple vitamins, glutathione and a few other things mainly to boost immunity. My tendency to contract illness had decreased greatly since doing this and other supplementation. Not sure if it is these things or much prayer! But my condition as a whole has improved on CT and PFT as well.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I am definitely going g to give the glutathione infusion a try. It’s nice to know that there are others that have used it and have had a positive result.

Can you describe the benefits it gives you? Did you share this information with your pulmonologist, and if so what is their opinion?

My CRP ( inflammation ) was high at 12 ( it had never been > 0.8) and my MD who is an internal med doctor but also practices alternative and functional told me to take NAC 1200 mg twice a day and just rechecked it after 3 .5 months and it is now 3.6!
Liposomal glutathione may be absorbed better but it’s hard to absorb it apparently. As long as you can break down NAC ( I had heard some people don’t have an enzyme ? Or something like that? to convert it well though) NAC is better from what I’ve read. Glutathione is the most amazing anti oxidant and anti inflammatory we hace in our body. (Taking acetaminophen (tylenol) shuts down Glutathione production in Body for several hours. ). NAC can also thin mucous in lungs. Apparently it was used as far back in 1963 as a drug for obstructive Lung issues.

Yes, many years ago, before Mucinex, my ENT had me use NAC, but it was a powder and hard to manage. When time-released Mucinex became available, I was happy to switch. For the past several years I have used both, and find the combination helpful. The NAC also seems to help tame my fibromyalgia

Such good information! So you are using only the oralNAC without injection or infusion? Have you found it has decreased your cough or makes it easier to clear your lungs?
