Nebuliser suitable for saline and powdered glutathione
Can anyone recommend a nebuliser (except Philips Innospire) for saline and glutathione powder ?
Prefer a portable unit but will be happy with anything that works.
Thank you in advance for any help.

What specific type of powdered glutathione are you thinking about using?
I did some research into this and found that Glutathione formulated for oral consumption is often combined with a fat to make stand up better to stomach acids, which make it inaccessible when directly inhaled for lung treatment. Additionally, it's purity and PH balance are not formulated for the lungs, which could be detrimental to lung health. Hence, it's best to use a formulation designed to be inhaled for both safety and effectiveness.
I hear the concern that specifically prescribed liquid lung formulations of glutathione are both harder to come by and are more expensive, however my opinion is that my lung health is worth the price. Additionally, spending all that time nebulizing something that is not the most effective, is also a cost I'm not willing to pay.
