Glutathione Side Effects

What Side Effects From the Bonded Whey Protein?

Custom Search

What are the glutathione side effects? is an often asked question.

Since the medical literature says that glutathione is poorly absorbed by the gut, the best way to boost glutathione is taking bonded cystine. What if any are the adverse effects?

Perhaps the best place to get the answer as to the side effects from boosting your glutathione using a bonded whey protein would be the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR).

Warnings
First, under warnings it states that those under immune suppressive therapy (such as organ transplant recipients) should discuss the use of bonded whey protein to boost your glutathione with your health care professional.

We would like to add...as to date there is no scientific evidence as to the harm or value. It would be best that you discuss it with all on the health care team. There is a theoretical risk in taking the product if you have an organ transplant.

Precautions
Under Precautions it states that those on protein restricted diets should calculate the protein load of the amount of product they use. There are 9 grams of protein per package.

Each packet contains less than one percent of lactose and that it is well tolerated by individuals who are lactose intolerant.

Taking the cystine to boost glutathione is best done in a few hours prior to sleep.

According to the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR), it is best taken on an empty stomach or with a light meal. If taken with a high protein meal, protein loading may inhibit its absorption.

Adverse Reactions
Under adverse precautions it indicates GI bloating and cramps are possible if those taking it do not adequately rehydrate themselves. Bottom line, you need to take it with some water.

Transient urticaria-like rash has developed in individuals undergoing severe detoxification reaction.Rash goes away when the intake is stopped or amount taken in is reduced.

We might add...although not reported in the PDR, anecdotal evidence points to headache, sometimes severe headaches in some such as those who have heavy metal poisoning who are boosting their glutathione levels to eliminate the toxins.

The doctors who I have worked with suggest starting off with a smaller dose and building up to full strength.

Overdosing
Overdosing has not been reported as a glutathione side effect. Some who have successfully treated leukemia by boosting their GSH have taken up to 9 sachets a day.

According to the PDR the way our body treats the intake of bonded cystine, there is a negative feed back that prevents us from overdosing.

It should be noted that the cystine mentioned in the PDR had is frail. It had the following disclaimer. and can be split or made ineffective if heated (such as in pasteurization) or shearing forces (blenders or from the extraction process).

The doctors collectively say the problems with glutathione relate to the positive results. It will hurt a few to help. For all who stay on it, the symptoms subside in time.

It should be noted these side effects were the result of taking the manufactured cystine. The cystines that are available in health food stores or for muscle enhancement are not made from undenatured whey. They do not have the bonded cystine spoken of in the PDR.

Contraindications
It is contraindicated in individuals who develop or have known hypersensitivities to certain milk proteins.

This is a very concise overview of glutathione side effects.
