Description
Like oxygen, water, and nourishment, glutathione is an essential tripeptide required for life. Made primarily in your liver and found in virtually every human cell, it is the body’s master antioxidant and arguably the most potent barrier against disease, toxin, and mutation. It is likewise a key factor in first line-of-defense immune response, rebound, and repair. Although critical glutathione levels will lower as we age, depletion can be accelerated by stress, illness, infection, poor diet, alcohol, cigarettes, trauma, and environmental toxins. This depletion can manifest itself in ways that might include impaired nutrient absorption and assimilation, gut, lung, eye, blood, skin, and brain issues, keloid scarring, mitochondrial stress for lower energy output, DNA mutation, mass oxidation, and free radical overload (1). Theranaturals Reduced L-Glutathione Plus™ is engineered for enhanced absorption and potency with ultra-purity USP-grade glutathione and sodium bicarbonate (Bioidentical, Non-GMO, Organic). Designed for nebulization, Reduced L-Glutathione Plus™ can also be used sublingually, as eyedrops, as nasal spray, and in skin creams. Can also be taken orally for direct gut benefit. There are NO fillers, excipients, preservatives, bacteriostatic agents, dyes, flavors, or flow agents in this product.
Top Uses:
- Skin whitening
- Lung
- Brain
- Detox
How to prepare:
Mix it when you need it so it’s always fresh. Break the capsule/s open and empty the content into a container/cup. Add 3 ml (~1/2 tsp) distilled or DI water or pure saline solution to the container/cup. Let agitate briefly until the solution is clear. It’s now ready to use.
TIPS: The capsules should separate easily by gently squeezing on the larger portion and twisting. If you have trouble gripping the capsule in your fingers, a tablet cutter or straight razor can be helpful. Add powder into container/cup before liquids.
Note: if you boil your water before use, make sure it is at room temperature before adding glutathione. Hot water destroys the glutathione.
Water to capsule ratio:
- 1-3 capsules: 3 ml water
- 4 capsules: 4 ml water
- 5 capsules: 5 ml water
- 6 capsules: 6 ml water
HIGH HUMIDITY LOCATION TIPS:
- If bottle is sealed, place inside of Zip-Loc bag with silica desiccant inside bag.
- If opened, you may place desiccant inside bottle or keep in Zip-Loc bag (best results have been seen with the Zip-Loc bag method).
- If placing in the refrigerator, place the bottle inside the Zip-Loc bag with a desiccant inside the bag – NOT IN THE BOTTLE. This is important to keep moisture away from the capsules and outside of the bottle. Refrigerators have higher humidity and the Desiccant can pull humidity into the bottle and over the capsules – accelerating the oxidation of the product. Reports from using the ziplock bag method in the refrigerator have been very good – no “turned” capsules for extended periods of time.
- If in a hot and humid location, follow refrigerator desiccant instructions.
Oxygen absorber: You may place an oxygen absorber in the bottle once opened. This can slow down oxidation and extend the active life of the product.
Expiration: “MFG” date on the bottom of the bottle is Manufacture Date, not expiration. The product is generally good for up to 3 – 5 years from this date if stored properly. Glutathione does not spoil or go bad – it oxidizes over time. (in high humidity and hot locations this time is shortened).
Sulfur Smell: Glutathione is organic with a characteristic sulfur or egg smell. This is normal. The product has not gone bad.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A SULFITE ALLERGY/REACTION TO GLUTATHIONE? No. See FAQs for more details.
CAUTION: it is not recommended that you take glutathione if you are undergoing chemo or radiation therapy for cancer or any other condition. As a powerful antioxidant, glutathione can cancel out the treatments and render them ineffective. Consult with your doctor first before supplementation. In addition, it is not recommended to take Whey Protein Isolate or NAC while undergoing cancer radiation or Chemo treatments. These will increase glutathione levels in the body which can likewise render the treatments ineffective.
CAUTION: If you have been exposed to the black mold Stachybotrys chartarum and HAVE a lung infection suspected or diagnosed to be related, it is not recommended that you nebulize (oral is okay) with glutathione until the mold is treated by a medical professional via antifungals. The black mold appears to absorb the free glutathione in the lungs very readily through its slime head and protects itself from the normal human immune response. Use extreme caution if you suspect a Stachybotrys chartarum lung infection and toxicity or have been diagnosed with a related Stachybotrys chartaum related lung issue by a medical professional.

Two Thumbs Up
I would like to give two thumbs up for your L-Glutathione Plus! It truly is an amazing product.
It has allowed me to reduce my inhaled medications in a very short time. I believe with continued use, my breathing will continue to improve. (Along with clean eating.) I would like to get this message out to anyone who has COPD or asthma, You have GOT to try this product. This is coming from someone, who has tried just about everything. I have to be honest, this product has got to be the greatest product I have ever tried for my COPD.
I am going to introduce this product to everyone that I know that has COPD, asthma or breathing problems in general.
Thank you so much for producing such a great product.

Exceptional Product – Lessons Learned
PLEASE CONSIDER LESSONS LEARNED LISTED AT BOTTOM OF TESTIMONIAL
My name is Marilyn, I am now 60 years old, and I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis in 1992. My MRI showed hundreds of pinpoint lesions. By 2004, I could not walk at all. I do not have remissions and I have continuously progressed. I have never taken the standard MS medications because I did not see much evidence that they were worth the side effects or the cost. After seeing dozens of doctors of all sorts, the only laboratory tests that showed any obvious problems were those involving mercury toxicity and the metabolic functions that the toxin disrupted.
My journey has been lengthy. I have done every conceivable naturopathic therapy I could find that I thought might improve my situation, including intravenous chelation agents. I am almost embarrassed to list how many different protocols I followed without result. While some things were beneficial, indeed critical, like liothyronine (thyroid medication), I was not successful at reversing any of the creeping paralysis that was slowly removing any ability to move any limb. I found some pain relief using cannabis oil (doctor prescribed), and it also helped sleep, but I did not see any improvement in mobility, in fact, within one year I lost all hand function in both hands. I seemed to be in an accelerated decline.
Fortunately, in Seattle I met a physician whose brilliance was immediately apparent and I began to work with her. Employing her years of knowledge treating environmental illness/toxicity, she recommend a 2 component cocktail that would be best nebulized. As I have some nutritional background, and some knowledge of alternative therapies, I recognized what this original cocktail of synergistic ingredients should be capable of. Also, and I truly believe this due to my experience that I will delineate shortly, I believe that this cocktail could very well be beneficial in treating any of the neurological conditions that have exploded in the last few years. I am talking Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, TIA damage… This therapy can be done at home at your convenience, painlessly without side effects and affordably, and in my personal case, it is only made me feel better. My paralyzed hands are responding to this treatment, they are no longer frozen into claws, but are able to stay extended and I can now move my fingers to some degree. This is to me miraculous is remember I am considered incurable, hopeless Primary Progressive. All my joints are looser.
So what is this cocktail that I am talking about?
It is a mixture of ACS liquid silver (resultsRNA.com) and Theranaturals buffered glutathione. I was also advised to take liquid zeolite ACZ (resultsRNA.com) orally. I am going to record my method of administration. Understand, I am not giving medical advice, I am simply relating what my experience has been. Your mileage may vary.
First, I had to obtain a nebulizer that would handle a mask. Then I had to acquire the proper glutathione that I could nebulize:
http://www.theranaturals.com/natural-supplements/1-reduced-l-glutahtione-plus-enhanced-absorption-ultra-purity-grade.html
The next step was to acquire the products from resultsRNA, I would not even consider any other brand because my doctor knows how trustworthy the manufacturer is. So, in a small dose cup, I measure out 1/4 teaspoon of the liquid silver, add 1/2 teaspoon of saline solution. (See lessons learned below). Into this combination, I break open 3 capsules of glutathione and tap out the contents. It fizzles as it dissolves. I take this bubbling liquid and pour it into the nebulizer cup. Then I place the mask over my face and turn on the machine. It takes about 15-20 min. for the liquid to disappear.
I love how simple it is to get the same accurate dose each time. I love that it is easy to adjust dosage according to reaction. I love the fact that nebulizing gets this cocktail into my brain through the sinus/nasal passages when I breathe through my nose. I love that when I breathe this cocktail into my lungs, I know it is getting into my bloodstream. I love bypassing the digestive tract because I tend to overreact to any changes of intake and with this therapy, when done correctly, there should be absolutely no Herxheimer meltdowns. In fact, there should only be positives. Like increased energy, lessened joint pain, increased mental clarity. Decreased inflammation. Better sleep. In my personal case, all the above has occurred. But in addition, I am regaining movement in my fingers. I can lift my left hand, which has been made of concrete for the last three years. My limbs are no longer so spastic and stiff. My caregivers have noticed the amazing alleviation of tension in my muscles. I have only been nebulizing this cocktail for about 5 weeks. I feel like a living miracle. I promise I will write a follow-up in another 5-6 weeks.
I do want to mention a couple of LESSONS LEARNED:
I have found that it is important to start slow, especially with the silver. I have found that the ratio of silver to saline is important, that in the beginning I could only tolerate less than 1/8 teaspoon of silver, to 1/2 teaspoon of saline. If I tried to take a higher amount of silver, I felt nauseous, shaky, typical die off flulike symptoms. So I had to stay with this combination silver/saline, plus the 3 capsules of buffered glutathione for 3 weeks. I am now able to tolerate 1/4 teaspoon silver to 1/2 teaspoon saline. I have learned from my doctor that there is absolutely no need to feel anything but better when doing this therapy!
If you have any feelings of being ill, adjust amounts. Drink water.
I have found it beneficial to take powdered micronized zeolite as well, somewhere between 1/4 teaspoon-1 teaspoon everyday. However, even this I find to be a diuretic and once again I have to stay on top of the water intake. If I do not stay well hydrated, I experience constipation, headaches, fatigue, heat intolerance.
I have found it useful to take magnesium. Without some extra magnesium, I get extreme muscle/joint pain. I believe this is actually a positive, because as I am removing mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, I need to replace these bad guys with nutrient metals like magnesium.

I can breathe
I have bronchiectasis. Started out slow at 200mg, and now up to 800mg a day. At 600 I experienced a mass eruption of mucus and filled a 60ml cup with hopefully the mucus seen in my images that were plugging my lower lobes. I have a feeling it is, because I have no more pain in my chest from my lungs. This stuff is great. I told my doctor in a year the scars would be gone. There is a great medical article on NIH.gov about nebulized glutathione for the treatment of respiratory diseases. I also started using colloidal silver like someone else on here, and that was the tipping point of me not needing to use an inhaler in the middle of the night like I was having to for months. Steroids causes candida growth, so seems totally counterproductive if I am trying to keep bacteria out of my lungs. Strong feeling the silver finished off the bacteria for me. And the glutathione has been a life changer too. I will never be without both of these. Humans are bacrerial beings, 80% bacterial cells, 10% human cells. Anytime you take antibiotics you are creating death and corpses in your body which more bacteria must grow in order to remove. Go with a good silver for fungal/bacteria/viruses!

Mr.
In a short time, this product has made a world of difference for me. I suffered a severe case of pneumonia leading to respiratory failure and a collapsed lung about five months ago. The pneumonia left lung scarring and mild bronchiectasis.
It took about three months of hard, painful work to regain my full lung capacity, but I was left with a nagging cough due to the bronchiectasis injury. The cough was loud and hoarse, and disruptive to my life. Nothing the MDs prescribed was the least bit helpful.
I saw this product mentioned on various bronchiectasis forums and decided to try it. Nebulizing with it calmed my lungs and immediately reduced the severity of my coughing.
The medical literature that I have seen calls bronchiectasis a permanent condition. I, for one, refuse to accept this judgment and intend to prove the medical experts wrong. Through continued use of this product, exercise, and prayer, I intend to fully overcome this injury.

This product performed a miracle for me
I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis in 2017 and told I would have a declining life of antibiotics and hospitalizations. A friend sent me the book Beating Bronchiectasis she found on Amazon. I followed the writers directions with limited progress. It took me a year and a half to find nebulized glutithione. I ordered in in July and by October I had no mucus to cough up and no infection. I have been infection free for over a month for the first time in years. This is just the facts and not exaggerations. I have a normal life but I continue to follow the protocol in the book for a while to be certain I am totally healed inside. It feels like I am. This product is a miracle and I wish more people knew about it.

Please introduce Products & Treatment to Sri Lanka
Hi,
This is more of an appeal than a review admittedly. But I hope you will bear with me & hear me out, thanks
I am impressed by the reviews & after a quick glance over some of the published medical research findings online. When oh when, would somebody over there liaise with doctors in this country to make such treatment under supervision a reality? (apart from marketing quality naturopathy products @ an affordable rate by setting up collaborative manufacturing plants here if possible for both local consumption & regional export) In Sri lanka, a nation with so much unnecessary poverty & environmental pollution, & poor/lop-sided nutrition induced toxins
+ weak immunity overall, appalling ignorance of the majority citizenry stemming from passive literacy & of course the conservative dogma & arrogance of too many of our influential our medical practitioners, pharmacists & chemists!

Tastes weird but it works!
My first thought when I tried it was that it tasted and smelled weird. However, after using it, and using my inhaler for peace of mind, and then using a bit more of it, I can breathe better than I have in a few weeks. I thought I needed a round of steroids for a COPD exacerbation but I was wrong. I needed this. It feels great to be able to breathe without stuffing myself with yet more unneeded antibiotics and yet another round of steroids. Thank you for a wonderful product. I’ll be a repeat customer for sure. I’m going to tell all of my friends about this amazing product.

Lung Capacity
Recent exposure to COVID-19 was the impetus behind my purchase. Luckily I didn’t contract the virus. Interestingly enough through using my nebulizer with the L-Glutathione I noticed improved overall lung health and breathing. As a long time competitive surfer I was constantly timing breath holds. After 2 days of using the nebulizer I had increased my breath holds by 10%-15% easily. I’ll continue to use the product for athletic performance.
Dana Kleiman (verified owner) –
I have moderate lung issues and have been using a nebulizer with 600MG of L-Glutathione Plus for 2.5 months. It has helped me to breathe easier and more deeply and has, no doubt, improved my immune function in the process. As a test, I skipped three days and really noticed the difference. While I am reliant on multiple asthma meds, I look forward to cutting back on those, while continuing the natural L-Glutathione support. I buy exclusively from Theranaturals.com as Michael and his staff have been incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, helping me to navigate paths to optimal support for my lungs. Next, my daughter will be adding two Theranatural gut support protocols for her UC and we will report back once we have given them ample time to show results.

I got COVID-19 early March 2020 and was left with a nagging, dry cough. I discovered nebulizing Reduced L-Glutathione cleared my lungs and removed the incessant urge to cough. I have been using this product for over a year, starting out using it daily, then finding I needed to use it less frequently. I now use it once or twice a week and it has made SUCH a difference for me, basically clearing the cough and giving me clear breathing and lungs. Love this product and will never be without it! Thank you TheraNaturals!!

My husband got pneumonia from Covid and was going downhill fast. I was Able to speak to Michael and he gave us instructions on how to use the glutathione in the nebulizer. What a remarkable recovery my husband did make! He did use a combo of things because he got into great trouble with his oxygen dipping into the low 80s so he did use albuterol and dexamethasone. My husband did not have to be hospitalized though! we were determined not to go there . I am convinced this nebulized glutathione was instrumental in his recovery. He actually seems better and stronger than he was before he got sick!!! This could be due to the glutathione detoxifying his whole system. I am so grateful for Michael and his staff for this product he offers!

Glutathione and AFIB
I can’t say enough about this product! I had open heart surgery for Mitral Valve repair in March 2021. I had some postoperative AFIB which went away after a couple months. On July 26th I got the second Pfizer Covid Vaccine and my heart rate went nuts. While sitting at my desk the rate went up to over 200 bpm then immediately down into the 40’s in what is called Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) along with AFIB. For the next few months I had SVT, PAC’s, PVC’s and AFIB. I went thru a Cardio Rehab program and during exercise if my heart rate went over about 80 it would trigger SVT and I would have to stop. My Cardiologist referred me to an Electrophysiologist and I was scheduled for an Ablation on January 18 2022.
I did some research and found Medical Trials for postoperative AFIB after heart surgery where half of the group took N-ACETYL CYSTEINE (NAC) and that group had significantly less postop AFIB. I had read that Arrhythmias caused by Myocarditis (heart swelling) was a side effect of Covid and the Covid Vaccine so I researched and found studies where NAC had reduced Myocarditis in Covid patients. Knowing that NAC is an orally taken precursor to Glutathione I figured I would nebulize Glutathione and it would go directly from my lungs to my heart. In December 2021 I started Nebulizing with 400mg Glutathione Plus daily. After three days my Arrhythmias were gone. I verified that with exercise for a few days then requested an appointment with the Electrophysiologist as the Ablation was scheduled in a couple weeks. He prescribe that I do a Treadmill Test and wear a Zeopatch (heart monitor) for a week. The Treadmill Test showed normal heart rhythm as did the results of the Zeopatch Report. The Ablation was cancelled and I am doing fine and able to go skiing and Mountain Biking again. I will continue to nebulize with G Plus weekly.
Thank you Theranaturals!

Theranaturals GSH (Glutathione)
Reduced Glutathione that turns into Glutathione with water (sodium salt).
GSH Mol. Wt. 307.33
Na(CO2)2 Mol. Wt. 84.0066
GSH 200 mg. = .00065076 Mole
Na(CO2)2 55 mg. = .00065471 Mole
An equivalent amount to GSH in moles is 54.6689 mg. rounded 55 mg..
What this says is the sodium bicarbonate is added to just neutralize the reduced glutathione.
Reduced Glutathione could be called glutathionic acid.
When a dry solid acid is mixed with dry sodium bicarbonate nothing happens.
When dumped into water they react forming sodium glutathionate (glutathione) and CO2.
I see no one using the names sodium glutathionate or glutathionic acid.
They call sodium glutathionate (glutathione) and glutathionic acid (reduced glutathione).
This was very confusing when I first started reading about it!
According to all the research papers I have seen glutathione (the sodium salt) is NOT active orally!
It is listed in the research papers that the reduced glutathione is more biologically active.
I have seen no other salts but the sodium used (they could have slightly different properties).
References to oral activity directly below.
Effects of Oral Glutathione Supplementation on Systemic Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Human Volunteers

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Research suggests that glutathione is not orally bio-active, and that very little of oral
glutathione tablets or capsules is actually absorbed by the body.
The two ways I know of that work are injection and nebulizing.
I use a nebulizer. I use 1 capsule to 1 ml. of distilled/boiled cooled water.
I found it took about 6 eye droppers of water to make one ml..
So I put 5 eye droppers full in and save the sixth eye dropper at the end to get most of the glutathione nebulized.
Try eating a capsule first.
If you have no problems, then try nebulizing a small amount (1/4 to 1/2 capsule).
Always try small amounts to make sure you can tolerate it and haven’t any problems.
Give it a day between your test and full usage. You should probably do this with everything.
Tilt/angle the nebulizer toward you so all the liquid in the chamber is used.
Glutathione is VERY safe! They use it for skin whitening and inject 1200 to 1600 mg.!!
Reduced glutathione and glutathione are very soluble in water (glutathione soluble to 1g/1ml) .
I just use distilled water to rinse the nebulizer several times, shake it well and let it dry.
I also run the nebulizer with a small amount of distilled water to clean the micro mesh in it.
I have had no problems with the nebulizer after 32 capsules. Still looks new.
I generally feel better and sleep better!!
I am totally thrilled with the sleeping better!
