    Glutathione or no glutathione?

    Hi all I’ve had ME/CFS since July (undiagnosed). I started methylating a couple of weeks ago and I think it’s been helping. But something I’m not clear on is whether to add glutathione to the MTHF + MCbl. I’ve seen that Rich didn’t include it in the protocol, at least not in the simplified...

    Glutathione causing anxiety/irritability

    Hello PR, I just started taking liposomal glutathione, which initially had some positive effects of clearing brain fog, and a feeling of well-being. However, soon it started causing anxiety, and then irritability, without the positive symptoms I experienced earlier. I'm pretty sure this doesn't...

    The plausibility of NAC inducing b12 deficiency or 'methyl-trap'

    Hello everyone. I am writing because I am particularly interested in the evidence for NAC inducing b12/b9 deficiency. I have thus far given the forums a cursory perusal and I have gathered that the event of b12 deficiency is plausibly linked to previous NAC supplementation. I had b12 deficiency...

    Help - I've overdone something re methylation and I don't know what

    As the title suggests I've made some errors regarding methylation supplements and I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated. The background to this is that I have SIBO and CFS, and have been getting a lot better after about 6 months on Ben Lynch's...

    Tiny amounts of glutathione make me tired

    Glutathione is a double-edged sword for me. I have to take a tiny amount of liposomal glutathione (like less than a drop) and cycle it on and off each day to get any benefit. Even then, its really had to get right, and much of the time it makes me tired and irritable. When I do get it dialed...

    Questions about Methylation

    I have seen "overmethylation" mentioned in a few threads and I want to ask what is it? How would you know if you were "overmethylating"? I am taking transdermal B12 (methylcobalamin) spray which I bought from Dr Myhill's online shop. She recommends 5-10 sprays daily. I'm currently on 6 sprays...

    Glycine - advice please?

    I want to switch my magnesium citrate (400mg each night) to magnesium glycinate. Because I have been informed that citrate can contribute to glutamate which may have a negative effect on sleep. And people say that mag glycinate is generally the best for relaxing you and helping you sleep. I've...
