@DavidPS solid inputs. have you ever experimented with glutathione precursors?
I am not purposefully trying to increase glutathione. Glycine and gelatine have many uses and I try to get more than ample amounts. Selenium is a cofactor in glutathione production (see and see) and I also try to get selenium from my diet to keep my immune system in good shape.
Stephanie Seneff wondered if a sulfur deficiency was the cause of many didiseases.
Could Sulfur Deficiency be a Contributing Factor in Obesity, Heart Disease, Alzheimer's
and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?As I recall, Dr. Peat was against using MSM to get sulfur. Fortunately, sulfur can be obtained from many dietary sources.

@DavidPS so I guess NAC is used primarily for it's antioxidant function.

@yerrag Ray inspired me to use food alternatives to supplements, like providing precursors for glutathione production. B6 is a precursor for glutathione, found in liver

In the body, NAC converts to l-cysteine, a nonessential amino acid. The body then uses l-cysteine to make glutathione, which is a tripeptide or chain of amino acids composed ofTrusted Source cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid.
Glutathione is an antioxidant with important functions in the body, such as making DNA, supporting the immune system, supporting the function of specific enzymes, helping certain organ functions, and more.

Thanks.

@yerrag I forgot you asked which b vit, I found this source, otherwise I've only heard it second hand: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916523232463#:~:text=Vitamin B-6 as pyridoxal,rat liver and human plasma.

Thanks. I got to read it. Am I getting it right though, as it seems to me the study is kinda inconclusive about the role of b6 in increasing glutathione?
-
@yerrag that's above my paygrade lol
-
My mother said that it feels like there is less mucus in the tube and lungs so NAC seems to be helping.

Backing up David's idea above there's a knowledgeable guy in my own circles who swears by NAC and Guaifenesin for similar symptoms. Though he does take NAC regularly.
Speaking of NAC, checkout the following claim of it's anti-aging properties, scroll down till you see the list of substances:
Josh Mitteldorf got that info from here:
