Could you ever have too much glutathione in the system? Are there any clinical issues with having too much?
Yes. And the thing is, all the products in the world as of today, I. E. Intravenous forms, liposome technology products, capsules, all those different technology products, the body doesn't absorb any one of them anyways. The body breaks it down and it produces endogenously glutathione. So until today, we never had an issue of overdosing anybody on glutathione. Now that we have a technology that I can actually bypass all the barriers and introduce straight to the cell, there's a potential of getting it overdosed. So, yes, now that we have a technology, we can push people over the edge. And when we push people over the edge, they can start experiencing effects like excessive rashes, itching all over the body, extreme fatigue, headaches, things like that.
