Things I found that help

Since I suffer with both Lupus & Sjogrens, I found that taking the supplement glutathione and Lactoferrin help. In addition, an infrared sauna.

  1. ,
    We're glad you found a few things that are making a difference for you.
    The infrared sauna sounds quite relaxing and therapeutic.
    I'm not too familiar with the glutathione and Lactoferrin. Have you noticed any specific side effects from either? Thanks so much for sharing.

    2. I have read some research about those supplements. I believe it was a 2016 research study where researchers believe there is a correlation between glutathione levels and disease activity, suggesting that increasing glutathione levels may help reduce lupus symptoms. This was shown by various clinical markers. They concluded that glutathione supplementation may have a beneficial effect on lupus patients by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. It’s interesting. I also read that more research is needed to fully understand the role of glutathione in lupus management. They also said glutathione supplementation should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as it may interact with certain medications or have adverse effects in some individuals. ~Racquel~ team member
