Intranasal Glutathione
Glutathione (GSH) is a molecule that is made by the body and consists of the amino acids: glycine, glutamate, and cysteine that all help to support the immune system. GSH is an antioxidant which means that it helps prevent cell damage by detoxifying harmful substances in the body. As we age, the levels of naturally occurring GSH drops, however, in certain disease states the levels drop occurs quicker than normal. Therefore, oftentimes supplementation is sought after in those disease states.
Dextromethorphan for Pain
Almost 50% of Americans visit their physician due to pain, however, almost 4 out of 10 people with pain do not get adequate pain relief and do not respond well to their prescribed pain regimen. Mainly, there are two types of pain that DXM has been used to treat: opioid resistance and neuropathic pain. Opioid resistance is when there is no response to pain relief when high IV doses of morphine sulfate are used. This opioid resistance occurs in conditions such as cancer, chronic pain, and postherpetic neuralgia. Neuropathic pain usually occurs when there is an injury to the nerves such as diabetic neuropathy.
