Glutathione Deficiency in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients

Research has reported that glutathione is depleted in people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and that this deficiency causes their muscular fatigue and myalgia.

It is also speculated that depleted levels of glutathione allow viral and toxin exposures to trigger cell dysfunction and lead to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Chronic viral infections, toxins, chemicals, and elevated hormones can promote the conditions that deplete the liver’s glutathione stores. These are all linked to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome too.

Low glutathione also contributes to metal and chemical sensitivity that is associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
