My wife takes a liquid dose daily and wants me to start, but I am waiting to ask my Hepatologist about it on my next visit in June.. I do nothing without checking with her first. :D

Are you considering glutathione supplements for your PBC?

While the article you shared discusses liver health, it's important to note that research on supplements for PBC specifically is limited. Most studies focus on other liver conditions, not PBC directly.

Some supplements that have been explored for general liver support include:

* Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fatty fish)
* Milk thistle
* Fish oil

However, there's no strong evidence that these supplements help PBC specifically, though they may support overall liver function when used as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Important considerations with any supplement:

All supplements carry some risks. They can interact with medications, cause digestive upset, or strain your liver at high doses. It's crucial to introduce supplements slowly and always consult your healthcare team first.

Because PBC affects fat absorption, you may need extra nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with calcium for bone health. Your doctor can test for deficiencies and provide personalized guidance.

Before trying glutathione or any new supplement, talk to your healthcare provider. They can advise whether it's safe based on your specific health situation and current medications.
