I think it would be well worth talking to your doctor about. Glutathione may prevent some of the damage to the cells of some of your organs that can come from having alpha 1, but you’d want to be careful about whatever you take. You might find this article interesting:

Those with alpha-1 seem to have excess oxidants (which can cause cell damage) and decreased gluathione (as I said, a very powerful antioxidant) in their systems.

I just had a recent blood test and I think my “G” was at normal levels with thalassemia minor

Going to buy this anyway to have on hand. No one seems to know how someone who already has oxidative stress is going to handle this..although there was some info from Italy that indicated a small group of Transfer dependent thalassemia patients did not do as badly as you would expect with Covid 19

Thanks for the info, I’ll check it out...
