If you have hEDS, you know the body doesn’t play fair. Breathing can feel heavy, fatigue hits fast, brain fog shows up uninvited, and MCAS flares make life hectic. One thing that helps is glutathione (GSH), your body’s natural antioxidant and cellular clean-up crew. You can breathe it in via a nebulizer, and it goes straight to your lungs, where it acts quickly and creates a positive domino effect on your whole metabolism.
Your lungs are smart: they produce mucus to trap irritants:
Dust → Mucus thickens to trap particles, airflow slows
Pollen → Airways get inflamed, more histamine released
Smoke / pollution → Cells get damaged by free radicals
Allergens / germs → Mucus production ramps up, oxygen delivery drops
But when mucus gets thick and sticky, breathing slows, oxygen delivery drops, MCAS flares, fatigue and brain fog creep in.
Breathe GSH in, and some GSH enters the bloodstream, crossing to your brain, helping neurons manage oxidative stress. This improve your focus, calm overactive nerves, and boost your energy.
hEDS isn’t just loose joints. Many of us also have:
Fragile connective tissues
Sensitive lungs
Overactive nerves (POTS/dysautonomia)
MCAS flares that amplify inflammation
This means your lungs and brain are more sensitive to oxidative stress and mucus build-up than the average person. Nebulized GSH helps with:
Easing breathing: Less inflammation + thinner mucus = smoother airflow
Protecting tissues & blood vessels: Not a collagen fix, but reduces secondary stress on fragile structures
Supporting your brain & nerves: Calms sympathetic overdrive → less fatigue, fewer brain fog episodes
Nebulized glutathione is a gentle, targeted boost helping your lungs breathe better, your cells stay healthier, and your nervous system stay calmer. For hEDS patients, it makes a noticeable difference in daily life.
Nebulized glutathione isn’t a cure, but it acts like a protective shield for your lungs, blood vessels, and nervous system. Many hEDS patients notice:
Easier breathing
Fewer MCAS flares
Reduced oxidative stress in the nervous system
Calmer overactive sympathetic nerves (POTS/dysautonomia)
Boost in energy, focus, and mental clarity.
Think of it like this:
Breathe in GSH → lungs clear → oxygen flows → nerves calm → energy improves.
Always check with a doctor familiar with hEDS before starting anything new - but if your lungs or brain feel under constant attack, glutathione is worth knowing about.
