Q. my cousin already has a very light skin, but she's still taking glutathione and complains she experiences "binge eating" due to it. she also experiences irregularites on her mestrual cycle. she feels that she's getting fat. she's been taking the drug for about 2 weeks now. she stopped due to those side effects... mind you, those pills are from the USA, patented and not fake.
A. Glutathione is generally considered to be free of side effects so there is probably other causes to the effects your cousin is experiencing.
1. âThere are no established side effects to glutathione or to the substances used to elevate glutathione levelsâ¦.
Although glutathione is marketed as a nutritional supplement, it does not appear that glutathione supplements actually increase the levels of glutathione inside cells. In human studies, oral doses of glutathione had little effect in raising blood levels.â http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/glutathione
2.âNo side effects or interactions are known with oral administration of glutathioneâ¦
There is very little evidence that taking glutathione supplements provides any benefit, despite promising evidence about the effects of aerosol, intravenous, and intramuscular glutathione, for people with a wide variety of conditions.â http://www.kroger.com/hn/Supp/Glutathione.htm
3. âNo glutathione side effects or interactions are known with oral administration of glutathioneâ¦
Glutathione supplements appear to be efficiently absorbed in rats.6 7 However, the same may not be true for glutathione supplements in humans.
For example, when seven healthy people were given a single application of up to 3,000 mg of glutathione, there was no increase in blood glutathione levels.8
The authors of the study concluded "it is notfeasible to increase circulating glutathione to a clinically beneficial extent by the oral administrating of a single application of 3,000 mg of glutathione."
Absorption of glutathione may be better in rats because unlike the gastrointestinal tract of rats, the human gastrointestinal tract contains significant amounts of an enzyme (gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase) that breaks down glutathione.
Preliminary evidence has suggested that absorption of glutathione can occur in the mouth when glutathione tablets are placed between the teeth and the inner cheek.9 â http://www.evitamins.com/healthnotes.asp?ContentID=2857007

What are symptoms you are about to start your period?
Q. I would like to know what are the most common symptoms and what happened to you before you started please.I have had breast growth for a year and a half,same for discharge,cramps right now,so is it coming soon?
P.S.i am about 95 lbs and 13 sooo,yeah.

A. Just from noticing girls in my school, it's the heavy ones that start the earliest. You never said your height, so there's no way I can tell if you're heavy or not, but I'll just assume that you aren't. I can imagine that it would be another year before you get it (which should be a blessing, not a bad thing!)
Generally, I think it can be said that girls' moods change quite noticeably, while other girls' moods may not change at all. Periods are very complex; they are different for different people. Some girls' skin will break out, maybe start to grow pimples or turn red.
Here is what wikipedia says:
"In many women, various intense sensations brought about by the involved hormones and by cramping of the uterus can precede or accompany menstruation. Stronger sensations may include significant menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), abdominal pain, migraine headaches, depression, emotional sensitivity, feeling bloated, changes in sex drive and nausea. Breast discomfort caused by premenstrual water retention or hormone fluctuation is very common. Binge eating occurs in a large minority of menstruating women. This may be due to fluctuation in beta-endorphin levels.The sensations experienced vary from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle."
also:
"Women may experience emotional disturbances associated with menstruation. These range from the irritability popularly associated with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), to tiredness, or "weepiness" (i.e. tears of emotional closeness). A similar range of emotional effects and mood swings is associated with pregnancy."
Hopefully this helped!

Can having sex change your PMS symptoms?
Q. Could changes in your hormones even cause you to have PMDD? I have been having sex for a year and a half and I am just so much more emotional now. I seem to have all the symptoms of PMDD and I never used to be like that.
A. hi , i am a doctor and here is my answer. first let we take a look at PMDD:
PMDD is premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that is so severe it can be debilitating due to either physical, mental or emotional symptoms.
Treatment is recommended because PMDD interferes with the sufferer's ability to function in her social or occupational life. The cardinal symptomâsurfacing between ovulation and menstruation, and disappearing within a few days after the onset of the bleedingâis irritability.
Anxiety, anger, and depression may also occur.
The main symptoms, which can be disabling, include:
1-feelings of deep sadness or despair, possible suicide ideation
2-feelings of tension or anxiety
3-panic attacks
4-diarrhea
5-mood swings, crying,
lasting irritability or anger, increased interpersonal conflicts. Typically sufferers are unaware of the impact they have on those close to them
apathy or disinterest in daily activities and relationships
6-yeast infections
7-difficulty concentrating
8-fatigue
9-food cravings or binge eating
10-insomnia or hypersomnia
11-feeling "out of control",
12-increase or decrease in sex drive.
13-increased need for emotional closeness,
14-physical symptoms: bloating, heart palpitations, breast tenderness, headaches, joint or muscle pain, swollen face and nose.
Five or more of these symptoms may indicate PMDD. Symptoms occur during the 2 weeks before the menstrual cycle and disappear within a few days after the onset of the bleeding.
READ CAREFULLY TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PMDD.
if so then here is your treatment options :
Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a well balanced diet may ameliorate some of the effects of PMDD. There is some evidence that vitamin B6 in doses up to 100 mg can alleviate symptoms.
Certain SSRIs ( anti depressin drugs called : sellective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors ) provide relief as well. one of them and the best is : SERTRALINE ( zoloft ) . begin with low dose 25mgld then increase to 50 mg 2-3 times aday ( under supevision from your doctor )
For general PMS relief, your doctor may recommend birth control pills or switching to another pill if you already take one. Other prescription medical interventions will depend upon the types of symptoms that most affect you. For example, if you are affected by bloating and weight gain, your doctor may prescribe a certain type of diuretic (sprionolactone) to help your body eliminate the excess water. If severe breast tenderness is a major complaint, birth control pills are often recommended. If this is insufficient, your doctor may prescribe a medication called bromocriptine to lower your levels of prolactin (a hormone linked to breast tenderness) or an androgen called Danazol®. For dysmenorrhea (painful periods), prescription prostaglandin inhibitors such as Naprosyn® or Ponstel® can be very effective if over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin® or Advil® were not sufficient.
