Can Glutathione cause allergic reaction, such as fast heart beating, feeling cold, etc. ?

Answer:

An allergic reaction can happen from foods, bee stings, poison ivy, and medications like penicillin just to name a few. It is the body’s way of triggering the immune system to eliminate the invading foreign body.

If you have a milk allergy, because glutathione is a whey (milk) protein, it might cause a reaction. If you normally react with a fast heart beat, and feel cold after consuming milk products, then you might have much the same reaction to glutathione, but likely only if you are extremely sensitive.

Immunocal has been manufactured by a special patented process that successfully removes about 99% of the whey, so that only those individuals with extreme cases of milk allergies must avoid this product. Because not all glutathione products have been subject to this special process, it is possible that the specific glutathione that you are taking has more whey in it that could trigger the allergic reaction that you speak of.
