TAD-600, aka Glutathione, Mini Log
I have recently received a few bottles of TAD600. For those who do not know, TAD600 is 600mg of glutathione. Glutathione is a naturally occurring, very powerful antioxidant. When you take liver supplements such as NAC, it works by increasing your body's output of glutathione, which protects your organs from free radicals and toxins that can damage them. When supplementing with glutathione directly, you are giving your body a much more effective dose.
I was doing some reading on WebMD, to see what the medical community thinks of this stuff. They more or less say it is one of the best things ever!
Glutathione is a substance produced naturally by the liver. It is also found in fruits, vegetables, and meats.
People take glutathione by mouth for treating cataracts and glaucoma, preventing aging, treating or preventing alcoholism, asthma, cancer, heart disease (atherosclerosis and high cholesterol), hepatitis, liver disease, diseases that weaken the body’s defense system (including AIDS and chronic fatigue syndrome), memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson’s disease. Glutathione is also used for maintaining the body’s defense system (immune system) and fighting metal and drug poisoning.
Glutathione is breathed in (inhaled) for treating lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and lung disease in people with HIV disease.
Healthcare providers give glutathione as a shot (by injection into the muscle) for preventing poisonous side effects of cancer treatment (chemotherapy) and for treating the inability to father a child (male infertility).
Healthcare providers also give glutathione intravenously (by injection into the vein, by IV) for preventing “tired blood” (anemia) in kidney patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment, preventing kidney problems after heart bypass surgery, treating Parkinson’s disease, improving blood flow and decreasing clotting in individuals with “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), treating diabetes, and preventing toxic side effects of chemotherapy.
They also list NO known side effects!
I got my baseline blood work done yesterday morning and expect to have results sometime Friday afternoon. I am going to compare the TAD600 to my current regimen of 600mg of NAC and 250mg of TUDCA daily. I will not change anything else about what I take so it stays consistent. I am taking 100mg of Proviron (split into 2 equal doses) daily, 80mg of Tbol (split into 2 equal doses) daily, 500mg of Test-Cyp weekly, 250mg of Deca weekly (for joint support), and 500mg Primo weekly . I know most of those items do no affect the liver at all, but I wanted to lay it all out there. I also take ibuprofen as needed (which is hard on the liver).
More to come, but the main items of interest in the blood work will be AST, ALT, and Bilirubin.

I've been looking for something like this. Can anyone message me where it may be available?
Thanks for posting this. This compound is on my list to try, and I look forward to hearing about more positive effects, if any. Keep posting!
I took my blood test yesterday and got the results today. I wish I had researched codeine a bit before doing the blood test, as codeine is hard on the liver. The doctor gave me both cough syrup with codeine and flonaise to combat my sickness. My liver values are quite high due to the codeine - meaning my results are skewed. I was horribly shocked to see the high numbers!
My other out of range readings are easily explained. The Test, LH, and FSH levels are out of range due to me being on TRT and blasting right now. EOS Absolute is high due to seasonal allergies. The RDW and Platelet count is high due to me giving blood too often - I gave blood two weeks before GenCon and then gave again while at GenCon (they advertised it as "creating Life Potions" - I could not resist!). The high RDW means I have a lot more immature red blood cells than normal and a high platelet is usually caused by either inflammation or by a low iron level. My throat was inflamed and I am most likely low on iron now that I gave so much blood in such a short amount of time. The treatment is a low dose aspirin a day and monitor it until it returns to normal.
Onto the blood test results:

Codeine is not liver toxic. Maybe try to get a preparation without tylenol? I would be concerned about the RDW. 2 units of blood in a month should not have that effect.
Thank you, I will look further into it!
I wound up pretty sick after GenCon - so much so that I had almost no energy and could barely get out of bed. I am feeling a bit better today, though. I took my last injection on Sunday evening and have already purchased my next set of bloods, to be drawn on Thursday most likely.
Sorry for the lack of updates - I was at GenCon most of last week. I took my third weekly dose, no real change. I will be doing new bloods in a week or so.
Wow, I really need to update this - forgot about it!
My urine was VERY dark and Very foul smelling for two days, after which it started to lighten up and the smell reduced. It returned to normal appearance after 5 days and the smell was back to normal after 6 days.
The psoriasis on the front of my left ankle has vanished and now looks like a light scar! I was shocked by this, completely unexpected. No more itching! YAY!
I took my second 600mg dose yesterday. It hurt a little more than the first one, but nothing to write home about. This morning, my urine was darker than yesterday but nothing like it was originally and it did not smell any stronger than normal.
Blood work is in. I need to up my AI - I have been forgetting to take a dose when I use TNE, and I obviously should! Both my ALT and AST are high, so we will see if the TAD600 drops it into the normal range. My bilirubin is good, so that cannot be verified...unless it goes bad!
