Photodynamic therapy: innovative approaches for antibacterial and anticancer treatments
Aging (Reduced Synthesis Capacity) As you age, production of glutathione declines due to: Reduced activity of gamma-glutamylcysteine ligase (GCL) , the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione synthesis Decreased cellular energy (ATP) to fuel glutathione recycling Lower levels of precursor amino acids (especially cysteine and glycine) Studies show glutathione levels drop 10-15% per decade after age 40 [3]
It notes that elevated homocysteine or markers of hepatic steatosis might theoretically favor including Lipo B, but adds that no consensus guideline currently recommends the combination on those biomarkers alone

Notably, animal models have demonstrated that transferring dysbiotic microbiota from CFS/ME patients to germ-free mice can induce fatigue-like behaviors, supporting a causal role for the microbiome in disease pathogenesis ( 3.5.4 Gut microbiota-based therapeutic interventions 3.5.4.1 Probiotics Given these findings, probiotic supplementation, particularly with strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium , has shown potential to restore microbial balance, enhance SCFA production, and reduce inflammation in CFS/ME patients (Carrasco-Querol et al., 2024
