Does Immunocal Help With Primary Amenorrhea Or Absence Of Periods?

My daughter has an endocrine problem called primary amenorrhea. She is now 28 years old, and is healthy and active, but has never had a menstrual period. I've been to lots of doctors to try to help her. Will Immunocal help her with primary amenorrhea?

Please visit our medical disclaimer before proceeding.

Immunocal raises glutathione, so let's find out if glutathione can help with primary amenorrhea.

I did a search on PubMed, since this is where all the published research is on glutathione. When it's not mentioned in my glutathione handbook, and this is not, I search here.

A specific search for "glutathione amenorrhea" brings up 4 results. At least one of them at a glance concerns secondary amenorrhea, which is not what your daughter appears to be suffering from. A search for "glutathione primary amenorrhea", which according to your description, matches her symptoms, brings up 0 results.

You can do the same search here if you'd like to view the results for yourself.

What this tells me is there is not enough published research on this subject to suggest whether or not raising your daughter's glutathione levels will directly affect her condition.

Oftentimes, raising glutathione helps indirectly with other problems associated with the condition you are experiencing, such as the case with diabetes.

So, next, we look to the possible cause.

It's interesting to note that according to WebMD, the cause of primary amenorrhea is often not known. Primary amenorrhea is when a young woman has not had her first period by the age of 16. Here's what it had to say further:

"Amenorrhea can be caused by any number of changes in the organs, glands, and hormones involved in menstruation.
Possible causes of primary amenorrhea (when a woman never gets her first period) include:

• Failure of the ovaries (female sex organs that hold eggs).


• Problems in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or the pituitary gland (a gland in the brain that makes hormones involved in menstruation).


• Poorly formed reproductive organs.

In many cases, the cause of primary amenorrhea is not known."
