Anaemia due to other disorders of glutathione metabolism is caused by an inability to produce or utilise glutathione, an important antioxidant and detoxifying agent in the body. this leads to the body's inability to produce enough red blood cells, resulting in anaemia.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To increase the levels of glutathione in the body
- Increase dietary intake of glutathione-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes.
- Supplement with antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium.
- Take a probiotic supplement to support gut health and improve glutathione production.
- Increase intake of sulfur-rich foods such as garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables.
- Increase consumption of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, nuts, and seeds.
- Increase exercise to improve glutathione production.
- Reduce stress levels to reduce oxidative damage.
- Reduce exposure to environmental toxins.
- Take glutathione supplements.
- Take supplements that increase glutathione production such as N-acetyl-cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid, and S-adenosyl-methionine.
