What our consultants would suggest

Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant — your liver, immune system and skin all run on it. Your levels drop with age, stress, alcohol and statin use.

Catch is: standard glutathione capsules are largely destroyed in the gut. Our consultants would point you at liposomal glutathione, S-acetyl glutathione, or NAC (the precursor) — these are the forms that actually raise blood levels.

Common questions

Why does the form matter so much?

Plain glutathione is a tripeptide and gets broken down by stomach acid before absorption. Liposomal protects it through the gut and into cells. S-acetyl is a stable modified form. NAC is a precursor your body uses to make its own. All three raise levels — the cheap unprotected capsules do not.

What's glutathione for?

Liver detox, skin brightness, immune support, post-exercise recovery. Increasingly used by post-COVID and chronic-fatigue patients. Also worth considering if you drink regularly or are on long-term meds.

Glutathione for skin lightening?

The skin-brightening effect is real but mild and takes 8–12 weeks. It's not a bleach. For real results, pair with vitamin C and a quality SPF — sun damage will outpace any glutathione benefit otherwise.

How much glutathione per day?

250–500mg liposomal or S-acetyl daily. Or 600mg NAC twice daily as the precursor approach. Take with vitamin C for recycling. Allow 8 weeks before judging skin effects, 4 weeks for energy/detox effects.
