Glutathione & NAC — South Africa
Liposomal glutathione, S-acetyl glutathione and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) — the forms that actually raise your levels. For liver detox, skin brightness, immune support and recovery. Consultant-vetted. Free delivery over R400.
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 — we'd reach for one of these protected forms first.
What's glutathione for?
Liver detox, skin brightness, immune support, post-exercise recovery. One we're often asked about after a long winter. Also worth considering if you drink regularly or are on long-term medication.
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.

From the counter
The body's own antioxidant, supplemented sensibly
Glutathione is made in your own cells — the supplement question is how to support those levels, and the honest answer involves absorption. Plain glutathione struggles through digestion, which is why this shelf favours liposomal and acetylated forms, plus the raw materials the body uses to build its own: NAC and glycine.
Buying it with open eyes
This is a category with big marketing energy — skin-brightening promises especially — and our counter keeps it factual: glutathione contributes to the body's normal antioxidant defences, results vary, and consistency over months matters more than format wars. The building-block route (NAC + glycine) often costs less than finished glutathione; a consultant will lay out both options plainly on WhatsApp, free. Prices include VAT; delivery is free over R400.
