Glutathione
What it is, what people take it for, and what the research actually shows, in plain language.
Research stage: Small human studies
What is Glutathione?
The body's main antioxidant, a tripeptide the liver makes. Sold as capsules, injections and IV drips.
What do people take Glutathione for?
Skin brightening, "detox", energy.
What does the research show about Glutathione?
Oral glutathione is poorly absorbed; intravenous use has specific medical roles. Evidence for the wellness and skin uses is small and inconsistent.
Is Glutathione right for me?
That depends on your history, your labs and your goals, which is a conversation for a physician rather than a web page. At Aether Medicine in King of Prussia, near Philadelphia, or by video for patients in Pennsylvania, a physician-led evaluation looks at all three to find out whether Glutathione, or something else, is right for you.
