The evidence in words
The verdict
For oxidative stress markers, Glutathione earns evidence grade C (small effect, mixed consistency) — the evidence is limited or mixed. Raised stores
How it might work
It neutralizes reactive oxygen species and recycles other antioxidants; oral absorption is historically poor, which is why precursors are often preferred.
How to use it
250–1,000 mg/day (liposomal for absorption), or supply precursors (NAC, glycine).
Safety & cautions
Well tolerated; skin-lightening IV use is a separate, unregulated concern.
Bottom line
Real antioxidant, awkward to dose orally. Liposomal forms work; NAC + glycine is the value route.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
