How Glutathione works
Glutathione helps protect your cells from oxidative stress, the everyday wear and tear from metabolism, exercise, and your environment. Levels can dip with age, stress, and illness.
Swallowed capsules are largely broken down during digestion. A lozenge dissolves slowly in your mouth instead.

Glutathione questions
Will glutathione lighten my skin?
No, and we don't prescribe it for that. The FDA has warned against products marketed for skin lightening.
Why a lozenge instead of a supplement capsule?
Capsules pass through your digestive system, where much of the glutathione is broken down. A lozenge dissolves in your mouth instead.
Is glutathione FDA-approved?
No. It is compounded by a state-licensed pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved or reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
