HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glutathione 500 mg by Biotech Nutritions

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: glutathione (reduced form), 500 mg per capsule. Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes naturally, and this supplement provides it orally.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose (a binder), vegetable capsule material, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate—standard excipients that help form and stabilize the capsule.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Glutathione's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant support and free radical protection.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Cirrhosis, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), oxidative stress, detoxification support — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Glutathione is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Glutathione is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cirrhosis, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Aging.

The evidence for glutathione is mixed depending on what you're taking it for. It's rated possibly effective for reducing nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug cisplatin.

For other uses on the label—nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's disease, athletic performance, and cataracts—the evidence is insufficient to rate it. In plain terms, we don't yet have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Glutathione

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oral glutathione appears generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety data are limited. If you're pregnant, the safety data aren't clear enough, so it's best avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise.

The same goes for breastfeeding—there isn't enough reliable information, so caution and avoidance are recommended. Note: the product monograph flags that inhaled (nebulized) glutathione can cause airway narrowing and cough in people with asthma, but this product is a capsule taken by mouth, so that risk doesn't apply here.

Meds to double-check

Glutathione 500 mg by Biotech Nutritions: Common Questions

Does Glutathione 500 mg by Biotech Nutritions interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Glutathione 500 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Glutathione 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is glutathione safe to take if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough reliable safety information during pregnancy, so it's best avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your situation.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Safety data during breastfeeding are limited, so caution and avoidance are recommended. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
Does glutathione actually work for anything?
It's rated possibly effective for reducing nerve damage caused by cisplatin chemotherapy. For other uses like fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's, athletic performance, and cataracts, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Oral glutathione appears well tolerated in short-term use. The monograph does note that inhaled glutathione can cause airway problems in people with asthma, but since this is a capsule you swallow, that doesn't apply. Long-term safety data are limited.
What is glutathione and why would I take it?
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes naturally. People take it as a supplement for potential antioxidant support, though evidence for most uses is still being studied.
