HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glutathione Reduced 500 mg by Jarrow Formulas
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: glutathione at 500 mg per capsule. Glutathione is an antioxidant your body naturally makes.
The capsule itself is made from inactive ingredients — hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which help deliver the active dose but have no therapeutic role.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for glutathione is mixed. It's possibly effective for reducing nerve damage (neurotoxicity) caused by the chemotherapy drug cisplatin.
For other uses — nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and cataracts — there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Oral glutathione appears generally well tolerated in the short term, but we don't have solid long-term safety data. During pregnancy, the safety data advises against it unless your doctor says otherwise.
For breastfeeding, caution and avoidance are advised because there isn't enough reliable information. One note: if you have asthma, inhaled (nebulized) glutathione can narrow airways and cause shortness of breath or cough — but this product is a capsule, not inhaled, so that risk doesn't apply here.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for glutathione in our data. That said, check your exact medications using the tool on this page or ask your pharmacist, especially if you're on anything for liver or kidney function.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Glutathione may help with cisplatin-related nerve damage, but evidence for other uses is unclear. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
