HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Liposomal Glutathione 166 mg by Healthy Items

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 3 active ingredients.

This product contains 3 active ingredients. Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes naturally, and this form uses liposomal technology — tiny fat-wrapped droplets — to help absorption.

The fat component is derived from olive, and the product also contains trans fats and saturated fats (we couldn't find detailed data on those). The inactive ingredients are extra virgin olive oil, olive leaf extract, stevia, natural and artificial flavors, potassium sorbate, and purified water.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity — rated "Possibly Effective" (Glutathione) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence here is mixed. Glutathione has possibly effective evidence for reducing nerve damage (neurotoxicity) caused by the chemotherapy drug cisplatin.

For other conditions — nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and cataracts — the evidence isn't strong enough to rate. The fat component (olive) also lacks reliable evidence for the conditions studied: osteoporosis, indigestion, exercise-related infections, shingles, flu, and arthritis.

There's not enough data to say whether this product works for those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Glutathione Olive

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • 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, though long-term safety data is limited. One caution: inhaled (nebulized) glutathione can narrow airways and cause shortness of breath and cough in people with asthma — but this is a liquid you'd swallow, not inhale.

The fat (olive) in food amounts is very safe; concentrated supplements are less studied. Possible side effects from the olive component include headache and stomach discomfort.

One person in a trial reported skin issues and acne. If you're allergic to olive tree pollen, you may react to this ingredient.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information for glutathione — the data advises against it unless your doctor says otherwise. The same goes for breastfeeding: safety data is lacking, so caution and avoidance are advised.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 2 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Even so, it's always smart to confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist that it won't affect any medications you're on.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is built around glutathione, an antioxidant with possibly effective evidence for cisplatin-related nerve damage but insufficient evidence for most other conditions people take it for. It's generally well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety isn't as clear.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or have asthma, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Liposomal Glutathione 166 mg by Healthy Items: Common Questions

Does Liposomal Glutathione 166 mg by Healthy Items interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Liposomal Glutathione 166 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Liposomal Glutathione 166 mg contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
The safety data for glutathione in pregnancy isn't strong enough — there isn't reliable information either way. The safety data advises against it unless your doctor specifically approves. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it while pregnant.
Is this safe to take while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information for glutathione during breastfeeding, so caution and avoidance are advised. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it while nursing.
Does this really help with Alzheimer disease or athletic performance?
The evidence for glutathione in Alzheimer disease and athletic performance isn't established — there's insufficient data to say whether it works. We do have possibly effective evidence for it against nerve damage from a specific chemotherapy drug, but not for most other uses.
What side effects might I get?
Short-term, oral glutathione is generally well tolerated. The olive component may cause headache or stomach discomfort; one person in a trial reported skin issues and acne. If you're sensitive to olive tree pollen, you could have a reaction. Long-term safety data is limited.
What's the liposomal form, and why does it matter?
Liposomal means the glutathione is wrapped in tiny fat droplets (liposomes) to help your body absorb it better. The product uses extra virgin olive oil and other fats for this purpose.
Does this product have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes — it contains extra virgin olive oil, olive leaf extract, stevia, natural and artificial flavors, potassium sorbate, and purified water as inactive ingredients to make up the formulation.
