HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Reduced Glutathione 250 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

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 has one active ingredient: glutathione (brand name Setria). Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes naturally.

The capsule itself contains inactive ingredients: rice flour, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

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 for cellular and immune health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Cirrhosis, Cystic fibrosis, Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) — and 4 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, Cystic fibrosis, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Parkinson disease, and more.

The evidence for glutathione is mixed. It's possibly effective for reducing nerve damage from the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, but for other uses listed here — nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and cataracts — the evidence isn't strong enough for us to rate it.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about what the science actually supports.

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 is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but we don't have much data on long-term safety. During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety information, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor says otherwise.

The same goes for breastfeeding — the safety data is too limited to recommend it. One note: if you have asthma and use inhaled or nebulized glutathione (not the oral form in this product), it can trigger airway narrowing and shortness of breath, so that form is not for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Glutathione

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 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the glutathione in this product. Run your specific medications through the tool on this page to be sure — absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that may help with cisplatin-related nerve damage, but evidence for other uses is limited. Oral forms appear well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety isn't well established.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or considering this for a specific condition, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Reduced Glutathione 250 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Reduced Glutathione 250 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Reduced Glutathione 250 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Reduced Glutathione 250 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 this safe to take long-term?
Oral glutathione appears well tolerated in the short term, but we don't have reliable data on how safe it is over months or years. If you're thinking about taking it regularly, ask your pharmacist what's known and what gaps exist in the research.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough reliable safety information during pregnancy. It's best to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. This is a decision to make with your doctor, not one to make on your own.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety information during breastfeeding either. Caution and avoidance are advised — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
Does this actually work for anything?
Glutathione is possibly effective for reducing nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. For the other conditions listed — fatty liver disease, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and cataracts — the evidence isn't strong enough to say it works.
What is glutathione and why would I need it?
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body naturally produces. Some people take it as a supplement hoping it'll help with liver health, brain health, or athletic recovery, but evidence for those uses is limited. Its strongest evidence is for a narrow purpose: protecting nerves during cisplatin chemotherapy.
