Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and NOW's Glutathione 500 mg formula?
Both use the reduced, active form of glutathione. This product delivers 250 mg per capsule, while NOW's 500 mg formula delivers double that amount along with milk thistle extract and alpha lipoic acid, so the right choice depends on your target daily intake.
Should I take glutathione with food or on an empty stomach?
NOW suggests taking one capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach, though some people prefer taking it with a meal if they notice stomach sensitivity.
Is this glutathione supplement vegan?
Yes, it is made with a vegetable capsule and is vegan and vegetarian, and it is also dairy, egg, soy, gluten, nut, and sesame free.
What does 'reduced form' glutathione mean?
Reduced glutathione, or GSH, is the active form of the molecule, as opposed to its oxidized form; NOW uses the reduced form in this product.
Who should check with a doctor before taking this?
Adults who are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition should consult a physician before use, and it should be kept out of reach of children.
