Does glutathione supplementation actually work?

The evidence is mixed. Glutathione is the body's own main antioxidant inside cells. It is sold as a supplement for detox and skin lightening, including in shot forms that the FDA has flagged as not approved drugs. This site's review found 3 studies, 2 of them in people. Across that record, the evidence that supplements really raise the body's own glutathione levels is not strong in a steady way.
