Safety Notes
Generally recognized as safe when used as directed. Oral absorption of regular (non-liposomal) glutathione is limited.

Those with asthma should use with caution as glutathione may act as a bronchial constrictor in some sensitive individuals. Intravenous administration should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals.
