Glutathione is the body's most abundant antioxidant, a tripeptide made from cysteine, glycine, and glutamate, predominantly in the liver. It's studied via various routes, each with different evidence and effects.
| Dose | Frequency | Duration | Route | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral capsule | 250-1,000 mg/day | daily, sometimes split into two doses | 4 weeks - 6 months | Oral |
| Liposomal / sublingual | ~300-500 mg/day | daily | 1-4 weeks | Liposomal / Sublingual |
| Intranasal | 100-200 mg | three times daily (300-600 mg/day total) | 3 months | Nasal spray |
| IV (clinic) | 600-1,200 mg/session | once or twice weekly | Weekly x6 weeks | Intravenous |
Cycle: Effects, such as skin lightening or elevated body stores, are tied to ongoing use and reverse upon cessation.
Benefits and research observations: Skin pigmentation changes appear in 2-4 weeks, continuing over 4-12 weeks, and fade after stopping. Body glutathione stores rise over months but return to baseline within a month of stopping.
