Overview
•Glutathione at 500 mg is well within safe daily limits (up to 1,000 mg commonly used), with minimal side effects like mild gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals.
•Milk thistle extract (100 mg, standardized to 80% silymarin) poses low risk but may interact with medications metabolized by CYP3A4 enzymes, such as statins or blood thinners.
•Alpha lipoic acid (50 mg) is safe at this dose, though higher amounts (>600 mg) could lower blood sugar; monitor if diabetic.
•Veg capsules are suitable for vegetarians/vegans, but those with soy allergies should confirm sourcing as stearic acid may derive from soy.
•Generally safe for healthy adults; consult physician if pregnant, nursing, or on chemotherapy, as glutathione may interfere with certain treatments.
•No major contamination concerns with NOW Foods' GMP-certified manufacturing, but long-term use should be monitored for nutrient imbalances.
