Hello,
Thanks for the query.

Glutathione is an anti oxidant.

It has been wrongly popularised as skin lightening capsule.

There can be side effect on liver.

Please avoid using this.

If you want to take glutathione, Take it in the form of vegetables and fruits.

Fruits like apple has lot of glutathione.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
