While glutathione is generally considered safe for most people, there are some substances and medications that should not be used with glutathione, as they may interact with its effects.
Here are some things to avoid or use with caution when taking glutathione:
- Chemotherapy drugs: Glutathione may interfere with the effectiveness of some chemotherapy drugs, so it should not be used during chemotherapy treatment without the supervision of a healthcare professional.
- Immunosuppressants: Glutathione may enhance the immune system, so it should not be used with immunosuppressant medications, as they can reduce the immune response.
- Acetaminophen: Glutathione may help to detoxify the liver, but taking it with high doses of acetaminophen (such as in Tylenol) may increase the risk of liver damage.
- Other antioxidants: Taking high doses of other antioxidants (such as vitamin C or E) with glutathione may interfere with its effects, as they may compete for absorption and metabolism.
- Alcohol: Drinking alcohol may deplete glutathione levels in the body, so it is recommended to avoid or limit alcohol consumption when taking glutathione.
It is always recommended to speak with a healthcare professional before taking any supplements or making changes to your medication regimen.
