Glutathione with Milk Thistle from NOW Foods
Are you looking for a supplement in which glutathione is combined with milk thistle and alpha-lipoic acid? Then this capsule from NOW Foods may be of interest. Each capsule contains 500 mg of reduced glutathione, 100 mg of milk thistle extract and 50 mg of alpha-lipoic acid. One bottle contains 60 plant-based capsules. That is a two-month supply if you take one daily, as indicated on the label.
What glutathione actually is
Glutathione is a tripeptide (a small protein consisting of three amino acids). Those three building blocks are cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Your body produces it itself, mainly in the liver, and you can find it in almost every cell. What many people do not know is that glutathione exists in two forms. The reduced form (GSH) is the active variant that can donate electrons. As soon as that happens, it changes into the oxidized form (GSSG). Your cells then convert it back into the active form. This capsule contains the reduced form, so the variant your body uses itself. Each capsule contains 500 mg of glutathione.
Milk thistle and alpha-lipoic acid as companions
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a species of thistle with purple flowers. You extract silymarin from the fruit and seeds, a group of plant substances called flavonolignans. The extract in this capsule is standardized to 80% silymarin, which amounts to 80 mg per capsule. This standardization means that every batch contains the same amount of silymarin. Milk thistle supports liver health*. And milk thistle helps maintain heart health*. In addition, each capsule contains 50 mg of alpha-lipoic acid. This is a sulfur-containing fatty acid that your body produces in small amounts in the mitochondria (the powerhouses of your cells). Alpha-lipoic acid dissolves in both water and fat.
Why these three are together in one capsule
The difference with a separate glutathione supplement lies in the combination. NOW Foods has combined glutathione, milk thistle and alpha-lipoic acid in one capsule. Good to know: the capsule is made of hypromellose (a plant-based cellulose), so it contains no gelatin. The recommendation is to take it on an empty stomach. Many people choose the time right after waking up, half an hour before breakfast.
This glutathione capsule is made in the United States, in a facility that operates according to GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice). NOW Foods tests raw materials and finished products in its own laboratories. Anyone looking for a glutathione supplement with a clear label and three recognizable substances has a straightforward formula here.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to take glutathione?
The best time is on an empty stomach, for example in the morning half an hour before breakfast. That is also stated on the label. Take the capsule with a glass of water and stick to 1 capsule per day.
What is the difference between reduced and regular glutathione?
Reduced glutathione (GSH) is the active form that your body uses itself. Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) has already given up an electron and must first be converted back. Supplements that only list 'glutathione' on the label do not always state which form is in them. It clearly states it here: the reduced form.
Why not use liposomal glutathione?
This capsule offers a higher dose instead of using a liposome (a tiny fat droplet surrounding the substance). Liposomal products often contain 100 to 250 mg per serving, while this capsule contains 500 mg. It also includes milk thistle and alpha-lipoic acid, which are not found in most liposomal products. Which approach you prefer is mainly a personal choice.
What does alpha-lipoic acid do in this formula?
Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing fatty acid that your body produces itself in small amounts. It dissolves in water and fat. At 50mg per capsule, it is a supplement to the main ingredient, not a leading player.
Is this the same as taking NAC?
No. NAC (N-acetylcysteine) is a precursor: your body uses it to make glutathione itself. Here you are taking the glutathione itself, already ready to use in the reduced form. Some people combine both, but that is not necessary to use this product. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
