Glutathione is an effective supplement. Use as needed or as directed.
While the dosage of glutathione in this supplement is only 25 mg per lozenge, it is still very effective. This is likely due to the lozenge delivery system.
While testing this supplement prior to going to market, the dosage of glutathione was originally at 50 mg. I found that 50 mg was too strong for about 50% of the users and that 25 mg was very well tolerated and sufficient for most users.
Personally, I do very well with 25 mg of glutathione.
The 50 mg of glutathione, when delivered by lozenge, was too strong for me and my family members.
There are three common signs that may occur from taking too much glutathione or taking it too frequently:
- Headache
- Irritability
- Difficulty sleeping
- Nausea or light-headedness
If you do not already experience these, and they started after supplementing with glutathione, reduce the frequency of taking it. You may want to stop supplementing for a few days.
The reason why headaches, irritability and sleep difficulties occur is primarily due to glutamate. When taking glutathione at higher amounts, glutamate levels in your body naturally tend to increase. Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter. Too much of an excitatory neurotransmitter is associated with headache, irritability and sleep difficulties.
In the event you do take too much glutathione and you are experiencing these uncomfortable feelings, consider supporting healthy glutamate levels by taking Lithium Orotate and Magnesium Plus. These nutrients are known to support healthy glutamate metabolism.†
There are some days you’re exposed to more chemicals than others. These days, you likely want to support healthy glutathione levels with Optimal Glutathione Plus Lozenge.†
On days where your chemical exposures are low, you may not need to supplement.
There are common times that one should consider supplementing with Optimal Glutathione Plus Lozenge:†

As always, talk with your healthcare professional.
