GlutathioneCan you take glutathione during pregnancy?
Updated 10 Nov 2026
Short answer
Its safety in pregnancy has not been shown. In 2026, EFSA judged S-acetyl glutathione safe for adults at up to 300 mg a day, but its assessment did not cover pregnant or breastfeeding women.[1] No trial of glutathione supplements in pregnant women was found in PubMed. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.[1]
