Is glutathione injection safe?

Not great evidence: The question is, what are you getting the injection for? There are parkinson disease "doctors" who promote this scam as a treatment for parkinson disease when a recent trial did not show benefit. It is very expensive and of dubious benefit.

Are glutathione capsules safe?

Glutathione capsules: Glutathione capsules are safe. They aren't necessarily absorbed very well, but are not harmful. It would actually be digested! You could get I.V. glutathione or take supplements of the components the body uses to make glutathione itself.
