Does Alcohol Affect L-Glutathione?

Amount or timing may matter

The short answer

Alcohol metabolism massively depletes glutathione stores. Supplementing during active drinking is ineffective as the liver is overwhelmed.

How to arrange timing

Take glutathione before drinking or the next morning, not during.

Important context

The effect can also change with food amount, supplement dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
