Okay lang po ba mag take ng glutathione supplement kapag may history po ng anemia? Umiinom pa rin po kasi ako ng multivitamins with iron.


Translation: Is it ok for me to take Glutathione supplement, if I had anemia? I am still taking multivitamins with iron now.

Thank you for your question.

Glutathione supplements are only regarded as unsafe to use if one is pregnant, breastfeeding, or has asthma. It is safe to use even with a history of anemia or use of iron supplements.

However, you should inform your doctor before you start or stop any medication.

I hope I have answered your question.

Best wishes.

Thank you Dr. Gregory Okhifun for your reply. I considered your answer to my question.

One more question, is it not bad for those who has ulceritis?

Hoping for your response.

Thanks for your feedback and question.

Glutathione use is not contraindicated in patients with ulcers, as a matter of fact, it has been shown to improve symptoms in ulcer patients. Glutathione is involved in clearing off the agents which cause the inflammation of the stomach in patients with ulcers. However, this is not a routine anti-ulcer medication.

I hope I have answered your question and I'd be glad to respond to more of them.

Best wishes.
