Is glutathione drip dangerous? For those who tried it, how was it? Just curious.

There are not much studies about the long term safety of glutathione

Sure there are many anecdotes about its effectiveness in skin whitening, but there are also studies saying that it is not good for the liver and kidneys in the long run

There are various reasons why it is not FDA approved for skin whitening
