With insuranceNot publishedNot covered. Medicare Part D and commercial pharmacy benefits cover FDA approved drugs for accepted indications; compounded or unapproved peptides are paid in cash. Oral glutathione supplements are sold over the counter and are not insurance items. [6]
Telehealth program$75 to $100per monthPublished prices from two licensed telehealth providers for compounded injectable glutathione for home use, checked 2026-09-22, including the consultation, medication, supplies, and shipping from a licensed US pharmacy: one lists $99 per month month to month or $75 per month on a 3 month plan; the other lists $100 for one month down to $75 per month on a 12 month plan. Glutathione is nominated for the 503A bulks list and compounding continues under FDA's interim policy where state boards permit. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Compounded pharmacyNot publishedNo dated lawful 503A pharmacy price found. The one published per-vial pharmacy list we had checked also marketed routine compounded GLP-1 copies and research-style stacks, so we do not use it as a source. Compounded prices are usually bundled into the telehealth or clinic channels above. [4]
In-person clinic$35 to $50per dosePrice per glutathione injection or IV add-on from a registered nurse staffed IV clinic's published menu, checked 2026-09-22: $50 per injection ($35 for members) and $50 as an add-on to another IV infusion. Glutathione is most often sold as an add-on to other infusions. [1] [4]
