Compounded glutathione at a glance

Compounded glutathione through Cora Health is a tripeptide made of three amino acids (glutamate, cysteine and glycine), prepared as a compounded injectable solution if a licensed provider prescribes it. VialsRx, a US-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy, prepares it, and compounded glutathione is not FDA-approved. The compounded glutathione membership through Cora Health is $89 billed monthly, $225 every 3 months, $390 every 6 months, or $660 every 12 months. Each price covers your provider visit and check-ins, the medication if it is prescribed, and shipping, with no other fees. Cora Health connects patients with licensed providers, who decide whether to prescribe; Cora Health does not prescribe, compound or dispense medication.

Is compounded glutathione FDA-approved?

Glutathione is in Category 1 of FDA's list of bulk drug substances nominated for 503A compounding, the substances FDA is still evaluating, on the list updated May 14, 2026. In June 2022, FDA's position before its Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee was that glutathione should not be added to FDA's list of bulk ingredients pharmacies can use in 503A compounding; the committee voted to recommend adding it. The committee's votes are advisory, and FDA has not issued a rule. Compounded glutathione is not FDA-approved.

FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before they reach patients.
