Glutathione is the most abundant and important antioxidant produced by the human body. It plays a central role in detoxification (neutralizing free radicals, heavy metals, and environmental toxins), immune system regulation, DNA repair, and cellular energy production. Depleted glutathione levels are associated with accelerated aging, chronic fatigue, neurodegenerative diseases, liver disease, and increased susceptibility to infections. This test measures total glutathione in the blood. It is frequently ordered by longevity-focused clinicians, patients with chronic illness, and those monitoring their antioxidant status during detoxification protocols or supplementation with NAC (N-acetylcysteine) or liposomal glutathione.
Vitamin and nutrient testing identifies deficiencies that can drive fatigue, immune dysfunction, neurological symptoms, and long-term disease risk — and confirms that supplementation is working.
Anyone with restrictive diets (vegan, low-fat, low-carb), malabsorption conditions, fatigue, hair loss, mood changes, or currently supplementing and wanting to verify dosing.

Typical reference range layout
Lab reports show where your value sits relative to established reference intervals—your physician interprets this in context for you.
No fasting required. If taking glutathione or NAC supplements, note the dose and timing for your provider.
A Glutathione, Total test costs $119.99 at TestWell — $125.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $250.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.
