Updated October 2026 from our full reviews · How we score
Lemon oral strips with 80 mg of glutathione each; easy to take, but studies used 250 mg a day or more and the skin evidence is thin.

Vegan gummies with 5,000 mcg of biotin plus B vitamins and zinc for about $1 a day; biotin rarely helps hair without a deficiency and can skew lab tests.

Pros and cons
Liposomal Glutathione Direct Strips
- Fully disclosed amounts with no proprietary blend
- Pleasant sour-lemon strip that dissolves without water
- Made in the company's own California facility
- Oral glutathione raised blood levels in a six-month trial at 250 to 1,000 mg a day
- Individually sealed strips are easy to carry
- 80 mg per strip is well below the 250 to 1,000 mg a day used in studies
- About $1.23 a strip, or roughly $3.70 a day to reach a studied dose
- Absorption and brightening claims rest on small, company-affiliated data with inconsistent figures
- Contains FD&C Yellow No. 6 despite an "additive free" badge
Hair Skin and Nails Gummies
- Vegan pectin gummy, free of gelatin and gluten
- Fully disclosed label with no proprietary blend
- Adds vitamins A, C, D, E, B6, B12, folate and zinc at mostly moderate doses
- Buyers consistently praise the raspberry flavor and soft chew
- Brand advertises a 100% money-back guarantee
- 5,000 mcg of biotin has little evidence for hair or nails in people who aren't deficient and can distort some lab tests
- About $1 a day at the brand's list price, several times the cost of mainstream biotin gummies
- No named third-party testing; the label misprints vitamin D as 10 mg and uses titanium dioxide for color
- Marketing promises to fight hair loss and heal the scalp, which the evidence does not support
Our verdicts
Liposomal Glutathione Direct Strips
These strips are a pleasant, no-water way to take glutathione, made in the US with a fully disclosed formula. But one strip supplies about a third of the lowest dose studied, the skin-brightening evidence is modest, and reaching a studied dose costs about $3.70 a day. The marketing runs well ahead of the evidence, so buy it for convenience rather than promised results.

Hair Skin and Nails Gummies
WEEM is a pleasant-tasting vegan gummy with a broad, fully disclosed vitamin label. Its signature 5,000 mcg of biotin, though, is unlikely to change hair or nails unless you are deficient, the marketing goes well beyond the evidence, and at about $1 a day it costs far more than comparable biotin gummies. If you want to try biotin, a cheaper product does the same job, and new or patchy hair loss deserves a clinician visit first.
