Intravenous glutathione or glutathione injections has zero short term side effects (other than the pain of being poked by a needle) but may possibly have long term side effects of increasing your chances of developing skin cancer and other skin disorders due to the synthethic glutathione found in glutathione injections/glutathione IV's. The synthetic glutathione inhibits your body's protection of melanin synthesis. Read more: Intravenous glutathione

MaxGXL has no known side effects. However, the MaxGXL does contain ingredients derived from shellfish and mushroom in its gelatin capsule. If you want to avoid these completely or you are allergic, look in to a vegetable capsule (veggie cap) as provided by MaxGXL Sport. It's still the same great stuff, just now in a veggie capsule.

On a side note: A friend of mine who is allergic to seafood began to take the MaxGXL and was elated as she began to feel better and have much more energy.

However, she also developed a rash. She then went to see her physician who told her she was having an allergic reaction to the shellfish. My friend did not want to stop taking the MaxGXL and was told by her doctor that if she could get past a week with the rash she should be fine after that. (It takes about a week for an allergic reaction to work its way out of your system.)
