3-can it work if taken through mouth
4-is it safe if taken during pregnancy specially if i got pregnant while using it ,i mean befor missing period,and during lactation

 Hello,
The amount of research on glutathione as a supplement is very limited so we really can't say how much good it may do. Additionally it is probably not well absorbed into the body when taken by mouth so in supplemental tablet form it may be a waste of money, though probably not harmful unless you have a milk allergy or have had an organ transplant. I am not aware of any improvement in absorption when taken with vitamin C. I would not take it while pregnant because it's best to avoid any drugs your doctor has not approved. We don't know exactly how supplements will affect a developing baby so the safest course is to avoid them. I think the claim about skin lightening is questionable and have found nothing to support this.
It is naturally occurring in the body and performs an important function. Dean Jones, PhD, professor of biochemistry and director of nutritional health sciences at Emory University in Atlanta says, "Glutathione occurs naturally in many foods, and people who eat well probably have enough in their diets."
Best wishes.
