WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?
Glutathione is the body’s most powerful endogenous antioxidant, playing a key role in detoxification, mitochondrial health, immune function, and cellular repair. IV glutathione therapy delivers this critical molecule directly into circulation, bypassing the digestive system to achieve maximum effectiveness.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
✔ Potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger ✔ Supports liver detoxification and toxin clearance ✔ Promotes mitochondrial health and cellular energy ✔ Reduces inflammation and supports immune balance ✔ May improve skin brightness and reduce pigmentation creating the "Glutathione Glow"
WHAT IS NEXT?
We typically start with 800–1,000 mg IV glutathione, delivered as a push or slow drip, and tailor future doses based on your health goals and response. Dosing Guideline Examples: General Wellness and Longevity: 800–1,000 mg glutathione. Helps maintain mitochondrial health and antioxidant defense. Energy and Detoxification: 1,500–2,000 mg glutathione. Aimed at patients with high oxidative stress, fatigue, or toxin exposure. Cognitive Longevity and Neuroprotection: 800–1,000 mg glutathione. Reduces neuroinflammation and protects against oxidative damage in the brain.
FREQUENCY
Weekly infusions are recommended for 4 to 8 weeks during the induction phase, followed by monthly maintenance, while biweekly infusions may be advised during periods of increased stress or toxin exposure.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Hydrate well to facilitate IV access and support detoxification pathways
- Hydrate well to facilitate IV access.
- Take any prescribed blood pressure medication as directed.
- A clinical staff member will obtain IV access before starting the infusion.
- Can be administered 10–20 minutes via IV push or added to an infusion.
- Infusions typically last 45-75 minutes and are administered slowly to minimize discomfort.
- You may notice a slight sulfuric or garlic-like taste during or shortly after the infusion.
SIDE EFFECTS
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. While generally well tolerated, IV Glutathione does have a few considerations:
- Temporary lightheadedness or nausea
- Headache or fatigue
- Mild flushing
Most patients feel lighter, more energized, and mentally clearer with glowing skin following glutathione therapy.
