Glutathione
Powerful antioxidant for detoxification, immune defense, and healthy aging support.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Anti-Aging Breakthrough
Potential Benefits of Glutathione (GSH)
Cellular Antioxidant Defense
Endogenous antioxidant that helps neutralize reactive oxygen species and supports redox balance.
Liver & Detox Pathways
Cofactor in phase-II conjugation pathways; often used to support hepatobiliary wellness programs.
Skin & Immune Support
Frequently incorporated for complexion support and immune wellness; evidence varies by indication.
Contraindications & Precautions
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to glutathione or formulation excipients
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding (insufficient safety data)
- Active severe illness unless managed by the treating specialist
Use with Caution
- Asthma or history of bronchospasm (especially with inhaled GSH)
- Sulfite sensitivity or significant allergy history
- Renal/hepatic impairment — adjust plan per clinician
- Concurrent chemotherapy or investigational therapies — coordinate with oncology before use
- Monitor if prone to hypotension, migraine, or nausea during infusions
Outcomes, Dosing & Side Effects
Reported Outcomes
- Support for oxidative-stress balance and recovery routines
- Adjunct to liver wellness protocols (diet, hydration, exercise)
- Skin tone/brightness programs in some clinics (evidence mixed)
- Best results occur with nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle alignment
Dosing & Administration
- Route: IV infusion or IV push; IM/SC per prescriber
- Rate: Infuse slowly to reduce flushing, chest pressure, or nausea
- Frequency: Series then maintenance per clinic protocol and patient response
- Hydration: Encourage fluids; monitor vitals during infusion
Exact dosing is individualized. Follow your clinic’s protocol and clinician guidance.
Side Effects — Common
- Warmth/flushing, metallic taste
- Nausea, lightheadedness, headache
- Injection/infusion-site irritation
- Transient fatigue post-infusion
Side Effects — Serious/Rare
- Allergic reactions (rash, pruritus, anaphylactoid symptoms)
- Bronchospasm (more likely with inhaled GSH) — stop and evaluate
- Marked hypotension or chest discomfort — stop infusion and assess
Why Choose Glutathione?
Glutathione is a tripeptide (glutamate, cysteine, glycine) central to redox balance and cellular defense. Carefully titrated programs may help clients seeking antioxidant support as part of comprehensive care.
“A few sessions in, I noticed steadier energy and less post-workout soreness. The slower infusion pace made treatments very comfortable.” — Riley M.
Mechanism of Action
- Antioxidant System: Reduced GSH donates electrons to neutralize peroxides via glutathione peroxidase; regenerated by glutathione reductase
- Detox Conjugation: Substrate for glutathione-S-transferases in phase-II metabolism
- Vitamin Cycling: Helps recycle oxidized vitamins C and E
- Administration: IV/IM protocols under clinician supervision; rotate injection sites and monitor vitals
