Glutathione is called the "master antioxidant" for good reason. It's the most abundant antioxidant in your body, found in every cell. Made of three amino acids (cysteine, glutamine, glycine), glutathione:

• Neutralizes free radicals before they damage cells

• Recycles other antioxidants (vitamins C and E)

• Powers your liver's detoxification pathways

• Protects DNA from damage

• Supports immune cell function

​

Your body produces glutathione, but production declines with age. Stress, poor diet, toxins, alcohol, and illness deplete it further. When glutathione is low, you're vulnerable to oxidative stress, toxin accumulation, and premature aging.

​

Oral glutathione supplements are poorly absorbed—digestion breaks them down. IV delivery bypasses the gut, delivering glutathione directly to your bloodstream and cells.

​

Benefits of Glutathione

Powerful Detoxification

Glutathione is essential for Phase II liver detoxification. It binds to toxins and heavy metals, preparing them for elimination. For those focused on detoxification, glutathione is foundational—your liver can't detox properly without it.

​

Immune System Support

Glutathione enhances immune cell function and protects immune cells from oxidative damage. For immune support, maintaining glutathione levels is crucial—weakened glutathione means weakened immunity.

​

Skin Brightening

Glutathione inhibits melanin production, evening skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. Many clients use glutathione specifically for complexion enhancement—it's popular for achieving brighter, more even skin.

​

Anti-Aging Effects

As the master antioxidant, glutathione neutralizes free radicals before they damage cells and DNA. This protection slows cellular aging. Maintaining high glutathione levels is associated with longevity and healthy aging.

​

Liver Support

Your liver depends on glutathione for detoxification. Alcohol, medications, and environmental toxins deplete liver glutathione. IV glutathione replenishes supplies, supporting liver function and recovery.

​

Athletic Recovery

Exercise generates oxidative stress. Glutathione helps neutralize this stress, supporting faster recovery and reducing muscle damage. Athletes often use glutathione as part of their recovery protocol.

​

Who Should Try Glutathione?

Glutathione therapy benefits:

• Those seeking detoxification (view our detox program)

• People wanting skin brightening and more even complexion

• Anyone needing immune support (view immunity services)

• Liver support seekers (post-alcohol, medication support)

• Athletes wanting recovery and performance support

• Those with high toxin exposure (urban living, travel, work environment)

• Anyone interested in anti-aging at the cellular level

​

Considerations: Glutathione IV is generally very safe. Some people notice a sulfur smell during or after infusion—this is normal. Those with sulfur allergies should consult their physician.

​

What to Expect During Your Session

Glutathione is typically administered via IV push (quick injection into IV line) or short infusion. Sessions take 15-30 minutes—much faster than NAD+ infusions. You may notice a slight sulfur smell during treatment—this is the glutathione and is completely normal. There's no discomfort and no recovery time.

Frequency: For intensive detox or skin brightening, weekly sessions for 4-8 weeks. For maintenance, monthly sessions sustain benefits. We'll recommend a protocol based on your goals.

​

Services That Pair With Glutathione

NAD+ Therapy: NAD+ supports cellular energy while glutathione provides antioxidant protection and detox. Together, they offer comprehensive cellular support.

​

B12 Shots: Energy plus detoxification. Quick, complementary treatments that work well together.

​

Infrared Sauna: Sweat out toxins while glutathione supports liver processing. The ultimate detox combination.

Glutathione FAQ

How does glutathione therapy work?

IV delivery puts glutathione directly into your bloodstream, bypassing digestion. From there, it enters cells throughout your body—supporting detoxification, neutralizing free radicals, and enhancing immune function.

​

Why IV instead of oral glutathione?

Oral glutathione is largely destroyed in digestion. Studies show minimal absorption. IV delivery provides 100% bioavailability—what you infuse, your body uses.

​

How quickly will I see skin brightening results?

Skin brightening is gradual. Most people notice improvement after 4-6 weekly sessions. The effect builds with consistent treatment and maintains with monthly sessions.

​

Is the sulfur smell normal?

Yes. Glutathione contains sulfur (from cysteine). Some people notice a sulfur smell during or after treatment. It's harmless and fades quickly.

​

How often should I do glutathione?

For intensive treatment (detox, skin brightening), weekly for 4-8 weeks. For maintenance, monthly sustains benefits. Those with ongoing toxin exposure may benefit from more frequent sessions.
