What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a compound which is made up of 3 amino acids called cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. It is present in nearly all the cells of the body but it is most concentrated in the liver.
Glutathione is important because it neutralizes the free radicals in the body that cause chronic diseases. Diseases associated with glutathione depletion include neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Friedreich’s ataxia), pulmonary disease (COPD, asthma, and acute respiratory distress syndrome), immune diseases (HIV, autoimmune disease), cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, myocardial infarction, cholesterol oxidation), chronic age-related diseases (cataracts, macular degeneration, hearing impairment, and glaucoma), liver disease, cystic fibrosis and the aging process itself.
What is IV Glutathione?
IV glutathione is glutathione that is given in the vein to maximize its absorption and utilization by the body. Nutrients like glutathione which are given in the veins have 100% absorption by the body. This is compared to those that are taken by mouth because they have around 50% absorption by the body.
Giving glutathione in the vein therefore ensures that 100% of it is absorbed and utilized by the body.

IV Glutathione Drip Benefits
The benefits of IV glutathione include the following:
Glutathione prevents chronic diseases
Studies show that low glutathione levels are associated with chronic conditions like metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis), renal (kidney) disease, hepatic (liver) disease, neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease) and autoimmune diseases.
Increasing glutathione levels is therefore potentially beneficial for preventing these diseases and maintaining a healthy body. And, IV glutathione is the best way to increase its levels in the body.
A study even found that maintaining glutathione levels can improve motor function in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Another study suggested that glutathione could be beneficial for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease because of its antioxidant and detoxification properties.
Another study also suggested that glutathione plays an important role in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.
Therefore getting IV glutathione injections in the vein to maintain normal levels can possibly help a person maintain their health.
Glutathione slows the aging process
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that fights the free radicals that contribute to premature aging (wrinkles). Glutathione can therefore help prevent premature aging.
Glutathione detoxifies the body
Studies show that glutathione plays an important role in the detoxification of toxins, xenobiotics, and drugs. Glutathione does this by detoxifying the liver and kidneys and helping the body release toxins.
Glutathione boosts immunity
Studies show that glutathione is important for the regulation of the immune system and the production of important immune compounds known as leukotrienes and prostaglandins.
Glutathione enhances athletic performance
Glutathione boosts strength, enhances endurance, reduces muscle damage and decreases recovery time after workouts.
Glutathione lightens the skin
Glutathione causes skin lightening because it inhibits tyrosinase which is the enzyme that makes melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color. Studies also show that glutathione improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles. Glutathione therefore lightens the skin tone and gives it a youthful appearance with less wrinkles.

FAQ
What are the benefits of combining IV glutathione with IV vitamin C?
Combining IV glutathione with IV vitamin C amplifies the benefits of the glutathione and those of vitamin C to provide more benefits to the body. There is enhanced skin brightening as they both inhibit the enzyme that makes melanin. There is also an increased anti aging effect since the vitamin C is used by the body to make collagen while glutathione neutralizes the free radicals that breakdown collagen. Vitamin C also restores glutathione to its active form preventing depletion.
What are the IV glutathione contraindications?
Contraindications for IV glutathione include pregnancy, breastfeeding, asthma, severe liver disease, severe kidney disease.
