Glutathione: The Essential Antioxidant Supporting Your Health
Glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants in the human body. It is made from three amino acids — glutamine, cysteine, and glycine — and is produced naturally by the body, primarily in the liver. Its role is critical for maintaining cellular health, protecting against oxidative stress, and supporting immune function
One of glutathione’s key functions is neutralizing free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to aging and chronic disease. It also plays a major role in detoxification by binding to toxins, heavy metals, and waste products, helping the body eliminate them through the liver and kidneys. In addition, glutathione supports immune balance and assists in the repair of DNA and other cellular components
Although the body is capable of producing its own glutathione, several factors can reduce its levels. These include aging, stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, alcohol use, smoking, certain medications, and chronic illness. When glutathione levels are low, the body’s ability to detoxify and protect itself is compromised, which can lead to fatigue, inflammation, and increased vulnerability to disease. To restore optimal levels quickly and effectively, glutathione is offered as an IV infusion or IM injection
Glutathione IV therapy involves administering glutathione directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. This allows for 90 % bioavailability and immediate access to cells, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for detoxification, skin brightening, immune support, and general antioxidant protection. Typical IV glutathione doses range from 600 mg to 2500 mg per session, depending on individual goals and health status. Lower doses (600–1200 mg) are often used for general wellness or skin maintenance, while higher doses (1500–2500 mg) may be used for detoxification, chronic inflammation, or advanced antioxidant support. IV sessions are often scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, with frequency tailored to the client’s needs and response
Glutathione IM injections are administered into the muscle, usually the deltoid or gluteal muscle, offering slower absorption but high effectiveness. IM injections are a convenient option for clients who want antioxidant support without the time commitment of IV therapy. Common IM doses range from 200 mg to 400 mg per injection, typically given once or twice weekly. IM glutathione is popular for maintaining skin clarity, supporting recovery, and enhancing immune resilience. Some clients alternate IM injections with IV drips depending on their schedule, goals, and treatment plan.
Clients often report improved energy, clearer skin, enhanced mental clarity, and better immune function after consistent glutathione therapy. Those with high exposure to environmental toxins, chronic fatigue, inflammation, or oxidative stress may especially benefit from a structured glutathione regimen. IV and IM administration ensure faster, more effective results and are ideal for individuals needing therapeutic doses or rapid improvement
