Glutathione
Rx Summary:
Glutathione Injection
(200mg/mL)
Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in cells. It’s comprised mostly of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione injections work by clearing the body of toxins and free radicals. When we are exposed to toxins, glutathione is used up faster than it can be produced. Glutathione levels in the body can be reduced by many factors, including poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress. Its levels also decline with age.
Clinical roles of glutathione:
Detoxification: Glutathione is vital for neutralizing and eliminating toxins from the body, supporting liver function, and promoting overall detoxification.
Antioxidant support: As a powerful antioxidant, glutathione helps protect cells from oxidative stress and damage, maintaining overall cellular health.
Skin brightening: Glutathione injections may help lighten and brighten the skin, reducing hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone.
Improved energy levels: Glutathione supports cellular energy production, and injections may help boost energy levels and reduce fatigue.
Strengthening the immune system: Glutathione plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy immune system by supporting immune cell function and combating oxidative stress.
The injection can be given Sub-Q or IM (we order as subcutaneous by default)
