What is gluthathione?
Glutathione is a tripeptide, meaning it is a small protein-like molecule composed of three specific amino acids:
-
Glutamate (or L-glutamic acid)
-
Cysteine
-
Glycine
Gluthathione is produced in the liver. Gluthathione plays a big role in liver detoxification, immune support and cellular regulation.
What are the benefits of a gluthatione drip for skin health?
A glutathione drip, which delivers the antioxidant directly into the bloodstream intravenously (IV), is believed to offer several potential benefits by bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption.
The potential benefits, largely based on glutathione’s role as a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier in the body, include:
Skin Benefits
-
Skin Brightening and Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Glutathione is thought to inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin (skin pigment). This can lead to a lighter skin tone and a reduction in dark spots, blemishes, and hyperpigmentation.
-
Anti-Aging Effects: As a powerful antioxidant, glutathione helps neutralize free radicals that contribute to oxidative stress, which is a major factor in skin aging. This may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin elasticity and texture.
Health & Wellness Benefits of Gluthathione
-
Powerful Antioxidant Support: Glutathione is often called the “master antioxidant” because it’s naturally found in every cell and helps protect against cellular damage caused by free radicals.
-
Detoxification and Liver Health
-
Immune System Support: helping to fight off illness and manage inflammation.
-
Potential for Chronic Conditions: Some people find glutathione drips to support the management of chronic conditions associated chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, although the scientific evidence for effectiveness in these areas is often limited and requires more research. There is limited research to support this claim.
-
Improved Athletic Performance and Recovery: Athletes use glutathione drips to enhance muscle recovery and performance by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation caused by intense exercise.
How often should I have a gluthatione drip?
For general wellness and beauty benefits we recommend having a gluthathione drip once a week for 3 weeks followed by a maintenence drip once every 2-4 weeks.
For more chronic treatments it is recommended to go one to three times a week for three weeks. The dosing or mg may need to be increased to achieve results. An indepth consultation is important to ensure both results and safety.
