Glutathione Infusion: Effects, Benefits and What to Expect
Glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants in the body and is often called the "master antioxidant", because it protects cells from oxidative stress, supports liver function and assists the processes of detoxification. When glutathione levels fall, whether because of stress, fatigue, chronic illness or age, the body finds it harder to neutralise harmful substances. A glutathione infusion delivers this antioxidant directly into the bloodstream, with high bioavailability.
What is glutathione and how does it work?
Glutathione is a molecule made up of three amino acids (glutamine, cysteine and glycine). It takes part in neutralising free radicals, supports the immune system and plays a key role in liver detoxification. Intravenous administration bypasses digestion, so the active substance reaches the cells faster and at the full dose compared with oral supplements.
Who is a glutathione infusion intended for?
A glutathione infusion is most often recommended for people who feel exhausted, who are exposed to increased oxidative stress, or who want additional support for their immune system and skin. Many people also choose it as part of a detoxification programme and general recovery. Whether the therapy is appropriate for you is assessed by a doctor at your consultation.
What does the procedure involve and how long does it take?
The infusion is administered in the comfortable setting of the polyclinic, under the supervision of medical staff. The procedure is painless and usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, after which you can return to your usual activities. The number and frequency of infusions are tailored to the individual, and glutathione can also be combined with other infusions from our range of infusion therapies.
Frequently asked questions
How often is a glutathione infusion given?
The frequency depends on the goal of the therapy and your doctor's assessment. For some people it is given in a series (for example once a week over several weeks) and then as needed for maintenance. The exact protocol and dosage are determined by the doctor after a consultation.
Does a glutathione infusion have side effects?
Glutathione is generally well tolerated. As with any intravenous therapy, mild reactions at the injection site are possible. This is why the infusion is always administered under the supervision of medical staff and your state of health is checked before therapy.
