Glutathione Injections

What Is Glutathione & What Does It Do?

L-Glutathione, or simply glutathione, is a powerful antioxidant comprised of amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. Glutathione has many functions. It is vital to mitochondrial function and necessary to produce DNA. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier means it plays an important role in removing toxins, such as mercury, from the brain and other cells.

It is key in supporting immune function, metabolism, forming sperm cells, tissue building and repair, and helping with certain enzyme functions. As a powerful antioxidant, it may help fight the effects of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, damage healthy cells, and contribute to aging and certain degenerative illnesses. Unlike most antioxidants, glutathione can be made in the human liver. Glutathione can be found in every cell of the human body. It is also found in many foods, including spinach and avocados, but is poorly absorbed by the body when consumed orally.

Supplements that can support glutathione production include curcumin, N-acetylcysteine, selenium, silymarin, vitamin C, and Vitamin E. Glutathione levels in the
body naturally decline as we age, but can also be reduced by factors like stress, malnutrition, and environmental toxins.

Glutathione is a key antioxidant that plays a role in detoxification and immune system. It is comprised of three amino acids found in every cell function.  Glutathione injections help support immune system function, improve sleep & Burn Fat!

But exactly what does that mean and how can increasing glutathione levels benefit our health?

Glutathione is critical in protecting our immune system. It is produced in every cell and starts to decline with age along with the stress, poor diet, alcohol, lack of exercise, weaker immune system, chronic disease infections and exposure to toxins and taking certain medications.

  The role of glutathione is to control and eliminate oxidative stress which causes inflammation.

Often referred to by some as the “mother” of all antioxidants. Glutathione is destroyed faster than it can produce when we are exposed to toxic substances. Antioxidants prevent and repair the damage and inflammation caused by toxic substances. Glutathione is made up of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine and glucine.

Glutathione, a natural compound, is found in the liver, as well as many fruits and veggies, such as garlic, onions and avocados, parsley and squash. It is a powerful antioxidant found in the liver that your body uses to remove free radicals from your body. The injection method is recommended because glutathione can’t be taken orally. Instead, it gets absorbed into your digestive system. Practitioners contend that this doesn’t provide the same detoxifying effects as the oral form.

Benefits of Glutathione Injections

Glutathione injections are used by doctors to detoxify the body from poisonous side effects such as chemotherapy. Glutathione is an excellent detox because of the free radical defense mechanism it gives cells. Glutathione injections have fertility benefits for men. This is often what is intramuscularly injected to boost sperm power.

A glutathione shot can also provide other benefits, such as fat-burning and disease fighting. You may have heard of the “glutathione glow,” which is one of the many benefits that glutathione has to offer. If you’ve been searching for a solution to your skin problems or are struggling with a condition that depletes your body’s glutathione levels, then glutathione supplementation may be exactly what you need.

The Detox – The mother of all antioxidants is going to purify you from the inside. You may have noticed that people who consume unhealthy substances can see a change in their skin. Smokers have more wrinkles than non-smokers and you can see the toxins in their skin as bumps. Glutathione will remove toxins from your body, resulting in skin that is healthier and more youthful-looking.  So, yes, Glutathione Injections can really help you look younger.  The defense mechanisms that glutathione provides you with will allow you to combat diseases and illnesses that could be transmitted from person to person.

These results are very intriguing: greater energy, stamina and body detoxification. As well as clearer, healthier skin.

As with any healthy lifestyle, you’ll only see the benefits if your injections are consistent. The benefits of the treatment will gradually fade if you stop taking them. You’ll soon return to your normal state. Glutathione’s benefits are often visible after three weeks of treatment. The speed at which you notice improvement in your skin depends on how consistent you are with your treatments, your general health, your metabolism, and how fast you take your medications. Slower metabolisms will result in slower results.

It is administered as a muscle injection or an  IV. This allows you to complete your appointment in a matter of minutes. Both the injection and IV administration work equally well. For the best absorption we inject glutathione directly into the muscle, either in the upper arm (deltoid), or the buttocks(gluteal).  Brandon Medical Center offers other forms of Vitamin Injections as well.
