GLUTATHIONE

How it works

Glutathione is an essential building block for many processes in the human body, including maintaining the immune system, tissue building and repair, and making proteins and chemicals needed in the body. It is considered a ‘potent antioxidant’ and helps to eliminate dangerous free radicals. Glutathione binds to toxins in the body through a process referred to as “conjugation” to allow these toxins to be safely expelled. IV glutathione is typically more effective than oral glutathione as stomach acids and enzymes break down the oral glutathione rendering it nearly useless. IV glutathione delivers the nutrient directly to the bloodstream and into the cells where it is needed
