Glutathione IV Therapy

Glutathione is the antioxidant that is prevalent in every cell in the human body and it is primarily synthesized in the liver where it is abundantly present.

80-90% of the blood that leaves the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The blood carries important nutrients to the liver where they are metabolized into substances vital to life. In the same way, exogenous toxic substances reach the liver where they are either activated or transformed into less toxic derivatives.  Glutathione plays a crucial role in the liver’s biotransformation system.

Free radicals and oxyradicals play an important role in the development and progression of many brain disorders such as brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, schizophrenia and Down syndrome.  Glutathione is the brain's master antioxidant and plays an important protective role in the brain.  Free radicals and oxidative damage in neurons is known to be a primary cause of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease.

Amyloid plaques encroaching on the brain increase the production of free radicals, or oxidativestress.  Antioxidants, such as vitamin C and E remove the damaging free radicals.  Glutathione can prevent the death of brain cells induced by amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease.

Taking glutathione itself as a supplement does not boost cellular glutathione levels, since it breaks down in the digestive tract before it reaches the cells.  However, intravenous glutathione therapy along with dietary supplements is effective in boosting intracellular levels of glutathione.
