In a nutshell, it is more than a pathway to beautiful skin. Glutathione is commonly known as the mother of all antioxidants for its powerhouse ability to soak up the bacteria and debris that constantly assault our bodies. You might think of it like a sponge, seeking and capturing toxins like free radicals to maintain cellular health.

​

But glutathione often gets used more quickly than the body can produce it, and for this reason, injections are very valuable.

​

Many patients who come to our clinic for glutathione therapy are striving for brighter, younger, healthier-looking skin or for its powerful detoxifying capacity. However, this hard-working nutrient has many more benefits for your health, including reducing cellular damage and scavenging free radicals from the body.

​

Glutathione naturally speeds cell renewal among patients both younger and older. Ideally, cell turnover takes place every 28 days or so, meaning your face gets rejuvenated every month. But this time frame slows to 45 days once a person reaches their 40s and only slows further with age. The result is dull skin that loses its reflective qualities. New cells, on the other hand, provide a canvas smooth enough to reflect light and restore your glow.

​

Glutathione does far more than restore a youthful glow to the skin. We now understand this antioxidant must be continually produced to protect cells from oxidative stress and maintain healthy immune responses. As glutathione levels dip with age, it accelerates cellular aging in a way that leads to metabolic disorders, heart disease, and lost muscle function.

​

Glutathione injections counter such effects and compensate for diminished liver functions. The liver is, after all, the site of natural glutathione production. Regular and sustained treatments can therefore provide such benefits as:

• Stronger immune functions

• More stamina

• Greater physical strength

• Increased sex drive

• Detoxification for overall improved health

 

What is glutathione + do I need it?

​

It is our most important cell antioxidant and liver protector.

​

As part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, it neutralises the hydrogen peroxide free radical. Importantly, it also protects the red blood cells, cell membranes, and blood lipids from oxidation (going rancid).

​

Glutathione is a combination of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is known as the ‘master antioxidant’ – and for good reason! Naturally occurring in the liver, it is the body’s natural ‘detoxifier’ which works to clear toxins from the body. Glutathione is required by almost all body functions and is found in most cells in the body.

​

Glutathione production unfortunately decreases with age. This is one reason why age spots are common as we grow older. This decline in production worsens with a high-stress lifestyle, poor eating habits or poor quality food, excessive toxins like smoking, alcohol or environmental pollutants and poor sleep amongst other reasons.

​

When you don’t have enough in your body, it can suffer from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Many chronic health conditions are associated with low glutathione levels, including autoimmune diseases and heart disease.

​

Glutathione is especially high in the liver. It helps the liver to clear the damaging free radical molecules that are released during the first phase of liver detoxification. It also works in the second phase of liver detoxification, helping to clear drugs and various environmental toxins from the body. It binds to mercury and heavy metals, helping to clear them from the tissues. It is also involved in making active thyroid hormone (along with selenium and copper).

​

It is such an important molecule for the cell that low glutathione is a red flag signal that triggers an inflammatory reaction. This is part of the process for the onset of various health conditions and degenerative diseases. Nutrients involved with glutathione metabolism include vitamin B6 (which is needed to shuttle sulphur groups about), vitamins C, E, B2, and magnesium.

​

HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GLUTATHIONE DEFICIENCY:

​

• Coordination problems
• Mental disorder
• Tremors
• Darker skin/Pigmentation
• Increased aging process
• Nervous system disorder
• Difficulty in balancing
• Currently, believed to be caused by lesions in the brain
• Diabetes mellitus
• Low sperm count
• Cataracts
• Cancer
• HIV infection Smokers (“people who smoke, are chronically exposed to toxins, suffer from conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, AIDS, CA have lower levels of Glutathione. It’s a vicious cycle: health problems deplete the supply of Glutathione & reduced levels of Glutathione increasing risk of health problems.”)

​

BENEFITS:

​

Glutathione has many possible benefits including:

• Improves the appearance of the skin (including dark spots, freckles, uneven skin tone, blemishes, liver spots, and signs of ageing).

• Reverses the dark melanin pigments in the skin, thus reducing hyperpigmentation.

• Improves pigmentation from sun-damaged skin.

• Helps to strengthen and improve immune function.

• Breaks down free radicals which are created during exposure to the hot and cold environmental temperatures, toxicity, and UV light from the sun. Additional sources of free radicals include exhaust fumes and pollutants for those in the City, and recirculated air for those who travel a lot by trains or planes.

• Supports cell regeneration including tissue building, cell growth, and wound healing.

• Aids detoxification of heavy metals.

• Prevents oxidative cell damage.

• It is a very powerful detox agent which can help to reduce cell damage in the liver and help counter the toxic effects of many drugs, malnutrition, and diseases (chronic or acute).

• Whitens the skin​ also known as the wonder drug for reversal of hyperpigmentation

• Dark spot remover

• Prevent / remove pimples and pimple marks

• Anti-aging and anti-wrinkles

• Makes your skin smooth, fresh and radiant

• Enhance healing of wounds

• Nourishes skin

• Reduces oxidative stress

• Improves psoriasis

• Reverses cell damage in people with fatty liver disease

• Increases fat burning instead of storing

• Increase circulation in arteries reducing plaque

• Parkinson’s disease calming

• Fights against arthritis

• Reduces damage in diabetes

• Reduce respiratory problems

​

Helps in preventing cancer especially Liver Cancer

• Protects our body free radicals & reactive oxygen molecules

• Is required in detoxifying nicotine

• Helps our Liver in detoxifying our body

• Plays important role in cancer prevention & treatment

• Increases sperm count for men with low sperm counts

• Low glutathione levels are found in immune compromised individuals,Neuro-degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ALS, Alzheimer, and Parkinson’s disease, arteriosclerosis, male infertility, pregnancy complications, cataracts, damage from many pharmaceutical drugs, cancer and poor survival rate for patients with AIDS

• Appears to protect against the dangers of heart diseases, premature aging and chronic illness

​

Glutathione is purported to reverse the aging process, prevent cancer, and preserve memory. It is also said to protect against a wide range of health problems,1 including:

• Hardened arteries (atherosclerosis)

• Lyme disease

• Alzheimer's disease

• Chronic fatigue syndrome

• Colitis

• High cholesterol

It’s a vicious cycle: health problems deplete the supply of Glutathione & reduced levels of Glutathione increasing risk of health problems.”)

​

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

​

Although many people can and do benefit from this treatment, we won’t carry it out if you have:

​

• Allergy to it (hypersensitivity)

• Anti-psychotic medication – Haloperidol

• Chemotherapeutic drug – Cisplatin

​

RECOMMENDATIONS: 

For even better results best to combine with:

​

• Vitamin C - helps maintain glutathione levels by first attacking free radicals, which spares glutathione so it lasts longer. This nutrient also serves to reprocess glutathione by converting the antioxidant back to its active form after oxidisation.

• Vitamin B - shown to reduce some signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines

• Biotin - One of the most well-known supplements on the market, biotin thickens hair, strengthens nails, and rebuilds tissues. It also assists with cell growth, ensuring each replicate and works properly. But as a water-soluble vitamin, the body does not hold biotin in reserve. This means excess gets flushed away, while deficiencies cannot be replenished internally.  Biotin keeps dry, itchy, and flaking skin at bay by promoting hydration. It also fights more severe conditions like cystic acne. Including this nutrient in our formulation takes skin health one step further, ensuring all the bases are covered to revitalise its appearance from inside out.

​

HOW MANY INJECTIONS ARE NEEDED:

​

The frequency of appointments will depend on the condition you are hoping to address. It’s recommended more sessions to start, such as one or two sessions a week for four weeks, then tapering to one treatment every other week, and finally slowing to monthly maintenance treatments. This will restore the nutrients lacking and sustain levels for optimal health.

​

Internal results are many like memory enhancement, liver protection, immunity improvement, nicotin detoxifying and many others.
