Your Guide to Glutathione Injections for Tissue Repair and Boosted Immune Functions

Have you heard of glutathione injections? If not, you’re not alone. This powerful antioxidant is often hailed as a “miracle nutrient” for its wide-ranging health benefits.

Glutathione is a small molecule that is produced naturally in the liver. It is made up of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, which play an essential role in many biochemical reactions within the body, including DNA repair, protein synthesis, and detoxification.

It is common to be prescribed glutathione to assist in overall wellbeing for a range of disorders and diseases. That said, you don’t need to be sick to use Glutathione. This molecule can help combat the natural signs of ageing and may promote tissue repair and immune function.

In this blog post, we’ll take a deep dive into Glutathione and why it can be used regularly for optimal results.

Why do you need extra glutathione?

The body naturally produces glutathione, however, this production can significantly decrease as a result of poor nutrition, stress, environmental toxins, and age. As such, using supplemental glutathione may offer many potential health benefits, thanks to its powerful components.

Glutathione can assist in reducing oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species –  also known as free radicals –  and the body’s ability to reduce them. This chemical imbalance can lead to chronic diseases. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that may help reduce this imbalance. Studies highlighted that a lack of Glutathione contributes to the progression of diseases while supplementing the antioxidant may prevent cell degradation linked to oxidative stress.

Glutathione may prevent cellular degradation

Our cells naturally degrade with age and don’t repair as quickly as they used to. Their structure changes and sometimes even their function, which means the way cells produce, absorb, or process anything significantly changes with age. Supplementing with Glutathione can be really helpful to reverse this process. Studies have found that not only can this antioxidant reduce cellular degradation – especially linked to diseases – but it can also boost healthy cell regeneration, which is essential to slow your skin down from ageing.

Glutathione can assist in boosting the immune system

Perhaps the most beneficial trait of Glutathione is its ability to support your immune system, which is essential for healthy-looking skin. Healthline reported that Glutathione can assist with autoimmune diseases and skin conditions like psoriasis. It can also be beneficial in alleviating joint pain and symptoms linked to chronic diseases, as well as day-to-day symptoms of low energy, fatigue, migraines, anxiety, and more. This is because antioxidants in general play an essential role in healthy cell turnover and organ function.

It’s common to hear that your skin health is a direct reflection of your inner health, and ensuring your levels of glutathione are met regularly can help ensure you look and feel your absolute best.

How do Glutathione Injections work?

While glutathione is available in supplement form, it is also possible to get it through IV therapy. IV drips work via bypassing the digestive system, enabling the nutrients to be directly absorbed into the bloodstream, and therefore may result in better absorption of glutathione.

We recently took a deep dive into the difference between oral supplements and IV drips but essentially, oral supplements have to go through several digestive stages before accessing our bloodstream. This means that your body may not absorb the intended dose of Glutathione. IV drips, on the other hand, skip these steps and don’t force your digestive system to work overtime by going directly into your bloodstream. In doing so, your body gets to absorb a beneficial amount of Glutathione and experience changes.

IV drips of Glutathione are a painless, rapid, and minimally-invasive treatment. Just like a doctor/hospital drip, you will experience nothing more than a split-second needle prick while being comfortably seated for the remainder of your injection.

Glutathione can assist if you are struggling with low energy, chronic fatigue, flu symptoms, dehydration, depression, asthma, headaches, and more. At My Botique, we recommend regular treatment to ensure you alleviate your symptoms long-term and feel like your best self.
