Glutathione Q&A

What is glutathione?

Glutathione is a molecule that plays a crucial role in the body's defense system. It includes three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. This substance works by neutralizing free radicals that can cause oxidative damage to cells and tissues.

 

Many factors can affect your glutathione levels, such as aging, poor diet, stress, and exposure to toxins. Low levels of glutathione have been linked to many health problems, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. G Family Medical and Wellness Center offers glutathione intravenous (IV) therapy to restore your levels.

Where does glutathione come from?

 

Produced by the liver, glutathione is present in every cell in your body. It plays a role in several important processes, including DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and cellular detoxification, and it helps to regulate immune cell activity.

 

Aside from the liver, many foods also contain glutathione, including:

 

  • Mushrooms
  • Eggs
  • Grains (rice, pasta, and bread)
  • Broccoli and kale
  • Garlic and onions

 

Consuming more dairy and whey protein, as well as exercising regularly, may help increase your glutathione levels naturally.

How can glutathione support immune function?

 

Glutathione’s anti-inflammatory properties as a master antioxidant can help protect your cells and strengthen immunity. When metabolic activity drives the production of free radicals, glutathione manages these increasing levels to prevent cell death.

What are the benefits of taking glutathione?

 

Glutathione acts as one of the bodily tissues’ most powerful antioxidants. Along with detoxification, it plays a pivotal role in many cellular functions to strengthen your overall health and well-being. Some of the most important benefits of glutathione include:

 

  • Reduces inflammation
  • Enhances skin health
  • Boosts immunity
  • Supports liver function
  • Increases energy levels

 

This essential antioxidant may also help improve cognitive function and mental clarity.

How does glutathione IV therapy work?

 

Delivering glutathione intravenously ensures that your body absorbs and distributes the antioxidant through your body quickly for fast results without downtime. IV therapy allows glutathione to bypass your digestive tract, allowing for 90-100% absorption. This method also eliminates unwanted digestive side effects, such as nausea and diarrhea.

 

Don’t let low glutathione levels affect your health and wellness. Call Dr. G Family Medical and Wellness Center or schedule an appointment online today to learn more about how glutathione IV therapy can benefit you.
