Glutathione Injections
What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a peptide found in plants and animals. It contains three amino acids, glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps your liver remove waste or toxins, eliminating poisons such as drugs and pollutants from our bodies. It is also vital in protecting your body by building and repairing damaged cells and tissue, which can lead to illness.
Glutathione is essential for the immune system’s proper functioning, allowing you to combat diseases and illnesses that could be transmitted from person to person. It also assists your digestive system and helps improve your metabolism, supporting you with weight loss.
The glutathione that is produced in our cells starts to decline with age and is also affected by stress, poor diet, alcohol, lack of exercise, weakened immune system, chronic disease infections, exposure to toxins, and certain medications or medical conditions. Low glutathione levels have been linked with higher risks of cancer, Type 2 diabetes, hepatitis, and Parkinson’s disease.
Other health benefits of Glutathione are related to improving sleep, greater levels of energy and stamina, memory, muscle recovery, and fighting inflammatory conditions such as acne, eczema and rosacea, resulting in clearer, healthier skin. Taking curcumin, selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E can also help the liver create glutathione.
Uses of Glutathione
-
Glutathione, a natural compound found in the liver, is often referred to by some as the “mother” of all antioxidants that your body uses to remove free radicals. Free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing illness and ageing - enabling conditions such as hyperpigmentation, age spots, sun spots, wrinkles and acne scarring.
In addition, glutathione also plays a major role in the health and appearance of your skin by increasing collagen production. You may have heard of the “glutathione glow” which is one of the many benefits that glutathione has to offer from noticeable improvements in skin health.

Glutathione is not a magic wand that makes you lose weight, but should be considered as a powerful tool that helps your body burn fat cells, and your liver remove toxins, both of which lead to weight loss. If you have too many free radicals (causing damaged cells) in your system, and not enough glutathione to neutralise them, you will most likely experience frequent inflammation and slowed metabolism that makes it challenging to lose any weight.
Glutathione controls the oxidation of fatty-acids (‘fat’) by mitochondria, the "battery" of the cell where energy is generated. When the body is deficient in glutathione, less fat is burned and more fat may be stored. Glutathione helps with weight loss by improving metabolic health and supporting your body to shift from fat production and storage to muscle development.

An example of toxins in the body can be seen in people who consume unhealthy substances and notice changes in their skin, such as smokers having more wrinkles than non-smokers, and bumps in their skin caused by toxins. Essentially, glutathione helps to detoxify and eliminate poisons and toxins in the liver, lungs, intestines, and kidneys, while also helping to detoxify and eliminate fat-soluble toxins and heavy metals.
Glutathione works by making toxins water soluble so you can get them out of your system - transforming toxins into mercapturic acid, which can be flushed from the body as urine.
