Glutathione Injection

Systemic glutathione replenishment via subcutaneous injection.

Overview

Glutathione is a tripeptide functioning as the body's primary endogenous antioxidant. Levels decline with age, chronic illness, and oxidative stress. Oral glutathione has poor bioavailability due to GI degradation. SubQ injection delivers glutathione systemically. This is a supportive compound, not a treatment for any specific condition.

Mechanism

Glutathione neutralizes reactive oxygen species, supports liver Phase II detoxification, and plays a role in immune regulation. The brain has among the highest tissue concentrations of glutathione.

Clinical Considerations

• Consistent use over weeks to months is required to assess response.
• Skin-clarifying effects have been observationally reported with consistent use — this is a side effect, not a primary clinical indication.
• Not a treatment for liver disease, immune disorders, or skin conditions.
• Individual response varies.

Potential Side Effects

• Injection site discomfort or mild bruising.
• Rare reports of mild skin lightening with consistent high-dose use — a side effect, not an intended indication.
• No serious adverse events prominently reported at standard clinical doses in available literature.
