Intravenous (IV) Therapy

WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?

Glutathione is a tripeptide—a combination of three amino acids called cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. It’s present in most of the cells in our bodies, though it’s most often found concentrated in the liver. Here’s what makes it so great, though. Glutathione contains a sticky sulfur chemical group that collects all the bad molecules floating around in your body and neutralizes them. These are called free radicals, and when they’re eliminated, your immune system gets a massive boost.

5 BENEFITS OF GLUTATHIONE

Glutathione IV infusion therapy comes with a powerful package of benefits for both your skin and body. Once you get it and see how you feel, you’ll understand why it’s called the Master Molecule. These are just some of the benefits.

PREVENTS CHRONIC ILLNESS

Nearly every person with some sort of chronic illness—like Parkinson’s Disease, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, and cancer—has one similar characteristic: They’re low on glutathione. When we’ve introduced too many toxins into our bodies or become overwhelmed with oxidative stress, we get sick. Glutathione uses its antioxidant powers to eliminate those toxins and stress, leading to prevention of chronic illness.

SLOWS THE AGING PROCESS

Glutathione spends a lot of time repairing damaged cells—particularly the ones that spur the aging process. By removing free radicals from our bodies, we’re welcoming in stronger hair and nails, tighter and brighter skin, and higher energy levels. Glutathione also encourages mitochondrial growth, creating younger, more beneficial cells to replace the aging ones.

BOOSTS ATHLETIC ABILITY

If you want to reach your peak ability athletically, glutathione is one of the best supplements for it. Not only does it decrease incidents of muscle damage, it also boosts your strength and endurance; encourages your body to make more muscle than fat; and reduces recovery times.

CONTROLS INFLAMMATION

Free radicals love to congregate in your body, causing inflammation and damage to whatever meeting spot they choose. But when you have enough glutathione in your body, the antioxidant busts up the free radical party—which means you can say goodbye to inflammation because those cell-damaging molecules causing it were just kicked out

DETOXIFIES THE LIVER

Glutathione is most commonly found in our livers, waiting for any toxins to flow through so it can attach to them and help get them out of the body. By default, that means it’s detoxifying the liver, which helps stave off conditions like fatty liver disease.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO GLUTATHIONE?

As with anything you put into your body, you may experience some unwanted side effects. For glutathione, they’re generally not too serious—but they can alter both the way you look and the way you feel.

GLUTATHIONE AND SKIN LIGHTENING

A surprising side effect of glutathione is that it can unexpectedly lighten your skin tone. Once it gets into your body, it deactivates tyrosinase, the enzyme that produces melanin. Depending on your personal preference, that can be a good or bad thing—in a similar way that the effects of a tanning bed can be considered both good and bad. But in any case, it’s only a temporary shift. As soon as the glutathione cycles through your system, the skin lightening effects dissipate.

GLUTATHIONE AND FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS

It’s important to be sure any glutathione drip you’re getting is from a reliable source and being given in the proper manner and dosage. If that doesn’t happen, some people may experience flu-like side effects such as fever, chills, headache, and nausea. Keep in mind, though, that these effects were seen only in a very small sample size—so it’s quite possible you won’t have any adverse effects at all.

BENEFITS OF INTRAVENOUS GLUTATHIONE

For all its benefits, glutathione struggles with one thing: really getting absorbed into our bodies. Oral glutathione supplements are a start, but enzymes in our stomachs immediately begin to dissolve the bonds holding the three amino acids together. And without those bonds, it won’t be absorbed into our systems.

When you take glutathione intravenously through IV infusion therapy, though, it goes right into the bloodstream. That means you don’t have to worry about whether the antioxidant is being absorbed, because you’re doing the hard work for it to begin with.

Magnesium is a powerful electrolyte that has been known to ease anxiety and nervousness, relax your muscles, promote a good night’s rest, support immune function and keep your nerves functioning properly. We add this mineral to our IV drip treatments, but it is also widely used in the form of Epsom salt, interestingly enough. Same mineral, but completely different applications

MAGNESIUM TOUTS A MULTITUDE OF WELLNESS BENEFITS

Our bodies need magnesium in order to stay healthy. It plays a role in regulating nerve and brain functions, blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and according to the National Institutes of Health, many people in the U.S. don’t get the recommended amount of magnesium from their diet alone. Benefits of receiving a magnesium mineral booster may include:

• Relaxing and calming the nerves

• Relaxing your muscles

• Reducing pain and aches

• Regulating energy metabolism

• Maintaining blood sugar levels

• Regulating calcium levels

• Supporting immune function

Vitamin B12 is more important than you may think. The truth is our bodies simply cannot live without it — it’s an essential nutrient that’s responsible for the production of our DNA, formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of our nervous system. It even helps prevent certain types of anemia that make people sluggish and weak.

BENEFITS OF VITAMIN B12

B-12 is a powerhouse of a vitamin, but for those who don’t get enough B12 from their diet or who have digestive disorders such as Crohn’s disease, Vitamin B12 could greatly improve their feelings of tiredness, weakness and sluggish tendencies.

• Essential for the healthy development of nerve cells, blood cells and DNA

• Can give you more energy to do everyday tasks

• Can prevent megaloblastic anemia

• Can improve your mood

• Can increase your metabolism

Jam-packed with five different types of vitamin B — all of which are essential to your overall health and immune system.

WELLNESS BENEFITS OF B-COMPLEX

Each vitamin on its own plays an important role in your overall health and metabolic functions. But when you put them all together, your body can receive all the B vitamins it needs to function properly.

• Vitamin B1: Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is essential for converting the food we eat into energy. This may improve symptoms of fatigue, weakness and nervous system complications.

• Vitamin B2: Also called riboflavin, vitamin B2 is essential for the health of cells in your body. It also helps with energy production.

• Vitamin B3: Like B2, vitamin B3, also called niacin, plays a key role in the energy production process and the maintenance of cells.

• Vitamin B5: B5 or pantothenic acid helps break down fats in the body and turn food into energy.

• Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is essential for the body’s metabolism. It’s needed for over 100 enzyme reactions.

Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant that aids in protecting your overall well-being. Vitamin C helps to strengthen your immune system by fighting against bacteria and viruses, including the common cold.

BENEFITS OF GETTING VITAMIN C

Vitamin C, or ascorbate, is an essential nutrient, especially for those who don’t get enough through their diet or those who are suffering from malnutrition and have a weak immune system. Vitamin C could significantly improve your skin, bones and connective tissue health. Specifically, vitamin C:

• Strengthens the immune system

• Improves the health of your skin

• Helps heal wounds

• Protects cells by fighting free radicals

This trace mineral is vital to our overall health. It’s responsible for the creation of DNA, it plays an essential role in the wound-healing process, and it also fortifies your immune system when your body is invaded by a virus. It may also help with balancing hormone levels in the body.

BENEFITS OF ZINC

Zinc can give a multitude of wellness benefits to your body, including:

• Boosting your immune system

• Supporting normal growth during pregnancy, childhood and adulthood

• Helping heal wounds

• Ensuring proper function of taste and smell

• Boosting testosterone levels in men
