Glutathione: A Key Antioxidant
What Is Glutathione?
This page is for adults who want to know how glutathione works.
We offer glutathione therapy by telehealth across Washington and Idaho. Our clinic is in Spokane.
Glutathione is a strong antioxidant. An antioxidant protects your cells from damage. Your body makes glutathione on its own, mostly in the liver. It guards your cells from a type of wear called oxidative stress.
Benefits of Taking Glutathione
- Cell protection. It clears free radicals. These are unstable particles that harm cells. This may prevent cell damage.
- Detox. It helps clear harmful substances. These include toxins from the environment and drugs.
- Immune support. It boosts the immune system to help fight infection and disease.
- Liver health. It supports the liver's detox work and protects liver cells.
- Less swelling. It can lower inflammation. This may help arthritis and autoimmune diseases.
- Skin health. It may improve skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging. It does this by protecting skin cells.
- Brain support. Some studies suggest it may help manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
The Best Way to Take Glutathione
Many glutathione pills are sold. But they are not absorbed well when swallowed. That leaves two main options. One is to take building blocks your body turns into glutathione. The other is to use a form that skips the gut. These forms include:
- IV drip. This method is very expensive.
- Small shots under the skin. These go into the fat of the thigh or stomach.
- Lozenges under the tongue. These dissolve in the mouth. Glutathione goes straight into the blood and skips the stomach.
We recommend the shots and the lozenges. They are reliable, easy, and affordable.
