What Is a Glutathione IV?

A physician-selected IV designed to deliver glutathione (an endogenous antioxidant) directly into the bloodstream. It’s used in clinic settings for supportive care—primarily hydration and antioxidant support—after a brief medical check.
Note: Uses for “skin brightening” are not FDA-approved and evidence is mixed. Your doctor will discuss realistic expectations.


Who It May Help (Typical Use Cases)

  • Feeling run-down after travel, workload spikes, or poor sleep
  • Post-illness recovery when hydration/nutrition have been suboptimal
  • Patients seeking adjunctive antioxidant support alongside healthy habits


Who Should Avoid or Discuss First

Please tell the doctor if you:

  • Are pregnant/breastfeeding
  • Have kidney, liver, or heart conditions
  • Have G6PD deficiency or sulfur-drug allergies
  • Take anticoagulants/diuretics or have chronic illnesses requiring specialist care


Possible mild effects: brief chill/flush, metallic taste, vein irritation or small bruise. Seek urgent care for persistent dizziness, chest pain, or breathing difficulty.

What’s In the Drip (Varies by Individual)

  • Balanced fluids + electrolytes for hydration
  • Glutathione (dose per physician)
  • Adjunct vitamins/minerals (case-by-case; only if clinically appropriate)
Exact dose and companions are individualized after exam; not all patients are candidates.

Visit Flow (30–60 Minutes Typical)

  1. Check-in & history → symptoms, meds, allergies, travel details
  2. Medical exam → vitals; focused tests if needed
  3. Plan & consent → candidacy confirmed, IV selected, clear pricing explained
  4. IV session → comfortable setting, monitored
  5. Discharge guidance → after-care in clear English; prescriptions if indicated


After-Care Tips

  • Hydrate with water or oral rehydration fluids
  • Light meals with protein and produce
  • Rest if fatigued; avoid strenuous activity if you feel woozy
  • Follow-up if symptoms persist or worsen


Evidence & Expectations (Important)

  • Glutathione is a natural antioxidant; IV use aims at supportive wellness.
  • Skin-lightening claims remain unproven/variable and are not an approved medical indication.
  • Best outcomes come with sleep, nutrition, stress management, and treating any underlying condition.


Pricing & Packages

Pricing depends on evaluation, dose, and any adjunctive components. You’ll receive a transparent quote before treatment. Package options may be available for eligible patients.

FAQs

Is Glutathione IV a cure for fatigue or pigmentation?
No. It’s supportive care only. For pigmentation, consult dermatology; outcomes vary.

How fast will I feel a difference?
Some feel more hydrated/clear-headed within hours to a day. Responses vary by health status and sleep/nutrition.

How often can I get it?
Frequency is medical-history dependent. Your doctor will recommend a safe interval (e.g., occasional or short-term series).

Can it be combined with vitamin C or other nutrients?
Sometimes, yes—only if clinically appropriate. The physician will tailor or decline combinations for safety.

Any downtime?
Most patients resume normal activity after the visit. Plan a light day if you tend to feel woozy with IVs.

Can I book before/after a long flight?
Yes, many travelers do. The doctor will confirm candidacy and timing.
