Active Plus Infusion (Glutathione + Vitamin C + Magnesium)

The Active Plus Infusion combines three of the most researched intravenous antioxidant and neuroprotective agents — glutathione, high-dose Vitamin C, and magnesium — in a single IV session at ARCADA Medicentrum. Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and a critical cofactor for liver detoxification, immune regulation, and neuronal protection. At IV concentrations, glutathione crosses the blood-brain barrier and supports neuron health at a level impossible to achieve orally. The combination with Vitamin C extends the antioxidant cascade (vitamin C regenerates oxidised glutathione), while magnesium anchors metabolic and neuromuscular function. Together they form an evidence-informed triad for individuals dealing with hepatic stress, neurological fatigue, or toxic load.

The Active Plus Infusion at ARCADA Medicentrum brings together three IV-delivered compounds whose synergistic effects are greater than the sum of their individual actions: **Glutathione (reduced form, GSH):** Often called the body's master antioxidant, glutathione is synthesised in every cell but depletes rapidly under oxidative stress, aging, illness, or toxin exposure. Oral glutathione has very poor bioavailability (degraded in the gut), making intravenous delivery the only reliable way to elevate systemic glutathione levels meaningfully. IV glutathione supports liver detoxification (Phase II biotransformation), immune cell (T-cell and NK-cell) activity, and neuronal protection. At elevated plasma concentrations, it also helps maintain mitochondrial membrane integrity — critical for energy production in brain and muscle cells. **High-dose Vitamin C (ascorbic acid):** Regenerates oxidised glutathione back to its active form (GSH), extending the antioxidant cycle. Also independently suppresses inflammatory cytokines, supports collagen synthesis, and protects against the oxidative damage that accumulates in ischaemic or inflamed tissue. **Magnesium:** Acts as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions. At the neurological level, magnesium blocks NMDA receptors (preventing excitotoxicity) and regulates calcium influx into neurons — mechanisms relevant to neuroprotection, migraine prevention, and muscle relaxation. Intravenous magnesium produces reliable tissue saturation where oral forms (limited by bowel tolerance) often fall short. At ARCADA, the Active Plus Infusion is a popular choice for patients with neurological fatigue, chronic inflammatory load, hepatic stress (post-medication or post-illness), and those seeking a comprehensive antioxidant reset between rehabilitation blocks. It is also used in the context of post-COVID syndrome, where glutathione depletion has been documented as a contributing factor to persistent neurological symptoms. The session runs 60 minutes in the supervised Medicentrum infusion environment. A course of 3–6 sessions is recommended for meaningful clinical effect on chronic conditions. Pre-session assessment includes a brief consultation and contraindication check. Contact the Medicentrum on +420 604 772 988 to book and confirm current pricing.
