Detox Infusion

A 45-minute detoxification IV infusion featuring glutathione, alpha-lipoic acid, and liver-support nutrients to enhance the body's natural detoxification pathways.

The Detox Infusion at heal. centres on glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid — two of the body's most important endogenous antioxidants and detoxification agents. Glutathione (GSH) is the master antioxidant: a tripeptide present in every cell, it directly neutralises reactive oxygen species, regenerates vitamins C and E, and is the primary conjugation molecule in Phase II liver detoxification (binding to toxins, heavy metals, and drug metabolites to make them water-soluble for excretion). Oral glutathione is notoriously poorly absorbed — the tripeptide is largely broken down in the gut before reaching the bloodstream. IV glutathione bypasses this limitation entirely, delivering the intact molecule directly to the liver and systemic circulation where it can immediately participate in detoxification reactions. Patients with high toxic burden (urban pollution exposure, alcohol consumption, medication use, or occupational chemical exposure) typically have depleted glutathione reserves. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) complements glutathione as a versatile antioxidant that is both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to protect cellular membranes and cytoplasm simultaneously. ALA also directly recycles glutathione, effectively amplifying the detoxification capacity delivered by the infusion. Additional liver-support nutrients round out the formula to ensure the hepatic detoxification pathways have all required cofactors. At €179, the Detox Infusion is recommended for patients dealing with environmental toxin exposure, post-alcohol recovery, medication-induced liver burden, or as a periodic detoxification protocol within a broader functional medicine programme. The 45-minute session is often combined with dietary and lifestyle recommendations for sustained detoxification support.
