Glutathione Antioxidant Treatment

An intravenous glutathione infusion designed to support the body's antioxidant defences. Glutathione is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant and plays a central role in detoxification, immune function, and cellular protection against oxidative stress. The IV route bypasses digestive absorption, which is typically poor for oral glutathione supplements.

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine that is present in virtually every cell in the body. It serves as the primary intracellular antioxidant, neutralising reactive oxygen species and supporting the recycling of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. Beyond its antioxidant role, glutathione is essential for phase II liver detoxification, helping to conjugate and eliminate environmental toxins, heavy metals, and metabolic waste products. Oral glutathione supplementation has historically been limited by poor bioavailability — the molecule tends to be broken down in the gastrointestinal tract before reaching the bloodstream in meaningful quantities. Intravenous administration delivers glutathione directly into the circulation, bypassing this absorption barrier. Research into IV glutathione has explored its potential effects on oxidative stress markers, skin health, liver function support, and recovery from environmental or lifestyle-related toxic burden. At Image Regenerative Clinic, the glutathione antioxidant treatment is administered as a single IV session. The clinic's regenerative medicine orientation means this therapy sits within a broader framework of cellular health and recovery services. It may be of particular interest to individuals experiencing high oxidative stress from environmental exposure, intense training, or chronic fatigue, as well as those seeking adjunctive support for detoxification protocols. As with all IV therapies, individual responses vary and the treatment should be considered as part of a broader health strategy rather than a standalone intervention.
