Vitamin C + Glutathione Combo Infusion

IVC Olomouc offers a combined vitamin C and glutathione infusion for 1 000 Kč — two complementary antioxidants delivered through a single IV line in one session. The clinic uses the phrase "2× jedním vpichem" (two treatments via one insertion) to emphasise the efficiency of this approach. Vitamin C and glutathione reinforce each other biochemically: vitamin C in plasma continuously regenerates oxidised glutathione back to its active form, while glutathione performs the same service for oxidised vitamin C, creating a self-sustaining antioxidant cycle within the session.

The combination of intravenous vitamin C and glutathione exploits a well-characterised biochemical relationship: ascorbate (vitamin C) reduces glutathione disulphide (GSSG) back to active glutathione (GSH) via the glutathione reductase cycle, and glutathione in turn helps regenerate ascorbate from its oxidised form (dehydroascorbic acid). When both molecules are present simultaneously at elevated plasma concentrations — achievable only via IV — this mutual regeneration cycle is amplified, effectively multiplying the antioxidant capacity of each compound beyond what either can achieve alone. At IVC Olomouc, the combo infusion delivers both preparations sequentially through a single peripheral IV insertion, minimising patient discomfort and saving the practitioner time. The session typically runs 60–75 minutes — longer than either treatment alone, but with only one insertion event. This is IVC Olomouc's most comprehensive antioxidant offering, priced at 1 000 Kč, which compares favourably to booking the two infusions separately. Ideal candidates include patients undergoing significant physical or oxidative stress (competitive athletes, those doing heavy physical work), individuals with liver-related detox demands, patients managing chronic inflammatory conditions, and those who have used either vitamin C or glutathione individually and want to experience the synergistic protocol. As with all infusions at the clinic, a brief health history review is conducted before treatment, particularly to screen for G6PD deficiency (contraindicated for high-dose vitamin C). No special dietary preparation is required; eating a light meal beforehand and maintaining good hydration are the primary recommendations.
