Vitamin C + Glutathione Combo IV

A combined intravenous infusion delivering both high-dose vitamin C and glutathione in a single session. The two antioxidants work through complementary mechanisms — vitamin C scavenges free radicals in extracellular fluid while glutathione operates primarily inside cells — and vitamin C also helps regenerate oxidised glutathione back to its active reduced form.

The Vitamin C + Glutathione Combo IV at RE:BERRY Clinic pairs two of the most widely studied antioxidants into a single infusion session, leveraging their biochemical synergy. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and glutathione occupy different compartments in antioxidant defence: vitamin C is the dominant water-soluble antioxidant in plasma and extracellular fluid, while glutathione is the primary intracellular antioxidant. By delivering both intravenously, the combo drip addresses oxidative stress on both sides of the cell membrane. The synergy between these two molecules is well characterised in biochemistry. When glutathione neutralises a reactive oxygen species, it becomes oxidised (GSSG). Vitamin C can donate electrons to reduce GSSG back to its active form (GSH), effectively recycling glutathione and extending its functional lifespan. Conversely, glutathione participates in regenerating oxidised vitamin C. This reciprocal relationship means that the two molecules together provide more sustained antioxidant coverage than either one alone. Intravenous vitamin C achieves plasma concentrations roughly 30 to 70 times higher than the maximum achievable through oral supplementation. At oral doses above approximately 200 milligrams, intestinal absorption saturates due to transporter limitations, and excess vitamin C is excreted renally. IV delivery bypasses this bottleneck entirely. The infusion runs approximately 45 minutes, slightly longer than the standalone glutathione drip due to the additional volume. Patients sit in the infusion area and are monitored by clinical staff throughout. The physician assesses medical history and current hydration status before the session to adjust the formulation appropriately. This combination is one of RE:BERRY's most popular offerings among international visitors, particularly those combining wellness treatments with travel. The Myeongdong location's 365-day schedule and evening hours make it feasible to fit a session into a busy itinerary without dedicating a significant portion of the day.
