Glutathione Push IV

A concentrated intravenous glutathione push delivered over approximately 15 minutes. Glutathione is the body's primary intracellular antioxidant, and the IV push format bypasses digestive breakdown to deliver the tripeptide directly into the bloodstream at concentrations that oral supplementation cannot achieve.

Wellth's Glutathione Push is the shortest and most targeted IV offering on the clinic's menu, designed for patients who want a focused antioxidant intervention without committing to a full drip session. The push format uses a syringe driver to deliver a concentrated bolus of reduced L-glutathione directly into a peripheral vein over ten to fifteen minutes, compared to the 30- to 60-minute gravity drips used for higher-volume formulations. Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, synthesised in virtually every cell and concentrated most heavily in the liver, where it plays a central role in phase II detoxification. It functions as the cell's primary reducing agent, neutralising reactive oxygen species, regenerating other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and conjugating xenobiotics and drug metabolites for biliary and renal excretion. Intracellular glutathione levels decline with age, chronic illness, environmental toxin exposure, and sustained physical or psychological stress. Oral glutathione supplements face significant bioavailability challenges because the molecule is broken down by peptidases in the gastrointestinal tract before it reaches systemic circulation. While liposomal formulations and precursor supplements like N-acetylcysteine can support endogenous glutathione production, intravenous delivery remains the most direct route to transiently elevating plasma and tissue concentrations. At Wellth, the push is administered by a licensed nurse in the clinic's infusion area, with baseline vital signs recorded before the injection and a brief observation period afterward. The procedure requires no fasting and no specific preparation. Many patients pair the glutathione push with a longer IV drip or a biohacking session on the same visit, using it as a quick add-on rather than a standalone appointment.
