Glutathione IV Treatment – Master Antioxidant Support & Detoxification

What Is Glutathione?

Your body’s top antioxidant—glutathione—is essential for neutralizing free radicals, supporting detoxification, and preserving cellular health. Delivered via IV, it bypasses digestion for immediate, potent systemic effect. At Patients Medical, we pair this treatment with functional testing, nutrient support, and tailored protocols to optimize immune resilience, detox pathways, skin clarity, energy, and healthy aging—supported by clinical best practice.

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of cysteine, glycine, and glutamate. It’s considered the “master antioxidant” because it regenerates other antioxidants, supports detoxification, enhances immune function, and protects cellular integrity. It also plays roles in neurotransmitter regulation, skin tone, and mitochondrial health.

Conditions We Support with Glutathione IV

  • Detoxification after toxin or heavy metal exposure
  • Chronic fatigue and oxidative stress
  • Immune support during illness or recovery
  • Skin rejuvenation and barrier repair
  • Neuroprotection and cognitive clarity
  • Chronic pain, inflammation, and migraine relief

Signs You Might Benefit

  • Persistent oxidative stress, low energy, or detox burden
  • Acne, hyperpigmentation, or dull skin
  • Chronic infection, inflammation, or immune compromise
  • Neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s (adjunct therapy)
Signs-You-Might-Benefit

Functional Testing We Use

Comprehensive glutathione and oxidative stress markers

Heavy metal and toxin panels

Antioxidant nutrient levels (vitamins C, E, selenium)

Liver function and detox enzyme activity

Inflammation markers (CRP, IL‑6)

Integrative Glutathione Treatment Protocols

IV Glutathione Infusion

 We administer pharmaceutical-grade glutathione (1.5–3 g) via slow IV infusion for peak bioavailability. This replenishes antioxidant stores, neutralizes free radicals, and promotes toxin clearance. Tailored sessions aim to restore intracellular health, reduce oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids, and support foundational detox systems.

Co‑Therapies & Antioxidant Boosts

Glutathione works best in synergy. We pair it with IV vitamin C, B-complex, magnesium, and trace minerals to amplify immune support, skin glow, and detox pathways—plus nutrient IVs for energy, mitochondrial function, and recovery. Each cocktail is customized to your lab results and biomarkers.

Skin Health & Anti-Aging Support

Glutathione helps brighten skin, improve tone, and reduce inflammation. Delivered alongside hyaluronic acid boosters and skin-nourishing antioxidants, our IV protocol supports barrier repair and youthful collagen. It’s an evidence-based complement to microneedling, phototherapy, or topical skin care regimens.

Neuro-Cognitive Restoration

Antioxidant therapy with glutathione supports mitochondrial and neural resilience. We use it alongside cognitive co-factors like acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid—targeting brain fog, mitochondrial decline, or degenerative conditions (Parkinson’s, MS, ALS)

Immune & Inflammatory Reset

Glutathione helps modulate chronic inflammation and supports immune function. Combined with adaptogens, probiotics, and immune-balancing nutrients, it supports recovery post-viral illness and improves symptoms in fatigue or chronic inflammatory conditions.

Energy & Athletic Support

Athletes benefit from glutathione’s role in reducing oxidative damage, improving muscle recovery, and sustaining energy production. Coupled with mitochondrial enhancers (coQ10, B-vitamins), this infusion supports stamina, performance, and faster recovery cycles.

Specialized Programs

Fertility & Preconception Support

Oxidative stress impacts egg quality, sperm health, and early implantation. Glutathione IV supports reproductive wellness by enhancing detox pathways and cellular protection.

What Are Menopausal Problems?

Hormonal Health & BHRT

Oxidative stress exacerbates hormonal imbalance. Our program integrates glutathione therapy with hormone testing and optimization.

Gut & Digestive Health

The gut plays a central role in detoxification and inflammation. Supporting gut health enhances glutathione recycling and overall detox pathways.

Customized Plans
Nutritional-Support

Detoxification & Environmental Medicine

We combine IV glutathione with targeted detox protocols, nutritional support, liver-protective therapies, and environmental toxin assessment.

Mental Health & Integrative Psychiatry

Oxidative stress can affect mood, cognition, and emotional resilience. Our programs integrate glutathione with psychiatric support when needed.
