What is it?

Glutathione is a small peptide composed of three amino acids (cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine) that is produced in greater amounts in the human liver and plays a key role in protecting cells against oxidative stress (internal and external), liver detoxification and maintenance of the immune system.

The absorption of glutathione orally is greatly reduced, so to obtain the best results, its administration should occur by blood.

The infusion we use contains Glutathione in its reduced form (GSH) and in the form of S-acetyl-glutathione (SAG – GSH precursor molecule). The unique combination of these two forms of Glutathione in the same infusion allows for a longer lasting and deeper effect.
