What is Glutathione

Glutathione is a tripeptide that is manufactured in our body from three amino acids – cysteine,glutamine and glycine. It is the master anti-oxidant and master detoxifier in the body. It's the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent disease. In addition to providing unparalleled beauty benefits it is the secret to preventing aging, cancer, heart disease, dementia and more, and necessary to treat everything from autism to ‘Alzheimers disease’.

Glutathione is a critical molecule if we want to stay young, healthy and beautiful – The secret of its power is the sulfur (SH) chemical groups it contains. Sulfur is a sticky, smelly molecule. It acts like fly paper and all the bad things in the body stick onto it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals.

Even though Glutathione is manufactured in our bodies, it is depleted by a poor diet, pollution,

toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and radiation. In addition, many people may be deficient in genes such as GSTM1 that produce enzymes that help recycle glutathione. In short,glutathione deficiency is ubiquitous, and when glutathione becomes depleted we can no longer protect ourselves against free radicals, infections, or cancer and we can't get rid of toxins. This leads to further sickness and soon we are in the downward spiral of chronic illness.

Simply said, we need glutathione to be healthy human beings.

How does Glutathione whiten and brighten the skin

In addition to keeping our bodies young and healthy, glutathione helps to reduce pigmentation in the skin, allowing the skin to appear lighter and brighter. The simplistic explanation of how glutathione works to lighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation is that it inhibits an enzyme called tyrosinase, which produces melanin, the dark pigment in the skin. The detailed explanation of how glutathione works is as follows:

• Glutathione-induced inhibition of tyrosinase. Glycosylation blocks the maturation and transfer of tyrosinase from GERL (Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum-lysosome)-coated vesicles to the pre-melanosome.

• Direct inactivation of the enzyme tyrosinase by binding and chelating copper within the enzyme's active site.

• The increase of glutathione-reductase activity in the environment of the melanocytes may stimulate the pigment cells to produce phaeomelanin instead of eumelanin pigment. As expected, the lowest levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) were found associated with eumelanin type pigmentation,whereas the highest ones were found in the skin with phaeomelanin producing melanocytes.

• Quenching of free radicals and peroxides that contribute to tyrosinase activation and melanin formation.

• Modulation of depigmenting abilities of melanocytotoxic agents.

• Research results also indicate that glutathione inhibits the synthesis and agglutination of melanin by interrupting the function of L-DOPA. Since DOPA functions as a cofactor in the monophenolase reaction of tyrosinase, it is proposed that the ratio of 5-S-CD to DOPA may be an important factor in the regulation of tyrosinase activity in situ.

What other beauty benefits does intravenous glutathione provide

• Due to its tremendous detoxifying abilities, glutathione is an excellent treatment for acne, eczema,psoriasis, and any skin ailment.

• Glutathione prolongs the anagen stage of the hair cycle, which means a reduction in hair loss in many individuals.

• Glutathione helps reduce free radicals and tissue degeneration. A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles is often the result

• A reduced level of glutathione is often implicated in obesity and diabetes mellitus. A course of glutathione injections can often help normalize blood sugar levels and aid in weight loss.

How many glutathione are required 

Glutathione should be administered intravenously for whiten and brighten the skin.

Intravenously: dissolve the product by attached solvents and then diluted with 250 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% glucose solution, and then administered by slow intravenous infusion over a period of between 30～60 minutes.

Dosage information

Your doctor will decide how much of the medicine and how many injections you will receive depending on your conditions.

Recommended dosage for different strengths of Glutathione:1 vial/time,1time/week.

Are there any side effects with glutathione

Glutathione is possibly safe for most adults when taken by intravenous infusion. The incidence of adverse reaction is very low even at high doses and long term use. However in certain individuals, the following side effects may occur:

• Rarely allergic reactions: paroxysmal rash.

• Chest discomfort and breathing problem.

• Rarely gastrointestinal problems: anepithymia, nausea, vomiting, stomachache, etc.

• Dizziness, Body Temperature Increased, Chills.

If you has experienced a serious side effect of the above or not listed in the above, you should stop the medicine immediately and consult a qualified physician.

Since glutathione is inhibiting tyrosinase, a reduction of melanin also means a reduction in sun protection. High level SPF should be worn while undergoing glutathione injections.

How will I feel after the injection 

After the first few injections, you may feel some detox symptoms as the glutathione will be busy eliminating toxins from the body. These symptoms can include dizziness, headache, and slight nausea. After the first few injections, you should feel an increase in energy, mental acuity and overall wellness.

Precautions 

• People with renal inadequacy or other serious disease used with caution. Suggest applying to healthy bodies.

• For those lactating and pregnant–Not recommended for use.

• For those with asthma–Glutathione can increase the symptoms of asthma, and can worsen it. So still,avoid this for those with asthma.

• Products for parenteral use should be visually inspected before administration, when the container or the solution makes it possible, in order to possibly detect the presence of particles or of an abnormal color.

• Do not use in case of presence of turbidity or precipitates.
