Glutathione
The body's principal intracellular antioxidant, supplemented for oxidative stress and detoxification support.
This is a compounded preparation made by a licensed pharmacy. It is not FDA-approved, and it is prescribed only when a licensed provider determines it is appropriate for you.

Your consult is free. We will not prescribe this, or anything, before a clinician has spoken with you. Final cost depends on the form and dose prescribed.
Mechanism
The master antioxidant.
Glutathione is the primary antioxidant produced inside your own cells, central to neutralising free radicals and supporting liver detoxification pathways.
Levels fall with age, illness, alcohol and chronic stress. Oral supplementation is poorly absorbed, which is why injection and intranasal routes are used.
It is frequently paired with NAD+ therapy, one supports energy production, the other manages the oxidative byproducts of it.
Protocol
How treatment usually runs.
A typical schedule. Yours is set by your clinician, and adjusted as you go.
| Phase | Weeks | Typical | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | 1–2 | Low dose, weekly | Assess tolerance. |
| Maintenance | 3+ | Weekly or twice weekly | Often alongside NAD+. |
What to expect
Honestly, over time.
Subtle
Effects are not dramatic and should not be sold as such.
Skin and energy
Where patients most often report change.
Reassess
Continued only if there is a real benefit.
Evidence
What the research shows.
Glutathione is essential to cellular antioxidant defense, and injectable routes bypass the poor oral absorption problem.
Clinical evidence for supplementation in healthy adults is limited. Reported benefits are largely subjective.
Results vary. Clinical trial results apply only to the FDA-approved branded medication specifically identified and do not apply to compounded medications. All medications must be prescribed by a licensed provider based on medical necessity.
Safety and eligibility
Your consult and labs screen for all of the following.
- Tell your provider about asthma, rare bronchospasm has been reported.
- Common side effects include injection-site reaction and mild GI upset.
- Not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Not FDA-approved for this use, prescribed at your provider's discretion.
FAQ
Glutathione questions.
It is the body's main intracellular antioxidant, neutralising free radicals and supporting liver detoxification. Levels decline with age, illness, alcohol and chronic stress.
Oral glutathione is largely broken down in digestion before absorption. Injection and intranasal routes bypass that, which is why they are the preferred delivery for therapeutic use.
Yes, and the pairing is common. NAD+ supports energy production; glutathione manages the oxidative byproducts. Many longevity protocols include both.
