In the world of health and wellness, all of the different vitamins, minerals and other supplements that promise a variety of health benefits are typically in the spotlight. However, there is another compound that has been raising eyebrows and gaining popularity – glutathione. Glutathione, also referred to as the “mother of all antioxidants”, plays a critical role in maintaining optimal health and well-being.

This treatment has been hard to find – but at Pro Health, we have it readily available. In fact, we are the only clinic in Memphis that understands and offers Intravenous Glutathione to our patients.

What is glutathione? 

Glutathione, a tripeptide composed of three amino acids – cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid, acts as a potent antioxidant, detoxifier and immune system booster. Its antioxidant properties allow it to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells and lead to chronic diseases and premature aging. By getting rid of these harmful free radicals, glutathione helps protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, further promoting overall health and longevity.

Detoxification

Glutathione also plays a huge role in detoxification processes within the body. It binds to toxins, heavy metals and other substances, facilitating their removal from the body through urine or bile. This function is vital for maintaining a healthy liver, the body’s primary detox organ. By enhancing the liver’s ability to eliminate toxins, glutathione infusions can help improve liver function and overall detoxification processes in the body.

Healthy immune system

Along with its amazing detoxification properties, glutathione also plays a part in keeping a healthy immune system. A strong immune system is essential for fighting off infections and diseases, as well as maintaining overall health. Glutathione helps boost immune function by supporting the activity of immune cells and enhancing the body’s defense mechanisms against pathogens. By replenishing glutathione levels through infusions, individuals can strengthen their immune system and improve their resistance to various illnesses.

Improved skin health

One of the greatest benefits of glutathione infusions is the potential to improve skin health and promote a more youthful appearance. Oxidative stress and free radical damage are major contributors to skin aging and can lead to wrinkles, fine lines and a dull complexion. As a powerful antioxidant, glutathione helps to protect the skin from these damaging effects, leaving us with a brighter, smoother and more radiant skin tone.
