5 Benefits of Glutathione IV Therapy

For centuries, people have been searching for the fountain of youth, the one thing that will keep them young and glowing forever. But all they really needed to do was look inside their bodies. Glutathione, often called the Master Molecule or Master Antioxidant, is a powerful antioxidant our bodies produce in droves—and it’s packed full of everything we need for that youthful look and feel.

There’s a problem, though. We may produce a ton of it, but we also do a lot of things that cancel it out: eating poorly, spending time in highly polluted areas, or taking too many medications. Even getting sick and just the process of getting older can lower the amount of glutathione in our bodies.

But thanks to places like Bounce Hydration, we have a chance to increase glutathione levels in our bodies so we can enjoy all the benefits. It’s through IV therapy where glutathione is put into our bloodstream intravenously. Here’s everything you need to know about glutathione, what it is, and why it’s so good for you.

Glutathione is a tripeptide—a combination of three amino acids called cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. It’s present in most of the cells in our bodies, though it’s most often found concentrated in the liver. Here’s what makes it so great, though. Glutathione contains a sticky sulfur chemical group that collects all the bad molecules floating around in your body and neutralizes them. These are called free radicals, and when they’re eliminated, your immune system gets a massive boost.

Glutathione IV infusion therapy comes with a powerful package of benefits for both your skin and body. Once you get it and see how you feel, you’ll understand why it’s called the Master Molecule. These are just some of the benefits.

Nearly every person with some sort of chronic illness—like Parkinson’s Disease, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, and cancer—has one similar characteristic: They’re low on glutathione. When we’ve introduced too many toxins into our bodies or become overwhelmed with oxidative stress, we get sick. Glutathione uses its antioxidant powers to eliminate those toxins and stress, leading to prevention of chronic illness.

Glutathione spends a lot of time repairing damaged cells—particularly the ones that spur the aging process. By removing free radicals from our bodies, we’re welcoming in stronger hair and nails, tighter and brighter skin, and higher energy levels. Glutathione also encourages mitochondrial growth, creating younger, more beneficial cells to replace the aging ones.

If you want to reach your peak ability athletically, glutathione is one of the best supplements for it. Not only does it decrease incidents of muscle damage, it also boosts your strength and endurance; encourages your body to make more muscle than fat; and reduces recovery times.

Free radicals love to congregate in your body, causing inflammation and damage to whatever meeting spot they choose. But when you have enough glutathione in your body, the antioxidant busts up the free radical party—which means you can say goodbye to inflammation because those cell-damaging molecules causing it were just kicked out.

Glutathione is most commonly found in our livers, waiting for any toxins to flow through so it can attach to them and help get them out of the body. By default, that means it’s detoxifying the liver, which helps stave off conditions like fatty liver disease.

As with anything you put into your body, you may experience some unwanted side effects. For glutathione, they’re generally not too serious—but they can alter both the way you look and the way you feel.

A surprising side effect of glutathione is that it can unexpectedly lighten your skin tone. Once it gets into your body, it deactivates tyrosinase, the enzyme that produces melanin. Depending on your personal preference, that can be a good or bad thing—in a similar way that the effects of a tanning bed can be considered both good and bad. But in any case, it’s only a temporary shift. As soon as the glutathione cycles through your system, the skin lightening effects dissipate.

It’s important to be sure any glutathione drip you’re getting is from a reliable source and being given in the proper manner and dosage, like you’d find at Bounce Hydration. If that doesn’t happen, some people may experience flu-like side effects such as fever, chills, headache, and nausea. Keep in mind, though, that these effects were seen only in a very small sample size—so it’s quite possible you won’t have any adverse effects at all.

For all its benefits, glutathione struggles with one thing: really getting absorbed into our bodies. Oral glutathione supplements are a start, but enzymes in our stomachs immediately begin to dissolve the bonds holding the three amino acids together. And without those bonds, it won’t be absorbed into our systems.

When you take glutathione intravenously through IV infusion therapy, though, it goes right into the bloodstream. That means you don’t have to worry about whether the antioxidant is being absorbed, because you’re doing the hard work for it to begin with.

If you’re dragging—maybe you’re hungover, not getting enough sleep, or recovering from a cold—come into Bounce Hydration to try a glutathione IV drip today. Not only will it keep your skin looking radiant, but you’ll also feel refreshed and revived.
