Glutathione

Potential benefits may include:

• Supports detoxification and liver function
• Helps neutralize oxidative stress and free radical damage
• Supports immune system function and resilience
• May improve energy levels and reduce fatigue
• Supports skin health, brightness, and overall complexion
• May aid recovery from illness, inflammation, or toxin exposure

• Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Safety has not been established; use is not recommended.
• Known Allergy or Sulfur Sensitivity: Avoid use if you have a known sensitivity to glutathione or sulfur-containing compounds.
• Active Asthma or Severe Respiratory Conditions: Use with caution and provider guidance, as glutathione may trigger bronchospasm in rare cases.
• Severe Liver or Kidney Disease: Should be used only under medical supervision.

Mild, short-term side effects may occasionally occur, particularly with initial use or higher doses, including:

• Temporary redness, tenderness, or itching at the injection site
• Mild nausea or stomach discomfort
• Flushing or warmth of the face or body
• Mild headache or light fatigue as detoxification and antioxidant pathways activate
• Rare skin reactions (rash or itching), more likely in individuals with sulfur sensitivity

These effects are typically mild and resolve quickly. Starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing can help assess individual tolerance and minimize side effects.

For safe and informed use, review the Extension Health Injection Reaction Guide (PDF), which outlines what to expect, how to reduce discomfort, and when to seek medical support.

• Hours to Days (Immediate Support): Glutathione begins acting immediately as a direct antioxidant, helping neutralize free radicals and support liver detoxification pathways. During this phase, some patients notice reduced inflammation, improved mental clarity, easier breathing, or a general sense of relief—especially during periods of illness, toxin exposure, travel, or post-procedure recovery.
• Days to Weeks (Active Recovery): With repeated dosing over days or weeks, glutathione helps lower overall oxidative stress and supports immune regulation. Patients may experience improvements in fatigue, brain fog, inflammatory symptoms, skin clarity, and recovery from illness or stress, particularly when glutathione is used during active symptoms or healing phases.
• Weeks to Months (Resilience & Maintenance): With ongoing or cyclical use, glutathione supports sustained antioxidant capacity, efficient detoxification, and cellular protection. Benefits during this phase may include more stable energy levels, improved immune resilience, reduced inflammatory flare-ups, and enhanced overall vitality. For this reason, glutathione is commonly used both short-term for symptom support and longer-term as part of longevity, detox, or mitochondrial protocols.
