Glutathione Therapy

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione treatment is one of the most preferred treatments in recent years. Especially during the Corona virus process, patients prefer to take glutathione supplements to strengthen their immune systems. The reason is that it strengthens the immune system in case of any viral infection, thus reducing the effects of the infection. It also ensures that any discomfort experienced is overcome in the mildest way. It contains three amino acids: Glutamine, Glycine and Cysteine. It is recommended to take it regularly for a healthy life and an old age where the effects of the disease are at a minimum level.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body against the formation of many diseases as well as providing immunity to the body. Its benefits are endless. It prevents the formation of many chronic diseases that cause problems today. However, it should not be limited to chronic diseases only. In general, it makes the body resistant to diseases and infections. It supports the cells to work better and when it is found in sufficient quantities in the body, it supports the person to live a healthy and higher standard life. Since its production gradually decreases in the body after the age of 20, it also minimizes the signs of aging in people if supplemented.

What causes glutathione deficiency? How does it work?

The level of glutathione produced in the body begins to decrease with age. An unhealthy diet and an unbalanced lifestyle accelerate the decrease in the level of glutathione in the body. However, creating a healthy diet alone is not enough to correct this deficiency. As it begins to decrease in the body, it affects the immune system. It loses its preventive effect on many diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and dementia, and causes the person to become more vulnerable to these diseases.

How is glutathione treatment applied?

Glutathione treatment can be supplemented orally or intravenously. However, taking it orally is not a sufficient solution in most cases. The most effective form is IV glutathione treatment taken intravenously. What we recommend to our patients in our clinic is to take glutathione supplements once a week, at least 4 to 6 sessions. The treatment is administered intravenously and is applied for an average of 30 minutes. In addition to glutathione, there is also vitamin C supplement. Vitamin C also makes this serum supplement more powerful and protective. It is of great importance that it is applied in a sterile clinical environment.

Can glutathione treatment be supplemented with nutrients?

It is not possible to regulate glutathione levels with nutrients alone. However, it is possible to support this treatment with nutrients while receiving glutathione treatment. We can give the following examples of foods that increase glutathione levels as plants; spinach, grapefruit, asparagus, apple, artichoke and cauliflower. With these foods, an additional resistance is gained in addition to the treatment by establishing a healthy diet.

Does glutathione affect the skin?

Glutathione supplementation supports the skin to have a healthier and more vibrant appearance. It increases the moisture content of the skin while also equalizing the color tones. It creates a lightening effect on the skin. It especially prevents the formation of melanin on the face and plays an active role in the treatment of spots. In other words, glutathione treatment does not only protect against diseases. It also protects the skin against signs of aging and spot formation and provides resistance.
