Glutathione
Antioxidant, detoxification, immune support, reduction of inflamation. Fertility support (increases sperm motility).
Glutathione is a tripeptide, but functionally it’s the master antioxidant and the liver’s lead janitor. Every time you burn fat, process alcohol, or deal with environmental toxins, your liver is cranking through oxidative stress. Without enough glutathione, that stress turns into damage.
It helps clear toxins released by shrinking fat cells, supports mitochondrial function, and keeps your liver membranes, DNA, and enzymes protected while the heavy lifting is done.
Research has shown that natural glutathione levels decline with age, which may increase cellular vulnerability to oxidative stress. Because of these broad protective functions, glutathione is considered essential for sustaining healthy mitochondrial activity and overall cellular homeostasis.
Glutathione works just like American Wellness advertises. However…
I prefer injectable Glutathione over an IV push. It is faster and more convenient to administer, and I can custom tailor the dose (I choose lower dosages done more frequently). It is also cheaper, at only a few dollars per 100mg injection.
I split the 600mg dosage that American Wellness does into 100mg doses, taken as needed, but at most twice weekly for two weeks. If I do a two week schedule, it is a micro-dosing schedule done over two weeks instead of a sudden 600mg blast you would get from American Wellness.
To get a 100mg dose, I mix 3cc of bacteriostatic water with a 600mg vial of Glutathione. This yields a 100mg dose @ 50 units (1/2 cc), pulled via an insulin syringe.
Glutathione injection should be intramuscular (into muscle), whereas most peptides are injected subcutaneous (into fat). I prefer my thigh.
I will use glutathione if I am feeling worn out, sore, and tired, and I can’t seem to kick the feeling with more sleep, rest, and/or exercise. I find a glutathione shot to be a better pain reliever and muscle relaxer than Tylenol®, and it wakes me up like a splash of cold water.
Shortly after injection, I get a warm tingly sensation all over my body. Then over the next hour or two, an obvious diminishment of soreness (inflamation), and a wide-awake feeling.
Dosage: 100mg to 200mg per dose, every other day, until max of 600mg to 1200mg. Any time of the day. One month on, one month off. Always IM, not subcutaneous.
600mg vial with 3cc BAC, 50 units per 100mg dose = 6 doses per vial.
1500mg vial with 5cc BAC, 50 units per 150mg dose = 10 doses per vial
