Glutathione 

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant made up of three key amino acids—glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Found in every cell of your body, it plays a crucial role in the following ways:

• Neutralizing Free Radicals: Glutathione donates an electron to unstable free radicals, neutralizing them and preventing oxidative damage to cells and DNA.
• Regenerating Other Antioxidants: It helps regenerate other antioxidants, like vitamins C and E, restoring their ability to combat oxidative stress.
• Detoxification: Glutathione binds to harmful toxins, heavy metals, and metabolic byproducts, making them water-soluble so the body can eliminate them through urine or bile.
• Supporting Enzyme Activity: It serves as a cofactor for several antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, which protects against lipid peroxidation, and glutathione S-transferase, which detoxifies harmful compounds.
• Maintaining Redox Balance: Glutathione exists in two forms—reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG). The GSH
  ratio helps maintain the redox state of the cell, essential for cell function and survival.
• Protein Regulation: Through a process called glutathionylation, it modifies protein functions, protecting them from irreversible oxidative damage.

Benefits of IV Glutathione

IV glutathione delivers this powerful antioxidant directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption and effectiveness. While individual results may vary, here are some commonly reported benefits:

1. Antioxidant Support: Helps combat oxidative stress by neutralizing harmful free radicals and protecting cells.
2. Detoxification: Aids in the elimination of toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful substances from the body.
3. Skin Health: Known to support a brighter, more even complexion by reducing oxidative damage and promoting skin health.
4. Energy Boost: Helps optimize cellular energy production by protecting mitochondria from damage.
5. Immune Support: Strengthens the immune system by maintaining a balanced cellular environment.
6. Liver Health: Plays a key role in detoxifying the liver, supporting its function and overall well-being.

Vitamin C 

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a potent antioxidant and cofactor in various biochemical processes:

• Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C donates electrons to neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage. This helps maintain cellular integrity and supports overall health.
• Collagen Synthesis: It plays a crucial role in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine, amino acids essential for forming stable collagen—a protein critical for skin, connective tissues, and wound healing.
• Immune Support: Vitamin C enhances the activity of immune cells, such as phagocytes and lymphocytes, improving the body’s defense mechanisms.
• Iron Absorption: It converts ferric iron (Fe³⁺) into ferrous iron (Fe²⁺), the form more easily absorbed by the body, helping prevent iron deficiency.
• Regeneration of Antioxidants: Vitamin C regenerates other antioxidants, such as vitamin E, restoring their ability to combat oxidative stress.
• Neurotransmitter Production: It is a cofactor in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, crucial for brain function and mood regulation.

Benefits of IV Vitamin C

IV vitamin C delivers this essential nutrient directly into your bloodstream, allowing for higher doses and better absorption than oral intake. Here are some key benefits people commonly experience:

1. Antioxidant Power: Fights oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and protecting cells from damage.
2. Immune Boost: Supports immune function by enhancing the activity of white blood cells and promoting faster recovery.
3. Collagen Production: Stimulates collagen synthesis for healthier skin, stronger connective tissues, and faster wound healing.
4. Energy Support: Helps combat fatigue by supporting cellular energy production and reducing oxidative stress.
5. Skin Glow: Promotes a radiant complexion by reducing inflammation and oxidative damage.
6. Enhanced Iron Absorption: Improves the body’s ability to absorb iron, supporting better energy and oxygen transport.
