Header Block / Hero Intro
Glutathione may be the most important antioxidant you’ve never heard of. Naturally produced in the liver, this powerhouse molecule plays a crucial role in detoxification, cellular repair, and immune defense.
But as with many essential compounds, glutathione levels decline with age, stress, and toxicity—which is why replenishing it is a key strategy in advanced wellness and longevity protocols.
Let’s break down what glutathione does, why it matters, and how it fits into modern regenerative care.
What Is Glutathione and Why Is It Important?
Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It’s sometimes called the “master antioxidant” because of its ability to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
In simpler terms: glutathione is one of your body’s first lines of defense against cellular damage.
The Benefits of Glutathione Support
Research shows glutathione may help:
Support liver detoxification and remove environmental toxins
Improve immune function by protecting immune cells
Brighten skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation
Protect brain cells and reduce neuroinflammation
Promote better energy and recovery by reducing oxidative load
It’s also been shown to play a role in regulating inflammation and supporting longevity—especially when combined with IV delivery or other regenerative support.
Why IV Glutathione Makes a Difference
Oral glutathione supplements are limited by absorption. That’s why IV glutathione therapy is the preferred method in clinical care—it bypasses the gut, delivering glutathione directly into the bloodstream for faster, more efficient cellular access.
At Bloom, glutathione is available as a standalone IV or paired with other protocols like NAD⁺, vitamin C, or Myers’ cocktails.
Who Is It For?
Glutathione support is ideal for:
Clients undergoing detox or post-surgery recovery
Individuals with skin health goals or pigmentation concerns
Anyone seeking to support longevity and immune resilience
Clients under high stress or recovering from inflammation-related fatigue
How We Integrate It at Bloom
As with all of our protocols, we begin with diagnostics and personalized care planning. Glutathione may be recommended as part of your IV therapy or anti-aging strategy depending on your health profile and goals.
