Experienced with Glutathione Treatment

Many of our Vitamin treatments can be followed by Glutathione 

Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that interacts with reactive oxygen species & reactive nitrogen species.

Our Edmonton Clinic has given thousands of Glutathione Therapy treatments for various conditions.

Glutathione does have some cosmetic benefits in some patients when given - our Naturopathic doctors use Glutathione Therapy for cosmetic "brightening" and "lightening" purposes.  

In a 2012 study, medical students were given either glutathione or placebo for 4 weeks and a lightening of the skin was seen (the melanin indices decreased consistently) in those who received glutathione.

Glutathione Uses: 

Glutathione In-Depth:

Glutathione is found in the cytosol of all mammalian tissues

Glutathione is synthesized using constituent amino acids Glutamine, Cysteine and Glycine therefore our Naturopathic doctors often recommend acetylated Cysteine or "NAC" to increase Glutathione orally. 

Glutathione is synthesized in all cell types with the maximum Glutathione synthesized and exported from the liver.

Glutathione is also responsible for detoxification of xenobiotics, either directly by conjugating or acting as a substrate in conjugation reactions for this reason our Naturopaths often use Glutathione or its precursors to "improve" liver function or aid in hormone removal.

GSH is known to cross the Blood Brain Barrier through Na-dependent Glutathione transporter.

So Glutathione Therapy administration can certainly increase nervous system levels of Glutathione hence the use of Glutathione Therapy in neurological disorders. 

In the brain, Glutathione neutralizes of redox-active metals like copper and iron as metal induced toxicity and interactions with cellular components have been associated with neurodegenerative disorders.

Glutathione is  involved in the maintenance of optimal cytokine levels.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6 reduce with Glutathione administration therefore our Naturopaths also like Glutathione Therapy in Autoimmune diseases hence its use in MS. 

Some data emerged in 2020 linking low levels of Glutathione to the serious manifestations of COVID-19 and case reports use Glutathione therapy for improving COVID outcomes.  

Glutathione is easily added to the end of other Vitamin Therapy treatments.

Most commonly our Naturopaths add Glutathione to Vitamin Therapy or NAD Therapy treatments.

Glutathione Therapy FAQ

Can Glutathione Therapy be used for cosmetic purposes?

Glutathione does appear to have cosmetic benefit with repeated treatment. 

The skin brightening and lightening properties of Glutathione Therapy are thought to be primarily from stimulation of  pheomelanin (lighter) pigment production rather than eumelanin (darker). 

Are they any side effects to Glutathione Therapy?

Our Naturopaths have administered an estimated 1000 Glutathione Therapy treatments to our Edmonton patients and the incidence of side effects is essentially zero.

Occasionally minor shortness of breath can occur with rapid treatments of Glutathione.

How many Glutathione Treatments do I need?

It depends on what we're using the Glutathione for.

For inflammation our Naturopaths often suggest frequent treatment (eg. daily or every other day).

For cosmetic purposes "lightening and brightening" our Naturopathic Doctors usually suggest 1-2 Glutathione Therapy Treatments weekly for 4-8 weeks. 

Can I have any other treatments with my Glutathione?

Definitely. Glutathione is often added by our Naturopaths to the end of other Therapy treatments like the Vitamin Cocktails or NAD+.

We seldom mix anything directly with the Glutathione, however, occasionally Dr. Muradov will spike the Glutathione with some B12.

Our Naturopaths will give NAD+ and Glutathione back to back for longevity. 

What kinds of doses of Glutathione do you give?

Our Naturopaths have experience with a range of Glutathione Therapy doses.

Doses can range anywhere from 1 to 6 grams (1000-6000mg) although it's possible for them to be higher or lower but that's less common.

In general, our Naturopathic Doctors usually suggest doses from 2-4 grams for most neurological issues or for cosmetic purposes.
