Listed below are uses of IV glutathione and an IV glutathione protocol
| To elevate glutathione naturally consider NAC (N-acetyl cysteine 500mg 2/d), and or whey protein daily. In diabetics or neurological conditions, I often increase the Certain foods can elevate glutathione as well, which I will list below |
The benefits of glutathione are enormous

Glutathione Functions
| AntioxidantDetoxifyingBinds to toxins to facilitate removal, uses enzyme Glutathione-s-transferase (GST) Mercury Mycotoxins Cell Signal Immune cells |
Glutathione is made up of 3 amino acids :
| Cysteine (contains sulfur molecule) Glycine Glutamine |
I.V. Protocol for Glutathione
| Safe Dosage: 500-2500 mg A mix in 5-10 ml of sterile water Push over 3-5 minutes Repeat 2-3 times per week for the first month, then weekly, for a month, the two weekly as desired |
Liposomal glutathione is a great was to supplement glutathione orally :
| Liposomal Glutathione prevents Ox – LDL formation which occurs with low GSH (reduced glutathione) OxLDL → Foam Cells → Plaque Rupture → Sudden Obstruction of Anti-oxidant and anti-atherogenic properties of liposomal glutathione: studies in vitro, and in the atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. Atherosclerosis. 2007;195(2):e61-8. |

- Gawryluk JW, et al Decreased levels of glutathione, the major brain antioxidant, in post-mortem prefrontal cortex from patients with psychiatric disorders. The international journal of neuropsychopharmacology 2010:1-8. PubMed: 20633320
- S-nitrosoglutathione GSNO ← GSH + NO
- Formation of GSNO is a mechanism for storage and transport of nitric oxide
- A major source of bronchodilatory NO activity
- Decreased GSNO activity found in asthma
- Protection from experimental asthma by an endogenous bronchodilator

Encourage foods that are high glutathione precursors:
| Avocados Potato Strawberries Watermelon NAC BCAA Rosemary (increase glutathione transferase by 400%) |
