In the context of increasingly polluted environment, stressful lifestyle and unbalanced nutrition, the body's endogenous detoxification system is easily overloaded and weakened.
A prominent antioxidant compound called glutathione is being evaluated by experts as helping to restore cell health, regenerate energy and bring bright and healthy skin.
Natural anti-aging shields
Dr Viral Desai, cosmetic surgeon and Medical Director at DHI Medical Group India, shared: Glutathione is a tripeptite synthesized by the liver from cysteine, glutamine and glycine. This is the most powerful endogenous antioxidant, playing a neutralizing role in free oxidants (ROS), detoxifying foreign substances and regulating the immune system.
According to Mr. Desai, when glutathione levels decrease due to age, unhealthy diets or prolonged oxidative stress, the body will face metabolic disorders, cell aging and decreased energy, clearly manifested in dull skin, prolonged fatigue and weakened immune system.
glutathione therapy is not just about beauty
Glutathione can be taken into the body through vein IV, corn injection or taken. Of which, IV is the most popular method because of its high absorption efficiency. Dr. Desai says that glutathione therapy helps:
liver detoxification: Remove heavy metals, pollutants, and toxins from the liver and kidneys.
Brightens skin: Inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, reduce melanin production that causes dark spots, helping to even out skin tone.
Optimizing cell energy: Protecting the body, increasing ATP production - the source of vital energy of cells.
Immune balance: Regulates T and cytokine cells, helping the body fight inflammation and disease.
Recognized clinical benefits
- Not only lightening the skin, glutathione has also been shown to be effective in:
- Protect the liver and support detoxification.
- Reduces chronic inflammation such as arthritis, metabolic syndrome.
- Improve cognition, reduce fatigue and increase overall vitality.
