Glutathione is an antioxidant that is produced by your body’s cells. It’s made up of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine.
Antioxidants can help to prevent oxidative stress, which is when your body is unable to fight off free radicals and other harmful toxins. These toxins can cause damage to your cells, and long term could even lead to diseases such as diabetes, cancer and arthritis.
Research suggests that Glutathione can also benefit the body in other ways, such as supporting immune function, forming sperm cells, transporting mercury out of the brain and helping the liver and gallbladder deal with fats.
The levels of Glutathione in your body can decrease due to poor nutrition, environmental toxins, stress or ageing. That’s why it can be a good idea to top up your levels with an IV drip.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I BOOK AN IV DRIP?
After booking, please complete the questionnaire you will be sent. This will be analysed by our team prior to your appointment.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN MY APPOINTMENT?
When you receive an IV drip at home a nurse or doctor will review the reason the treatment is required and conduct a thorough review of your past medical history, allergies and they will then take some observations and if necessary examine you. This is to ensure that it’s safe to prescribe and administer a drip to you. If a nurse has undertaken this assessment it is then fed into our online medical database and a Doctor in real time analyses this information and will then prescribe you the appropriate and safe treatment for the nurse to administer. Sometimes a follow up call or visit by the Doctor is required. Once a prescription has been formulated your treatment will be administered to you by the practitioner who will monitor you throughout.
