Healthy Living with Alivia 

Glutathione is often called the body's "Master Antioxidant." It is a natural molecule produced in your liver that is essential for cellular health.

• What it does: It works like a powerful internal shield, neutralizing harmful toxins, chemicals, and unstable molecules (free radicals) that can damage your cells. This process is critical for detoxification (especially liver support), immune function, and reducing cellular aging.
• Why inject it? When taken by mouth, much of the glutathione is broken down during digestion. The injectable form (200 mg/mL) is a highly concentrated solution delivered directly into the bloodstream or muscle, allowing for maximum absorption and a potent therapeutic effect.

Self-Administration Instructions (Simple List)

1. Gather Supplies: Get your Glutathione vial, a new sterile syringe and needle, alcohol swabs, gauze, and a sharps container.
2. Wash Hands: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
3. Draw Dose: Wipe the vial stopper with an alcohol swab. Draw your prescribed dose (e.g., 1 mL) of air into the syringe, inject the air into the vial, then flip the vial and pull the medication into the syringe.
4. Clear Air: Tap the syringe to move air bubbles up, then gently push the air out.

1. Select Site: Choose an approved site (e.g., abdomen or thigh) and rotate the site each time you inject.
2. Clean Skin: Clean the site with a new alcohol swab and let the skin air-dry completely.
3. SC Technique (Into fat): Pinch a 1-to-2 inch fold of skin. Insert the needle quickly at a 45∘ or 90∘ angle. Release the pinch.
4. IM Technique (Into muscle): Stretch the skin taut. Insert the needle quickly at a 90∘ angle.
5. Inject: Slowly push the plunger until all the medication is delivered.
6. Remove: Pull the needle straight out quickly.

1. Pressure: Press a gauze pad or cotton ball over the injection site for 30 seconds to a minute (do not rub).
2. Dispose: Immediately place the used syringe and needle into your Sharps Container.
3. Monitor: Contact your doctor if you have signs of infection (severe redness, swelling, warmth) or unexpected side effects.

1. What are its most common uses?

In wellness and complementary medicine, it is frequently used to boost energy, enhance the immune system, support liver detoxification, reduce inflammation, and for its anti-aging/skin-brightening effects.

2. How is the injection given?

It is typically administered either Intramuscularly (IM), as a shot into a muscle (like the glute or deltoid), or Intravenously (IV), delivered directly into a vein, sometimes diluted in a saline solution.

3. How often should it be administered?

The frequency varies greatly depending on the individual and the goal of therapy. Protocols often range from 1 to 3 times per week for a set period, followed by a lower maintenance dose. Your prescribing provider will determine the correct schedule.

4. Are there common side effects?

Injections are generally well-tolerated. Mild, temporary side effects can include localized pain, redness, or discomfort at the injection site, or sometimes nausea/queasiness, bloating, or headache.

5. Who should avoid it?

Individuals with asthma should avoid the inhaled form, and anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a physician before use, as safety data is limited.
