Glutathione Injection

Glutathione is a tripeptide your cells make from three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine and glycine. It is found throughout the body and is central to cellular antioxidant systems.

Because it takes part in reactions that neutralize reactive oxygen species. In doing so it becomes oxidized glutathione, which cells convert back, so it works as part of an ongoing redox cycle.

An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, which can disrupt normal redox signaling and lead to molecular damage. Glutathione is one of several antioxidant systems the body uses to keep that balance.

In the body's own biology, glutathione takes part in conjugation reactions, including in the liver, that change certain compounds into forms that can be eliminated. That is not the same as a treatment claim. Compounded glutathione injection has not been shown to cleanse the body, remove unspecified toxins or treat toxicity, and Vivo does not claim it does.

Glutathione is often marketed for skin, but findings from other routes or formulations should not be applied to this compounded injection. Vivo does not represent its compounded glutathione injection as a treatment for pigmentation, melasma, acne, wrinkles or any other skin condition. If a skin concern is your main goal, talk to your provider.

Glutathione has important roles inside cells, but that biology doesn't establish that compounded injectable glutathione changes how energetic you feel. That hasn't been shown. Fatigue has many causes, and your provider can help look at them.

Glutathione's roles in the body's own antioxidant and redox systems are well established. That is different from showing that taking compounded injectable glutathione changes immune function, which has not been shown. Vivo makes no immune claim for this medication.

The route and the experience differ. Both are used at home as prescribed; the injection needs syringes and alcohol pads, which are included, while the nasal spray is needle-free. They are separate prescriptions, and your provider decides which, if either, is appropriate. Different routes should not be assumed to have equivalent absorption, bioavailability or effects.

Vivo doesn't claim it is. Different routes can produce different pharmacokinetic profiles, and there isn't formulation-specific evidence showing that this compounded injection is absorbed better than nasal, IV or oral glutathione.

There isn't a clinically established timeframe in which compounded injectable glutathione should be expected to produce a particular wellness or appearance outcome. Individual experiences vary.

Your provider and the dispensing pharmacy give you instructions for your specific prescription: how to prepare the dose, how to inject it, how to rotate sites and how to dispose of used sharps. Follow them exactly, and don't change the amount or frequency without talking to your provider.

Follow the storage instructions on your prescription label and from the dispensing pharmacy.

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed.

Yes. Every Vivo protocol is prescription-only. When you complete your intake, a licensed US provider in your state reviews your medical history and, if appropriate, writes the prescription. The compounded medication is then shipped directly to your door.

No prescription is issued, and you are not charged for medication. Entering payment information at checkout authorizes your payment method — it does not capture a charge. A charge is captured only after a provider approves the prescription.
