Glutathione.
A tripeptide antioxidant the body produces on its own. Compounded glutathione may be prescribed if a licensed clinician determines it is appropriate for you.
What to expect.
- Administered by injection on a schedule set by your clinician
- Prescribed only after a medical intake and clinician review
- Check-ins and adjustments through the patient portal
- Reviewed as part of your overall clinician-supervised protocol
Dr. Taylor's take
“I consider glutathione when a patient's history and goals point to it, and I prescribe it only after a complete intake. It is one supportive component of a clinician-supervised protocol, not a treatment for any disease.”
Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD · Live Vital physician
About Glutathione.
Also known as: GSH, L-Glutathione
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide made of three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine and glycine. Cells produce it, and it functions as an antioxidant in normal cell chemistry.
Live Vital prescribes compounded glutathione by injection, which a licensed pharmacy prepares for an individual patient. It is not FDA-approved and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. It is available only after a medical intake and review by a licensed clinician, and only if the clinician determines it is appropriate for you.
How it works
Glutathione participates in the reactions cells use to neutralize reactive oxygen species. Prescribed glutathione is administered by injection on a schedule your clinician sets after your intake.
Who may be evaluated.
- Adults interested in a clinician-supervised longevity protocol
- Patients already working with the Live Vital clinical team
- Eligibility is determined by a licensed clinician after a medical intake
How treatment is managed.
Your clinician sets the dose and schedule after your intake and reviews it at regular check-ins. Responses differ from person to person. Outcomes vary by individual and are not guaranteed.
Dosing is not one-size-fits-all. Your clinician sets your dose and schedule after your medical intake, and adjusts it as treatment progresses.
