Glutathione

More and more people are requesting glutathione for beauty infusions at our clinic. This trend is not only happening among beauty freaks, but also among people who like alcohol.

Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids linked together.

It is distributed throughout our bodies, but as we age, the amount of it decreases, which is why we take it intravenously or through supplements.

Glutathione has many functions, but here are three main ones:

1. It plays a major role in "antioxidation."

In other words, it protects the body from rust! We want to protect the cells that have rusted due to smoking, stress, and unbalanced diet, even just a little.

2. "Whitening"

Glutathione blocks the synthesis pathway of melanin. Along with its "antioxidant" effect, it protects the skin from UV rays, which become stronger especially in this season, and prevents blemishes. It has a synergistic effect with supplements and infusions such as vitamin C.

3. "Detox"

This is what I want you to hear today! Glutathione has a detoxifying effect against alcohol and heavy metals.

Alcohol is converted into a highly toxic substance called acetaldehyde in the body. It is the cause of the nausea, headaches, and hangovers that occur after drinking. Glutathione has the ability to wrap around acetaldehyde and excrete it from the body.

It also detoxifies the body from heavy metals and other toxins.

*Protect yourself from UV rays while skiing in the spring and from drinking after skiing!!

I love alcohol and outdoor activities. So I take glutathione before drinking or going outdoors to take care of my body and skin! Of course, I don't just rely on the power of glutathione, I also make an effort to limit my alcohol intake! (laughs)
