The GH/IGF-1 axis promotes muscle protein synthesis and lean body mass gain, enhances lipolysis and fat oxidation (reducing adipose tissue), stimulates bone formation and mineralization, supports immune function, influences cognitive function and mood, improves sleep quality and architecture, enhances skin collagen production and thickness, and modulates glucose and lipid metabolism
Intravenous Glutathione IV glutathione carries additional risks beyond oral supplementation [60]: Skin rashes Abdominal pain Thyroid dysfunction Liver dysfunction Kidney dysfunction and possible kidney failure Stevens-Johnson syndrome (rare) These risks have been documented particularly in the context of IV glutathione used for cosmetic skin lightening, where it may be administered repeatedly at high doses (600-2,400 mg per session) [60]
When reactive oxygen species threaten your cells, glutathione steps in and neutralizes them, helping to manage oxidative stress
Injection site reactions Lipohypertrophy, irritation, redness, and bruising can occur at injection sites
