Glutathione promotes the activity of other antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, which are critical in protecting immune cells from oxidative damage
This reaction results from tissue disruption and typically resolves within hours
The Role of Diet in Glutathione Levels While supplements are powerful tools, they work best when supported by a solid nutritional foundation
Common Side Effects (affecting less than 5% of patients): Mild injection site irritation or bruising Temporary headache (usually related to detox reactions) Mild nausea or stomach discomfort Brief dizziness or lightheadedness Rare but Serious Reactions : Allergic reactions (rash, difficulty breathing, swelling) Significant blood pressure changes Severe abdominal cramping Drug Interactions : Glutathione can potentially interact with certain chemotherapy drugs and may affect blood clotting in patients taking anticoagulants
