Intravenous (IV) Support Therapies (Glutathione, Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid)

Intravenous (IV) support therapy, also known as intravenous treatment, refers to the administration of fluids directly into the bloodstream through veins. IV therapies that include antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Glutathione, and Alpha Lipoic Acid are widely used to support a healthier and more vibrant life, boosting the immune system and providing necessary support for various health conditions.

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants produced by the body. It consists of three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. Glutathione serves as an antioxidant, aiding the body in fighting free radicals. Several factors can decrease glutathione levels in the body, including:

• Alcohol and tobacco use
• Various medications
• Toxic load
• Chronic diseases
• Poor diet
• Age
• Environmental factors

Symptoms of Glutathione Deficiency:

When glutathione levels are low, some symptoms may appear, including:

• Fatigue
• Low energy
• Lack of concentration
• Memory problems
• Slow healing of wounds

These symptoms do not necessarily mean you have glutathione deficiency. A proper diagnosis requires blood tests under a doctor's supervision.

What are the Benefits of Glutathione? What Does It Do?

When glutathione levels drop or more glutathione is needed, supplementation can be applied in the form of capsules, liquid, or glutathione serum. The benefits include:

• Reducing the effects of aging,
• Preventing diseases,
• Staying healthy,
• Strengthening the immune system,
• Controlling chronic inflammation,
• Fibromyalgia,
• Chronic fatigue syndrome,
• Degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, MS, ALS, and Alzheimer's,
• Diabetes and insulin resistance.

In addition to all of these, glutathione therapy can also be used as a sports supplement to enhance muscle performance, as well as for psoriasis, acne, skin blemishes and wrinkles, or skin diseases.

How is Glutathione Therapy Applied?

IV Glutathione is typically administered 1 or 2 times a week for a total of 5-6 sessions, depending on the patient's condition. Ensure that the product is certified and sourced from trusted pharmacies, as many counterfeit products exist on the market.

High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy

Vitamin C is one of the most vital vitamins for many biological functions in the body. High-dose Vitamin C is commonly used due to its antioxidant effects and its role in strengthening the immune system. It plays a key role in protecting and regenerating tissues and cells, and it is essential for cognitive function and a strong memory. Vitamin C is also necessary for the formation and health of collagen, which is found in skin, hair, nails, bones, and cartilage.

Benefits of High-Dose Vitamin C:

• Strengthening the immune system
• Formation, protection, and regeneration of tissues such as bones, skin, and blood vessels
• Facilitating the absorption of iron from the intestines, thus addressing iron deficiency
• Repair and development of all tissues in the body
• Accelerating wound healing
• Cleaning free radicals in the body with its antioxidant effect
• Necessary for mental function activity and a strong memory

Vitamin C use is not very suitable for patients who form kidney stones.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that plays a vital role in cellular processes such as energy production. The body can produce all the alpha-lipoic acid it needs, but sometimes external supplementation may be required. It has direct effects in various organs and systems due to its ability to dissolve in both water and fat.

What Does Alpha Lipoic Acid Do?

• It is used very actively, especially in diabetes (sugar) and in reducing the side effects of this disease.
• Its effect on blood sugar control has been demonstrated by many studies.
• It is also effectively used in neuropathic pain caused by diabetes.
• It has high anti-aging effects.
• Contributes to strengthening the immune system.
• Due to its effect on blood sugar control, it is also used for weight loss purposes.
• It removes toxic substances affecting the liver from the body.
• It can be safely used in the monitoring of chronic and autoimmune diseases.
• It is a powerful antioxidant that slows the progression of memory loss disorders.
• It helps in the regeneration of brain cells in patients who have had a stroke.
• By ensuring the healthy functioning of brain cells, it has significant effects in diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

How is Alpha Lipoic Acid Therapy Applied?

ALA therapy is typically administered once or twice a week, for a total of 5-6 sessions. The number of sessions may vary depending on the individual’s health condition.
