Before Glutathione Injections
Before considering glutathione injections, individuals may want to consult with a licensed healthcare provider to determine if this supplement aligns with their wellness goals. Considerations such as antioxidant status, liver function, and other health factors may influence the conversation.
Injection-based delivery methods, such as intramuscular or intravenous routes, are used in some wellness settings due to the limited bioavailability of oral glutathione.
People may express interest in glutathione for reasons including:
- General interest in antioxidant support
- Curiosity about skin tone or glow enhancement
- Broader wellness and lifestyle considerations
Glutathione injections are not FDA-approved for cosmetic outcomes, and Eden does not offer or promote these treatments.
After Glutathione Injections
Some individuals who receive glutathione injections may report:
- A perceived increase in energy or focus
- A subjective improvement in skin appearance
- A general sense of wellness support
These experiences are anecdotal and may vary significantly from person to person. There is currently no FDA-approved indication or conclusive clinical evidence confirming cosmetic or aesthetic benefits of glutathione.
Some limited research suggests antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but further studies are needed [4].
It is important to ensure any injectable treatment is administered by a licensed professional and sourced from a state-licensed pharmacy.
Limitations and Considerations
Glutathione has not been approved by the FDA for anti-aging, cosmetic, or skin lightening purposes.
Eden does not provide, dispense, or promote glutathione injections.
Individuals should speak with a licensed healthcare provider before starting any supplement or wellness regimen.
Conclusion
Glutathione injections have become a topic of interest in wellness communities, particularly for their potential antioxidant properties. However, outcomes vary, and current clinical evidence does not support guaranteed results, especially for cosmetic purposes. It’s important to approach these treatments with realistic expectations and guidance from a licensed healthcare provider.
While glutathione is not part of Eden’s treatment offerings, licensed healthcare providers on the Eden platform may be able to address general questions about supplements and wellness strategies as part of a broader care discussion.
