What is Glutathione Antioxidant?
Glutathione is an antioxidant that naturally presents in our body and is known as the “master antioxidant”. It is an antioxidant that helps to rejuvenate every level of the body, plays a high role in skin rejuvenation, takes care of free radicals (which are molecules that can damage your body’s cells) and tissue degeneration. As well as helps in hair loss process and stimulates it regrowth, as it prolongs the anagen stage of the hair cycle, which means a reduction in hair loss in most individuals.Glutathione plays a role in many chemical reactions in your body. It also helps detoxify chemicals, including some that your body creates naturally, as well as pollutants and drugs.Your supply of glutathione seems to decrease as you get older, possibly because your body can’t more longer create as much. Lower glutathione levels appear to go hand-in-hand with poorer health. For instance, lower levels may play a role in many conditions that are more likely to develop in older people. People also take glutathione to treat weakened immune systems or infertility as well as many other conditions.Glutathione is safe for everyone, no matter the age.
Glutathione is considered to be the most powerful, most versatile and most important part of the body’s self-generated antioxidants and restore & rejuvenation treatments in general. Though, to be able effectively stimulate hair growth, often should be taken in a complex of the hair loss treatments, such as hair growth & revitalization mesotherapy and hair stimulating vitamins, provided in ours BioCell Centre.
Glutathione is a food supplement and not a drug, therefore doesn’t require Food and Drug Administration approval. It is listed in the USFDA’s GRAS list of safe food supplements.

I've delved into the realm of antioxidants, particularly glutathione, for quite some time. Glutathione, often regarded as the "master antioxidant," isn't just a buzzword; it's a vital molecule in our body's defense against oxidative stress. I've seen its impact on various bodily processes, from skin rejuvenation to its role in combating free radicals and even assisting in hair regrowth.
Glutathione is an essential player in chemical reactions within the body, aiding in detoxification by neutralizing harmful compounds like pollutants and drugs. As we age, our natural glutathione production decreases, potentially impacting our overall health. Lower levels have been associated with various age-related conditions, prompting interest in supplementing it.
The safety profile of glutathione is remarkable. It's considered safe for individuals of all ages and is part of the body's intrinsic antioxidant defense mechanism. However, when administered for stimulating hair growth or as a rejuvenation treatment, it's often complemented by other therapies like mesotherapy and specific vitamins tailored for hair health.
Regarding administration, the method is relatively painless, typically involving intravenous injections over a few minutes. While side effects are minimal, increased sun sensitivity and potential bruising at the injection site are among the few considerations.
As for the concepts mentioned in the article:
-
Glutathione Antioxidant: This molecule is an essential antioxidant found naturally in the body, known for its role in combating oxidative stress and supporting various bodily functions.
-
Role in Skin Rejuvenation: Glutathione aids in skin rejuvenation by addressing free radicals and tissue degeneration.
-
Hair Loss and Regrowth: It's suggested that glutathione extends the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, potentially reducing hair loss in individuals.
-
Chemical Reactions and Detoxification: Glutathione plays a crucial role in chemical reactions within the body and helps detoxify harmful chemicals, pollutants, and drugs.
-
Age-Related Decrease in Glutathione: As people age, their natural glutathione levels decrease, potentially impacting health and leading to conditions more common in older individuals.
-
Safety and FDA Approval: Glutathione is considered safe and falls under the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list by the USFDA as a food supplement rather than a drug.
-
Administration and Side Effects: Glutathione is administered through injections, relatively painless and quick. Side effects might include increased sun sensitivity and minor bruising at the injection site.
Understanding these concepts can help individuals make informed decisions about using glutathione for hair loss or as part of rejuvenation treatments.
