What is glutathione and what does a glutathione IV do?

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced in your cells, often called the body's master antioxidant because it helps neutralize free radicals and supports the body's natural detox pathways. Levels can dip with age, stress, and lifestyle factors. A glutathione IV or shot delivers it directly into the bloodstream, which many people prefer over oral forms that are broken down during digestion. Clients use it to support antioxidant defense, healthy skin, and overall wellness. Drip Refresh frames glutathione as wellness support: it may help you feel and look refreshed, but it isn't intended to cure, treat, or prevent any disease.

What are the benefits of glutathione IV therapy?

People choose glutathione infusions and shots to support a brighter, more even-looking complexion, antioxidant protection, and the body's natural detoxification. Because it helps counter oxidative stress, it's popular as part of a skin-wellness and general-wellness routine. Many clients add it to a hydration drip or Myers' Cocktail for an extra antioxidant boost, while others book a quick standalone shot. Athletes and busy professionals sometimes use it to support recovery and overall well-being. These are wellness goals rather than medical claims, and individual results vary. Drip Refresh's nurses can help you decide between a full IV and a convenient shot.

How is glutathione given, IV drip or shot?

Drip Refresh offers glutathione two ways. As an IV add-on, it's combined with hydrating fluids and other nutrients and infused over about 30-60 minutes, ideal if you want a fuller session. As a quick shot, it's a fast single injection that takes just minutes, perfect when you want antioxidant support without a full drip. Both are administered by an experienced registered nurse at your home, hotel, or office after a brief health check. Many clients pair a glutathione shot with another drip. Your nurse can recommend the format that best fits your goals, schedule, and budget.

How much does glutathione cost?

Pricing depends on the format. A standalone glutathione shot typically runs $20-$150, making it an affordable, fast add-on. When glutathione is included in or added to a full IV drip, the cost falls within the standard $100-$400 drip range depending on the base formula and other add-ons. Drip Refresh quotes pricing upfront with no insurance or clinic visit involved. Because rates vary across the 170+ cities served, contact the team for an exact quote in your city. Pairing a glutathione shot with a hydration drip is a popular, cost-effective way to combine antioxidant and hydration support.

Is glutathione IV therapy safe and who should consult a doctor?

Glutathione is administered by experienced registered nurses using sterile technique after a brief health check, and it's generally well tolerated. As a wellness service, it's not intended to treat any medical condition. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medications, or managing a health condition should consult their own physician before booking. If you have allergies or sensitivities, let your nurse know in advance. For most healthy adults seeking antioxidant, skin, and detox support, a nurse-administered glutathione IV or shot at home is a comfortable, convenient option. Drip Refresh's team can help you choose the right approach.
