The quick answer

What is glutathione IV therapy?

Glutathione is a small protein your cells use as their primary antioxidant, the one that neutralizes free radicals and supports the liver’s detox pathways. Levels fall with age, alcohol, illness, and environmental load. An IV restores it directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gut, where an oral supplement is largely broken down before it can be absorbed. At TrufaMED, every glutathione IV is physician-supervised and given in a Joint Commission-accredited clinic in Surfside, or by mobile visit across South Florida.

What it supports

Why patients choose a glutathione IV

Glutathione sits at the center of how cells defend and repair themselves. Replenishing it supports several systems at once, which is why it is used both on its own and as a finishing push on other drips.

Oxidative-stress support

As the body’s main antioxidant, glutathione neutralizes free radicals generated by stress, illness, and everyday metabolism. Restoring it is the core reason people seek it out.

Liver and detox pathways

Glutathione is central to phase II liver detoxification, helping the liver bind and clear metabolic byproducts. It is often chosen after a period of heavy alcohol or environmental load.

Skin clarity and brightness

By inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, glutathione can shift pigmentation lighter over a course of sessions. This is a cosmetic effect, not a medical cure, and results vary from person to person.

Immune function support

Glutathione supports the function of the immune cells that depend on a balanced redox state. Patients use it alongside our Immune Boost drip during cold and flu season.

Recovery support

People reaching for glutathione after travel, late nights, or a heavy training block use it as part of a broader recovery plan, often paired with hydration.

A finishing push on any drip

The 1g push is frequently added to the end of a Myers’ Cocktail, Hangover Recovery, or Immune Boost session, a clean way to top off any drip with antioxidant support.

The science on IV glutathione is still developing, and the strongest evidence is for its antioxidant and detox roles. We present what the current evidence supports and are explicit about where it remains preliminary, especially for cosmetic outcomes.

Honest expectations

What a glutathione IV is not

TrufaMED practices medicine, so we tell patients what the evidence does and does not support. Here is what our physicians will say to you directly.

A glutathione IV is not a cure for any disease. It supports cellular function; it does not treat, diagnose, or reverse a diagnosed condition on its own. Skin brightening is a cosmetic effect, not an FDA-approved therapeutic outcome, and it is not a guaranteed result. Individual pigmentation, genetics, baseline oxidative status, and the number of sessions all shape how a person responds.

It is also not a drug requiring FDA approval, because glutathione is a molecule the body already makes. We use pharmaceutical-grade glutathione from licensed compounding pharmacies. Patients with active or unstable asthma should tell us before treatment, since caution is warranted. None of this means the therapy lacks value. It means you deserve an accurate picture, set by a physician, before your first session rather than a sales pitch.

The protocol

Two formats, one clinical rationale

Our medical team designed two core formats, each with a clear purpose. Vitamin C is included in the infusion because ascorbic acid regenerates oxidized glutathione back to its active reduced form, extending how long it works inside your cells.

FormatDoseHow it runsVisit timeBest for
Glutathione Push1,000 mg (1g)Slow IV push by syringe into a saline lock, over 10 to 15 minutesAbout 30 minutesMaintenance, aesthetic support, first-time patients, and as an add-on to another IV drip. Optional 500 mg Vitamin C add-on.
Glutathione Infusion2,000 mg (2g)Diluted in 250 mL of normal saline, infused over 30 to 45 minutes, with 1,000 mg IV Vitamin C45 to 60 minutesLiver support, post-alcohol recovery, deeper detox, the skin-brightening protocol, and immune support. Complimentary red light therapy in-clinic.

Both formats are physician-supervised from intake to discharge. Your clinician helps you pick the right one at check-in based on your goals and history.

Candidacy

Who benefits most, and who should check in first

Glutathione IV suits a range of goals, from antioxidant maintenance to a brightening course. A short physician intake helps confirm it is right for you before your first session.

Strong candidates

  • Adults over 40 whose natural glutathione production has declined with age
  • Urban residents managing the oxidative load of pollution, traffic, and a demanding pace
  • Patients focused on skin clarity who want a brightening course rather than a single visit
  • People in alcohol recovery looking for liver and detox support, directed by a physician
  • Anyone building immune support during cold and flu season, often paired with Immune Boost

Talk to a physician first

  • Anyone with active or unstable asthma, who should disclose it before treatment
  • Patients expecting a cure for a diagnosed condition rather than supportive therapy
  • Anyone hoping for guaranteed cosmetic whitening, which we do not promise
  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, pending a physician assessment
  • Anyone a physician evaluates as not yet a candidate at intake

We administer glutathione IV to adults 18 and older, with a physician assessment for every first-time patient. You do not need to be a concierge member; glutathione IV is open to any patient.

Your session

What to expect, start to finish

Physician check-in

A board-certified physician reviews your history and goals and approves the protocol. Every IV at TrufaMED is physician-ordered, including a glutathione push added to another drip.

Protocol selection

Your clinician helps you choose between the 1g push and the 2g infusion based on your goal, whether that is maintenance, detox, brightening, or immune support.

IV administration

A registered nurse places the line and delivers the push over 10 to 15 minutes, or runs the infusion over 30 to 45 minutes, monitoring you throughout. In-clinic infusions include red light therapy.

Post-session assessment

Vitals are rechecked and your nurse confirms you feel well before you leave. Most patients return to their day right away, and brightening goals build over a course of sessions.

Your physicians

A physician supervises every session

Because glutathione has real infusion effects and a few cautions, physician oversight is built in. Every order is reviewed by a board-certified physician on shift, and a registered nurse administers and monitors the drip.

Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Uri Gedalia, MD, FACS
Board-Certified General Surgeon

Dr. Gedalia built TrufaMED around physician-led protocols, Joint Commission accreditation, and a standard of care usually reserved for hospital systems. He oversees the IV therapy program and approves the formulary, including the glutathione protocols.

Medical Director
Dr. Shane D. Naidoo, MD
Board-Certified Emergency Medicine

Dr. Naidoo directs clinical operations and reviews IV cases, screening for the cautions that matter with glutathione, such as a history of asthma. His emergency background brings calm, careful judgment to every order.

A board-certified physician leads every shift, seven days a week. This physician-first approach is why TrufaMED carries Joint Commission accreditation, a distinction held by only eight urgent care centers nationwide. Our lab operates under CLIA #10D2326945.

Glutathione IV, answered

What patients across Miami ask most before their first glutathione session.

Why is an IV better than oral glutathione?

Glutathione is a small protein the body uses as its main antioxidant. Taken as a pill, most of it is broken down by digestive enzymes before it reaches your blood, so oral absorption is estimated at only 5 to 15 percent. An IV bypasses digestion entirely and delivers glutathione straight into circulation, reaching plasma levels many times higher than a supplement can. That is the whole reason to do this by IV rather than by capsule.

Is glutathione IV therapy FDA-approved?

Glutathione is a molecule your body already makes, not a drug that carries an FDA approval. The skin-brightening use specifically is not an FDA-approved therapeutic indication; it is a cosmetic effect that follows from glutathione’s known action on the enzyme tyrosinase. We are direct about that. TrufaMED uses pharmaceutical-grade glutathione from licensed compounding pharmacies, administered under physician supervision.

Does glutathione IV brighten or whiten skin?

Glutathione inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme that drives melanin production, which can shift pigmentation lighter over a course of sessions. This is a cosmetic outcome, not an FDA-approved whitening treatment, and results vary with your baseline skin tone, genetics, and how consistently you come in. Our physicians will give you honest expectations rather than a guarantee.

How many sessions will I need to see results?

It depends on your goal. For immune support and oxidative-stress reduction, many patients notice a difference after two to four sessions. For visible skin brightening, the dermatology literature points to consistent sessions spaced one to two weeks apart over roughly 8 to 12 weeks for the clearest aesthetic effect. Individual response varies, which is why we offer a discounted series of six.

Is glutathione IV safe, and are there side effects?

IV glutathione given by a licensed clinician at appropriate doses has a well-established safety profile. The most common effects are mild and pass quickly: brief flushing, a short garlic-like taste or smell during the push, and occasional mild lightheadedness. Patients with active, unstable asthma should tell us before treatment. Every first-time patient is assessed by a physician before a line is started.

Can glutathione be added to another IV drip?

Yes, and that is one of the most popular ways to use it. The glutathione push is often added as a finishing push after a primary drip is complete. Common pairings are the Myers’ Cocktail, Immune Boost, and Hangover Recovery drips. Your physician advises on the right combination for your goals, since we do not stack additives without an order.

Why is Vitamin C included in the infusion?

Vitamin C and glutathione work together. Ascorbic acid regenerates oxidized glutathione back into its active reduced form, which extends how long it stays effective inside your cells. That is why our 2g Glutathione Infusion includes 1,000 mg of IV Vitamin C as standard, and why we offer an optional Vitamin C add-on with the 1g push.

Can I get a glutathione IV at my home or hotel in Miami?

Yes. Our mobile IV team delivers across the Miami and Miami Beach area, including private residences, hotel rooms, and offices. Mobile glutathione sessions are available the same as in-clinic, with the same physician oversight before dispatch. Call our team for mobile session pricing and current availability across South Florida.

How long does a glutathione IV take?

The 1g push is a short visit, roughly 30 minutes door to door, with the glutathione delivered slowly over 10 to 15 minutes through a saline lock. The 2g infusion is diluted in 250 mL of saline and runs over 30 to 45 minutes, for a 45 to 60 minute visit. In-clinic infusions include complimentary red light therapy alongside the drip.

Is glutathione IV covered by insurance?

Glutathione IV for wellness or aesthetic purposes is a self-pay service and is not covered by commercial health insurance. We accept all major credit cards, HSA and FSA, and Apple Pay, and provide receipts on request. IV membership holders receive discounted session pricing. Call (305) 537-6396 with any billing questions.
