Injectable glutathione from Empower Pharmacy anyone?

[Fernando Almaguer]

Hello anyone have any success with Empower pharmacy's injectable glutothione or Lipo-c (methionine/inositol/carnitine ) injections? They recommend 1 cc per week but I wonder what an efficacious dose is. I imagine it could be different depending on individual levels and visceral/sub-q fat.

There is unresolved controversy over how effectively oral glutathione increases the circulating levels.

A study from 2011 claims it doesn't.

Another study from 2015 using the brand Setria Glutathione claims it does. I've used exactly the Setria brand and find that it suppresses inflammatory reactions to eating sugar, but that does not prove it is absorbed in blood circulation - the effects may occur in the intestines before it is digested.

In any case, oral glutathione is absorbed through the oral mucosa at 55% if you hold it 10 minutes in mouth:

Nice information on holding it in the mouth. Less expensive I imagine. I was asking about injectable version. IM
