Experts Warn Against IV Glutathione for Liver Repair and Skin Lightening Claims
Glutathione IV drips are promoted for liver detoxification after heavy drinking and for skin lightening, but medical experts caution against these claims. Doctors emphasize that the liver naturally manages antioxidants and that intravenous glutathione does not repair alcohol-related damage. Additionally, evidence supporting skin lightening effects is limited, and safety concerns exist, including adverse reactions and unregulated product quality. Health professionals warn about the risks of such treatments, especially when administered without proper medical oversight.
