Limitations And Risks Of IV Glutathione Despite its popularity, IV therapy has important trade-offs: Inconvenience and time - requires clinic visits, an IV line, and staff Cost - regular infusions can become expensive as a long-term strategy Needle and infection risk - any IV access carries a small risk of infection, bruising, or vein irritation Short-lived peaks - blood glutathione levels often spike and then fall relatively quickly after infusion Targeting limits - IV therapy raises systemic levels but does not specifically direct glutathione to the sinuses or brain Side effects are usually mild (flushing, lightheadedness, nausea), but rare allergic reactions or breathing changes can occur
