In the world of IV wellness therapy, few nutrients have created as much buzz as glutathione—often called the “master antioxidant.” From skin brightening to liver support, this naturally occurring molecule is earning its place in both medical and cosmetic circles. If you’ve been considering IV glutathione pushes, you might be wondering what the difference is between 1000 mg and 2000 mg doses, and which one is right for you.
Let’s break it down.
💡 What Is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant made in the body from three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. It plays a crucial role in:
- Neutralizing free radicals (which cause oxidative stress)
- Supporting liver detoxification
- Strengthening the immune system
- Promoting even skin tone and bright complexion
- Enhancing cellular repair and recovery
Unfortunately, stress, poor diet, pollution, aging, and illness can deplete glutathione levels—leaving the body more vulnerable to disease and slower to heal.
That’s where IV therapy comes in.
💉 Why IV Push?
IVP (Intravenous Push) glutathione delivers the nutrient directly into your bloodstream—bypassing the digestive system where oral supplements often lose potency. It typically takes only 5–15 minutes and ensures nearly 100% bioavailability.
That means faster results and more efficient support for your body.
🌿 1000 mg vs 2000 mg: What’s the Difference?
✅ Glutathione 1000 mg IVP
This is a moderate, beginner-friendly dose. Ideal for:
- First-time users
- General detox and antioxidant support
- Post-illness recovery
- Monthly maintenance
- Clients with sensitive systems or low body weight
You may notice:
- A subtle glow to your skin
- Increased energy
- Mild immune boost
- Enhanced mental clarity
💎 Glutathione 2000 mg IVP
This higher dose is often preferred for:
- Deeper detox (especially after alcohol, medications, or environmental exposure)
- Skin brightening and pigmentation support
- Intensive antioxidant therapy
- Active individuals or frequent flyers
- Clients doing weekly IV therapy or skin protocols
You may experience:
- More noticeable skin luminosity over time
- Improved recovery post-exercise or stress
- Greater support for chronic inflammation or oxidative stress
✨ What to Expect
The procedure is quick—usually 10 minutes or less—and administered by a trained nurse or provider. Some people feel energized after, while others feel calm and centered. You may experience a sulfur-like smell or taste temporarily, which is normal and fades quickly.
It’s recommended to hydrate before and after your session to support your liver and kidneys in the detox process.
🙋♀️ Which Dose Is Right for Me?
Choosing between 1000 mg and 2000 mg IVP depends on your goals, health history, and how your body responds. Some clients start with 1000 mg to see how they feel, then move up to 2000 mg for more enhanced benefits.
Pro Tip: Many clients pair glutathione with a Myers Cocktail or Vitamin C IV drip for synergistic effects.
⚠️ Safety First
Glutathione is generally well-tolerated, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, undergoing chemotherapy, or have chronic health issues, check with your healthcare provider before starting any IV therapy.
🌈 The Bottom Line
Whether you’re seeking to brighten your skin, recover faster, or simply feel your best, glutathione IV pushes offer a fast, efficient way to replenish your body’s natural defense system. Whether you choose the 1000 mg or 2000 mg dose, you’re investing in the most powerful antioxidant your body already knows how to use.
Glow from the inside out—your cells will thank you.
