Glutathione Injections: What to Expect
Glutathione is one of the more established names in antioxidant-focused wellness, but if you’ve never had an injection before, it helps to know what actually happens. Here’s a plain-language walkthrough.
What glutathione is
Glutathione is an antioxidant naturally produced by the body, involved in supporting the body’s own defense against cellular stress. As a longevity therapy, it’s typically offered alongside NAD+ as part of a broader wellness routine. Like NAD+, glutathione is a wellness offering - it has not been evaluated by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Before your first injection
A licensed provider reviews your health history and current medications before your first session, the same evaluation process used for any Renlo treatment. This is a quick step designed to flag anything that might make a therapy inappropriate for you.
What happens during the injection
Glutathione is typically given as a quick intramuscular or subcutaneous injection - the session itself usually takes just a few minutes. Many people schedule it alongside an NAD+ session as part of the same visit.
What to expect afterward
The most commonly reported effect is mild redness, swelling, or discomfort at the injection site, which typically resolves on its own. As with any wellness therapy, individual experiences vary, and your care team can help you understand what’s typical based on your plan.
Getting started with Renlo
Renlo’s glutathione therapy is $129/month ($99/month on the 3-month plan), including your provider consultation and ongoing care team support. See glutathione pricing, or explore the full longevity treatment lineup.
