Before you start
- A qualified healthcare practitioner (nurse, licensed IV therapist, or doctor) should administer intravenously glutathione injectables.
- If you do not have access to a qualified healthcare practitioner, you may administer the product sublingually (see below).
- If you have any history of allergy or if you are a first-time user, we advise that you do a skin test first.
- Also, please refrain from using glutathione injectables if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or has an existing heart or kidney condition.
What you need
If you are outside the Philippines, most items below may not be present in your package because of airline/customs restrictions; you need to purchase them at your local pharmacy.
- your glutathione powder
- 10mL syringe (use 1 syringe per vial of glutathione powder; available at your local pharmacy if your package does not come with one)
- Butterfly I.V. set. Use a 23- or 25-gauge butterfly needle/catheter; you can buy at your local pharmacy if your package does not include one.
- 5 mL sterile water for injection - You can buy at your local pharmacy if your package does not come with one. If your pharmacy does not have this, you can use a Normal Saline Solution (NSS) with 0.9% saline concentration.
Do not use sterile water for irrigation.
Sterile water is optional for Glutax products.
- Optional but recommended: Vitamin C injectable. If you have no Vitamin C ampule, you may take a 500-1000mg Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) pill twice a day (morning and evening) for the entire course of your therapy.
How often should I administer glutathione IV
Administer twice a week for whitening. Then, after achieving the desired result, administer once every two weeks for maintenance.
How to administer glutathione IV
For Aqua Skin variants:
- Drink plenty of water at least 1-2 hours before administering.
- Mix contents of one vial glutathione powder with 5mL sterile water. If the product includes an additional ampule of nutrient boosters (e.g., Vitamin C), mix its contents as well.
- Administer via slow IV push over a 15 to 20 minute period.
For Glutax variants:
- Drink plenty of water at least 1-2 hours before administering.
- Mix contents of one vial, one small ampule, and one big ampule. Sterile water is optional.
- Administer via slow IV push over a 15 to 20 minute period.
How to administer intramuscularly
For IM administration, please use the same protocol as IV, substituting with gluteal (buttocks) intramuscular injection. However, we rarely recommend the intramuscular administration of glutathione because the area may swell up and become tender.
Instead of 5mL water, you can do 2cc of glutathione and 2cc sterile water. A licensed healthcare practitioner should perform glutathione injections. They will use the proper ratio of saline water to glutathione.
How to administer sublingually
- Prepare the solution the same way as for the injection above.
- Withdraw 1⁄4 of the solution and squirt it under the tongue. Keep for 5 minutes then swallow. Repeat morning and evening for two days in a row (one vial is good for 2 days).
- Repeat the process after a one-day break, until you have reached your desired skin tone.
- Refrigerate unused solution between doses.
Aftercare
- Any sort of injection can cause bruising. If you're prone to bruising, use a cold pack for 10 to 20 minutes to reduce swelling after receiving a glutathione shot.
- Once you remove the needle, you can likely get back to your daily activities, with no recovery time or medication.
- If you experience a slight headache or any pain, over-the-counter pain medications (such as acetaminophen or paracetamol) should help.

How much powder do you use?
Hello, for Aqua Skin variants, you can use 1-2 vials per session.
Hello! As for the sublingually, the procedure must be every two days then rest one day? Is it safe? Instead of injectable, can it be really taken by mouth? I hope you will enlighten me on this matter. Thank you.
