Glutathione IV Drips: Myths vs Benefits Explained by Experts in Mumbai

Glutathione has become one of the most talked-about ingredients in skincare and wellness. From glowing skin to improved immunity, Glutathione IV drips are now popular across the world — including in Mumbai.

But with popularity comes confusion. At The Éterne Clinic, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, we often hear questions like: “Is Glutathione safe?”, “Will it make me fair instantly?”, or “Are IV drips better than oral supplements?”

Here’s what you really need to know.

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally present in our cells. It plays a key role in:

• Detoxifying the liver
• Fighting oxidative stress (which causes aging)
• Supporting the immune system
• Repairing skin and tissue damage

However, stress, pollution, alcohol, poor sleep, and aging can lower glutathione levels — leaving skin dull and the body vulnerable.

Benefits of Glutathione IV Drips

At The Éterne Clinic, we use clinically formulated Glutathione IV drips under medical supervision. Benefits include:

• Brighter, radiant skin (by reducing oxidative stress and pigmentation)
• Improved hydration and glow when combined with vitamin boosters
• Enhanced immunity and better ability to fight infections
• Detoxification support for the liver and body
• Anti-aging effects by protecting collagen and reducing free radical damage
• Energy and recovery support for those with fatigue or high-stress lifestyles

Myths Around Glutathione IV Drips

• Myth 1: Glutathione makes you “instantly fair”
  Truth: Glutathione helps reduce oxidative stress and pigmentation gradually. Results vary depending on genetics, lifestyle, and sun exposure. It is about radiance and even skin tone, not artificial whitening.
• Myth 2: IV drips are unsafe
  Truth: When done under professional supervision with proper sterile protocols, Glutathione IV drips are safe and well-tolerated. At The Éterne Clinic, they are administered only by trained doctors.
• Myth 3: Oral Glutathione works the same as IV
  Truth: Oral supplements are broken down in digestion, making absorption less effective. IV drips deliver glutathione directly into the bloodstream for faster, stronger results.
• Myth 4: Results are permanent
  Truth: Like any wellness treatment, results need maintenance and depend on diet, sun care, and ongoing health.

Who Can Benefit from Glutathione IV Therapy?

• Men & women with dull, tired-looking skin
• People exposed to pollution, stress, and late nights
• Those seeking detox and liver support
• Patients preparing for festive events, weddings, or photoshoots
• Professionals seeking a quick energy and glow boost

Dr. Ajara Sayyad, Medical Director at The Éterne Clinic, explains:

“We never promote Glutathione as an ‘instant whitening’ solution. Instead, we focus on its scientifically proven benefits for skin health, immunity, and anti-aging. At The Éterne Clinic, all IV therapies are customised, monitored, and medically supervised for your safety.”
