Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains why IV glutathione is trending for skin brightening and liver detox, but warns the evidence is thin and it may damage your kidneys long-term. Eating antioxidant-rich foods like spinach is safer.
IV glutathione. It has been trending in the Far East. I've seen it in New York City. Is everything new, great? I will argue that everything great was once new. But not everything new is great. Follow me. It's an antioxidant that gets infused into your veins, so into your system. It's supposedly going to have some skin brightening effects, can help detoxify your liver. But some may argue that your liver is going to detoxify itself and it can have potentially some benefits with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's. And when you are in that path and you're really kind of, you know, I understand why you want to try anything and try this, but if you're doing it for vanity, I will say that the risks are, and I said that weird, but the risks are there's not enough evidence to support it. And the long term risks may far outweigh any sort of benefit. The biggest risk being it can up your kidneys and that is just not good. So if you're trying to get a lot of antioxidants into your system, just eat a lot of spinach.
