How Glutathione May Help with Fatigue, Brain Health & Inflammation
If you struggle with chronic fatigue, brain fog, or inflammation, you’ve likely heard of antioxidants. But one antioxidant stands out above the rest—glutathione, often called the “master antioxidant.” Glutathione protects cells from oxidative damage, reduces inflammation, and supports both brain and immune health.
At Elevation Hydration in Colorado Springs and Lone Tree, we provide IV glutathione therapy to help clients strengthen their defenses and restore balance. Here’s how glutathione may play a role in supporting five major health challenges.
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
Research shows people with CFS often have low glutathione levels in the brain and elevated oxidative stress. In one clinical study, supplementing with N-acetylcysteine (NAC)—a glutathione precursor—boosted brain glutathione within 4 weeks and reduced fatigue symptoms.
Potential Benefits of Glutathione for CFS:
- Reduces fatigue and boosts cellular energy
- Improves mitochondrial function
- Supports brain balance and focus

- Chronic Inflammation
Inflammation is a root cause of many chronic conditions, including joint pain, cardiovascular issues, and autoimmune conditions. Glutathione helps regulate inflammatory responses by neutralizing free radicals and balancing immune activity.
Studies link low glutathione levels to higher inflammation markers, suggesting therapy could help reduce flare-ups and improve long-term wellness. PubMed
- Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Parkinson’s involves the breakdown of dopamine-producing neurons, often tied to depleted glutathione in the brain. Some studies suggest that glutathione supplementation may improve motor function and slow progression.
For example, intranasal glutathione has shown improvements in brain glutathione levels and mild symptom relief in early trials. Nature+1
- Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is strongly linked to oxidative stress and low glutathione in brain tissue. Research indicates that maintaining glutathione levels may help:
- Protect neurons from damage
- Reduce oxidative stress in brain cells
- Support memory and cognitive function
While human trials are limited, glutathione is being studied as a neuroprotective therapy for those at risk of cognitive decline. PubMed
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
MS is an autoimmune condition where oxidative stress contributes to damage of the myelin sheath surrounding nerves. Studies have found glutathione depletion in MS patients, suggesting that restoring glutathione may:
- Reduce neuronal damage
- Support immune balance
- Aid in recovery from flare-ups
How to Increase Glutathione Levels
Because oral glutathione is poorly absorbed, the most effective ways to raise levels include:
- IV Glutathione Therapy – Fast, direct absorption into the bloodstream
- NAC Supplementation – Helps the body naturally produce more glutathione
- Lifestyle Support – Nutrition, sleep, stress management, and additional antioxidants
