Glutathione therapy: diverse areas of application

Effects of S-acetyl-glutathione (SAG)

Glutathione has an antioxidant effect, secures the supply of energy, supports the immune system and protects the organism against toxins. Last but not least, glutathione is crucial for controlling vital cellular processes, for example DNA repair. For these reasons, almost all cells in the body contain glutathione, and it is also found outside the cells, for example in blood plasma, body fluids and tissues.

As diverse as the tasks of glutathione are, so wide-ranging are the possible applications of S-acetyl-glutathione (SAG) according to Dr. med. Gerhard Ohlenschläger®, because this proven compounded medicine (Rezepturarzneimittel) makes it possible to raise the intracellular glutathione level effectively and sustainably.

Eumetabol® with the pharmaceutical active ingredient SAG according to Dr. med. Gerhard Ohlenschläger® is the therapy of choice wherever healthy intracellular glutathione values are important.

Use in exhaustion therapy

One focus of Eumetabol® use is exhaustion therapy: it has been used successfully for over 30 years as a compounded medicine against the most varied types of fatigue. It acts against the agonising weakness and lack of drive via several different pathways at once.

Specific areas of application are:

Eumetabol® brings about a sustained improvement in energy levels and thus alleviates states of exhaustion of the most varied kinds.

Glutathione cell therapy for viral infections

Another important area of application of glutathione cell therapy is viral infections. Studies demonstrate multi-layered antiviral and immunomodulatory effects of intracellular glutathione therapy. Secondary damage from viral infections, such as post-viral syndrome (e.g. Long COVID), can also be mitigated or entirely prevented by glutathione therapy.

The areas of application include:

Eumetabol® can prevent viral infections, mitigate acute infections and prevent or alleviate late consequences.

Further areas of use for glutathione

Eumetabol® is also used for all other clinical pictures associated with a glutathione deficiency and increased oxidative stress. Proven applications include, for example:

  • Mitochondriopathies (malfunctions of or damage to the mitochondria, the “power stations” of the cells)
  • Chronic inflammatory reactions
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Allergies and intolerances
  • Degenerative nerve diseases
  • Health care and prevention
  • And much more

    The tasks that glutathione performs in the body are very diverse. Equally wide-ranging are the areas of application of Eumetabol®, with which the intracellular glutathione level can be raised effectively.

    Areas of application
  • Glutathione and the immune system

    Glutathione plays an essential part in ensuring that our immune system works effectively and in a balanced way. S-acetyl-glutathione (Eumetabol®) in particular appears in studies as a promising therapeutic approach.

    Immune regulation
  • Eumetabol® for viral infections

    Viruses multiply in host cells, i.e. intracellularly. That is exactly where the treatment of viral infections must also take effect. SAG according to Dr. med. Gerhard Ohlenschläger® offers optimal conditions for this.

    Antiviral effect

  • Viral late effects

    Long-term consequences have been documented for many viral diseases, including those caused by influenza viruses or coronaviruses (Long COVID). A wide variety of complaints can severely impair those affected.

    Preventing long-term damage
  • Cancer-related tiredness

    Severe exhaustion often occurs in the course of a tumour disease. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can also cause weakness as a side effect.

    Development and help
  • Chronic fatigue

    Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a distinct clinical entity. The severity of the disease is often underestimated even by therapists.

    Causes and treatment options

More on this topic

  • Fatigue after viral infections

    The term COVID fatigue describes a state of extreme tiredness and lack of strength that occurs as a consequence of a coronavirus infection. Other viruses also cause exhaustion. Proven fatigue therapies can help.

    What can be done?
  • Burnout syndrome

    The signs of burnout can vary from person to person. The leading symptom is emotional exhaustion. The glutathione system is involved in its development.

    Connections
  • Glutathione and fatigue

    The glutathione system (more precisely, a glutathione deficiency) and exhaustion-related diseases are closely linked, because the body's own glutathione is crucial for energy production.
