Glutathione therapy: sustained increase in the intracellular glutathione level

Glutathione therapy

A glutathione deficiency, regardless of how it has arisen, leads primarily to a general energy deficit. The symptoms are extreme tiredness, weakness and exhaustion. Typical diseases associated with it are

As a rule, these problems are based on an intracellular glutathione deficiency that leads to an impairment of energy metabolism.

Glutathion Strukturformel

Exhaustion therapy according to Dr. med. Gerhard Ohlenschläger®
Eumetabol® infusion therapy

This is where the classic exhaustion therapy according to Dr. med. Ohlenschläger comes in. It aims to rebuild the body's energy balance and to relieve side effects. The special feature of this therapy is the pharmaceutical active substance S-acetyl-glutathione (SAG), with which the intracellular glutathione level can be increased effectively and, above all, sustainably. Eumetabol® infusions are available as the optimal dosage form. Administered intravenously, SAG takes effect particularly quickly, while at the same time being practical and pleasant for patients to use.

The dosage is adjusted individually in each case so that the highest efficacy is achieved as cost-effectively as possible.

Eumetabol® glutathione therapy as accompanying therapy

An accompanying glutathione cell therapy with S-acetyl-glutathione (SAG) according to Dr. med. Gerhard Ohlenschläger® can also be useful in the following cases:

  • in immune deficiency
  • in infections, e.g. viral infections (also for prevention)
  • in COVID fatigue and other post-viral syndromes (chronic exhaustion and chronic multi-organ diseases)
  • in mitochondriopathies (e.g. metabolic syndrome)
  • in chronic inflammation (oxidative and nitrosative stress)
  • in diabetes mellitus
  • in candidiasis (fungal diseases)
  • in rheumatoid arthritis
  • in arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases
  • in other problems in which mitochondriopathies and/or oxidative stress play an important role, such as allergies and intolerances, fibromyalgia, cataracts, obesity, degenerative nerve diseases (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's dementia, etc.) and male fertility disorders

In addition, Eumetabol® offers general benefits for disease prevention, for maintaining vitality and thus for quality of life in general.

Why S-acetyl-glutathione?

S-acetyl-glutathione, as contained in Eumetabol®, is a pharmaceutically processed form of reduced glutathione. The active substance was developed by PD Dr. med. habil. Gerhard Ohlenschläger to make an effective glutathione therapy possible.

The background: with “normal” reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione values within the cells cannot be improved, because the glutathione oxidises too quickly when it is supplied from outside. It thus becomes inactive.

It makes no difference whether the GSH is given intravenously or orally. At 1.6 minutes, the half-life is simply too short to achieve a sustained effect in the body.

As early as the specialist publications of the 1980s and 1990s, “normal” reduced glutathione was described as of little use for carrying out a glutathione cell therapy.

Efficacy of Eumetabol® glutathione therapy measurable by laboratory medicine

The situation is different with the pharmaceutical active substance S-acetyl-glutathione in Eumetabol®. Clinical experience confirms its positive and sustained effect. The “father” of this special exhaustion therapy is the doctor and biochemist PD Dr. med. habil. Gerhard Ohlenschläger.

A further advantage of S-acetyl-glutathione in Eumetabol®: owing to the acetylation, the organism does not recognise that glutathione is being supplied to it from outside. The administration of Eumetabol® therefore does not impair the body's own glutathione production. The so-called endogenous biosynthesis is not disrupted, and a “feedback inhibition”, as occurs with other glutathione preparations, is prevented.

The long-term and significant increase in the intracellular glutathione level through Eumetabol® can be measured by laboratory medicine.

Laboratory note

The result: healthy energy metabolism, healthy immune system

Exhaustion therapy according to Dr. med. Ohlenschläger aims to rebalance the disturbed energy metabolism of the cells by means of S-acetyl-glutathione. Among other things, this can support the body's own production of ATP. ATP is one of the key substances of the energy balance and, as it were, the “energy battery” of our body.

In this way, the complaints in all types of fatigue and in burnout can be effectively relieved. The energy balance regenerates. Dysregulations of the immune system can be lastingly corrected, and the organism in general and the mitochondria in particular are once again optimally protected: an essential aspect also in the prevention and relief of other complaints such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.

What is essential here is that the therapy is individually tailored. To this end, precise laboratory values are obtained in order to determine the ideal formulations and dosages for each patient. The success of therapy is also monitored and documented in detail. The Viktoria Apotheke Saarbrücken will be pleased to assist you in finding a therapist.

  • Glutathione values too low?

    Due to a wide range of environmental influences, many people today have lowered glutathione levels. The consequences can be reduced performance, but also serious diseases.
