Glutathione Nasal Spray

Antioxidant biology. Provider guided.

Glutathione is your body’s master antioxidant, working inside your cells to help defend against everyday oxidative stress. Get it as a needle-free nasal spray, prescribed by a provider and shipped to your door.

What is Glutathione Nasal Spray?

Compounded glutathione nasal spray, prescribed following evaluation by a licensed provider and delivered to your door. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

How does Glutathione Nasal Spray treatment work?

Glutathione Nasal Spray is prescribed only after a licensed provider reviews a completed online health questionnaire. If appropriate, the prescription is sent to a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy, which prepares it and ships it to the door. Dose, schedule and directions are set by the provider and included with every order. Questions, refills and plan changes go through the patient portal. Used at home as a nasal spray.

What is Vivo?

Vivo is a telehealth platform for provider-prescribed longevity and wellness treatments. Licensed providers in an affiliated medical group review every intake, prescriptions are prepared by a licensed U.S. 503A pharmacy, and the care team is available through the patient portal for questions, refills and plan changes.

Prescription required. Subject to provider approval. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

One of the body's key antioxidant systems

Glutathione is a molecule your body makes from three amino acids. It has an important role in maintaining cellular redox balance and takes part in antioxidant defense and other cellular processes.

  • Antioxidant defense

    Glutathione takes part in reactions that help cells manage reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress.

  • Redox balance

    Glutathione cycles between a reduced and an oxidized form, and cells regenerate it, forming an ongoing redox cycle.

  • Cellular protection

    Glutathione takes part in reactions that help protect cellular components from oxidative damage.

  • Metabolic processes

    Enzymes such as glutathione peroxidases and glutathione S-transferases use glutathione in reactions throughout the body.

Made by your body. Used throughout it.

Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide made from three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine and glycine. Cells synthesize it themselves, and it is central to cellular antioxidant systems.

Glutathione takes part in reactions that neutralize reactive species. In the process it becomes oxidized glutathione, which cells then convert back, so glutathione works as part of an ongoing redox cycle.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Complete intake

    Complete a short online health questionnaire. No appointments, no waiting rooms. Takes just a few minutes.

Review is asynchronous by default. Some states require a synchronous visit, and a video visit may also be required if clinically indicated.

Entering payment information does not guarantee approval. Your payment method may be authorized at checkout, but is charged only after a provider approves the prescription. If treatment is not approved, no prescription is issued and no charge is captured.

Starting your prescription

Your prescription
Follow the dosing and administration instructions from your prescribing provider and the dispensing pharmacy.
Your routine
Use your medication exactly as prescribed. Don't change the amount or frequency without talking to your provider.
Your response
Individual experiences vary, and no particular effect should be expected on a set schedule.
Ongoing care
Contact your care team with treatment questions, side effects or concerns.

There isn't a clinically established timeframe in which compounded intranasal glutathione should be expected to produce a particular effect.

Questions, answered directly

What is glutathione?

Glutathione is a tripeptide your cells make from three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine and glycine. It is found throughout the body and is central to cellular antioxidant systems.

Why is glutathione called an antioxidant?

Because it takes part in reactions that neutralize reactive oxygen species. In doing so it becomes oxidized glutathione, which cells convert back, so it works as part of an ongoing redox cycle.

What is oxidative stress?

An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, which can disrupt normal redox signaling and lead to molecular damage. Glutathione is one of several antioxidant systems the body uses to keep that balance.

Does glutathione “detox” the body?

In the body's own biology, glutathione takes part in conjugation reactions, including in the liver, that change certain compounds into forms that can be eliminated. That is not the same as a treatment claim. Compounded glutathione nasal spray has not been shown to cleanse the body, remove unspecified toxins or treat toxicity, and Vivo does not claim it does.

Does glutathione improve skin tone?

Glutathione is often marketed for skin, but findings from other routes or formulations should not be applied to a nasal spray. Vivo does not represent its compounded glutathione nasal spray as a treatment for pigmentation, melasma, acne, wrinkles or any other skin condition. If a skin concern is your main goal, talk to your provider.

Will glutathione give me more energy?

Glutathione has important roles inside cells, but that biology doesn't establish that compounded intranasal glutathione changes how energetic you feel. That hasn't been shown. Fatigue has many causes, and your provider can help look at them.

Does glutathione support immune function?

Glutathione's roles in the body's own antioxidant and redox systems are well established. That is different from showing that taking compounded intranasal glutathione changes immune function, which has not been shown. Vivo makes no immune claim for this medication.

How is nasal glutathione different from injectable glutathione?

The route and the experience differ. The nasal spray is used at home without needles. Vivo's Glutathione Injection is also used at home as prescribed, but it requires needles and injection supplies. They are separate prescriptions, and your provider decides which, if either, is appropriate. Different routes should not be assumed to have equivalent absorption, bioavailability or effects.

Is nasal glutathione better absorbed?

Vivo doesn't claim it is. Different routes can produce different pharmacokinetic profiles, and there isn't formulation-specific evidence showing that this compounded nasal spray has superior absorption or bioavailability to injectable, IV or oral glutathione.

How quickly will I notice results?

There isn't a clinically established timeframe in which compounded intranasal glutathione should be expected to produce a particular wellness or appearance outcome. Individual experiences vary.

How do I use it?

Exactly as your prescription and the pharmacy's instructions direct. Don't change the amount or frequency without talking to your provider.

How should I store it?

Follow the storage instructions on your prescription label and from the dispensing pharmacy.

Is compounded glutathione FDA-approved?

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed.

Do I need a prescription? How does that work?

Yes. Every Vivo protocol is prescription-only. When you complete your intake, a licensed US provider in your state reviews your medical history and, if appropriate, writes the prescription. The compounded medication is then shipped directly to your door.

What happens if I'm not approved?

No prescription is issued, and you are not charged for medication. Entering payment information at checkout authorizes your payment method — it does not capture a charge. A charge is captured only after a provider approves the prescription.

Important information about compounded medications

Vivo is a telehealth platform and does not manufacture or compound medications. Treatment requires evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider. A prescription is issued only when the provider determines treatment is medically appropriate.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed. Compounded medications may be prescribed when a healthcare provider determines that a compounded preparation is appropriate for an individual patient.

Information on this page is educational and does not replace individualized medical advice. Treatment availability, formulation and fulfillment may vary based on provider judgment and pharmacy availability.

Safety information

Standard safety information for a compounded prescription medication. Your prescribing provider and the dispensing pharmacy are the authority on your specific prescription — this does not replace either.

This is a compounded medication

This is a compounded medication prepared by a licensed pharmacy for an individual prescription. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved drug products.

FDA does not review compounded preparations for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality before they are dispensed. We state this plainly because you should know it before you decide.

Prescription only

This medication may be used only by the person for whom it was prescribed, exactly as directed by the prescribing provider. Do not share it, and do not use a prescription written for someone else.

Before your visit, tell your provider about

  • All medical conditions you have or have had
  • Every medication and supplement you take
  • Any allergies
  • Whether you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding

Possible side effects

The side effects associated with your prescription are reviewed with you by your prescribing provider, and the dispensing pharmacy supplies the labeling that accompanies your medication. Ask your provider before you start, and contact them if you notice anything unexpected after you do.

Do not use if

Whether this medication is appropriate for you is a clinical determination your provider makes from your history, your current medications, and your circumstances — which is why the visit exists. Tell your provider everything listed above before a prescription is issued, and do not use a medication prescribed for someone else.

Storage and beyond-use date

Refrigerate on arrival. Keep the bottle closed and upright. Do not use past the beyond-use date printed on the pharmacy label.

Reporting a problem

Questions about your medication go to your prescribing provider or the dispensing pharmacy. Report a suspected adverse reaction to your provider. You may also report it to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.
