My New Secret Weapon: Glutathione Spray for Health, Skin & Hangovers

auro wellness glutaryl transdermal glutathione

Wellness trends with no substance are a special kind of torture—yet I’m convinced many folks are just one viral TikTok video away from thinking they’ve found the next miracle cure. Call me old-fashioned, but I like my wellness backed by actual science, not social media hype. And here’s something that is science-backed: glutathione. Your body makes this powerful antioxidant naturally, but as you age, production slows down. (Lucky us, right?) But glutathione does wonders for our health—especially when it comes to balancing oxidative stress and flushing out toxins in your liver (yes, that liver again. The one we always blame for melasma…more on that later).

Now, you’ve probably heard of a few ways to take glutathione: intravenous drips, patches (which doesn’t absorb well in the body), and a variety of other options. But let me introduce you to something much easier and more effective: Glutaryl Antioxidant Glutathione Spray from Auro Wellness. Developed by Dr. Nayan Patel, one of the most respected compounders in the country, this spray is as potent as it gets. You simply spritz it on twice a day, morning and night, and the highly absorbent formula gets to work. A few things to note: yes, it has a sulfuric scent (don’t freak out, it fades in about 30 seconds), and the best place to apply it is on an area with little to no hair, like your stomach. This ensures maximum absorption).

What’s in it for you? For starters, if you’re dealing with melasma or dark spots, this spray will help detoxify your liver, which in turn can improve your skin. Oh, and for those times when you overdid it at happy hour, this spray is a game-changer for hangovers. A quick four spritzes after a night of drinking helps flush the alcohol toxins out of your body faster and more efficiently than that greasy diner breakfast you swear will save you. The next time you’re tempted to follow the latest TikTok trend, remember there’s real science behind this, and it works. To shop the product and learn more, click here.

My Morning Beauty Staple? A Probiotic Drink

Explore why nourishing your gut with probiotics like Symprove is essential. Beyond fads like celery juice, probiotics enhance gut health, boost energy, and fortify immunity. With 20 years of experience, I've found Symprove to be the best for maintaining vitality and reducing bloating.

 
 
 

I’ve spent 20 years trying scores of brands, and I’ve found nothing better than Symprove. This product is better than anything else available and comparable.

 
 
 

To those who got so into the celery juice, kale chips, and acai bowl crazes: I urge you to take a step back and recognize the importance of simply nourishing your gut microbiome with probiotics. Focus on strengthening our stomach health without getting swept up in fads! Today, in the year of 2024, there are a billion-plus reasons why you should take a probiotic every morning. Aside from gut health serving a paramount function for your well-being, probiotics help increase your energy levels, fortify immune function and (for the sake of our vanity) they address bloating concerns by harmonizing the gut flora. I’ve spent 20 years trying scores of brands, and I’ve found nothing better than Symprove. This product is better than anything else available and comparable. First, it’s a water-based probiotic solution, so it passes through the stomach into the lower gut without compromising any of the powerful bacteria. Symprove’s strains also produce lactate, which feeds the good bacteria in your stomach. And arguably most important: the evidence is clear in how I look and feel. When I stick to my regular diet and exercise routine, but don’t use Symprove and instead try other probiotics, I notice a decline in my energy levels, skin condition, and I experience more bloating. The proof is in the pudding. And this is a staple in my morning routine that I will never forego.
