Introduction
Detoxification is a natural and continuous process that the body carries out through the liver, kidneys, intestines, skin, and lungs. In today’s society, we are exposed to an increasing burden from environmental toxins, heavy metals, pesticides, air pollution, pharmaceutical residues, plastic chemicals, and microplastics. Although the body has its own systems for handling this, the amount and complexity of modern pollution can exceed the capacity of the body’s natural detoxification system. This may lead to toxins accumulating in tissues, and many people experience symptoms of overload. Supporting the body’s detoxification is not about doing something unnatural, but about helping the body carry out its natural processes more effectively.
The role of glutathione in the body
Glutathione (GSH) is the body’s most important intracellular antioxidant. It consists of three amino acids – glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine – and is found in high concentrations in almost all cells. Glutathione has many important roles: it neutralizes free radicals, participates in the regeneration of vitamins C and E, is crucial in the liver’s phase II detoxification, protects DNA, mitochondria, and cell membranes from damage, and regulates the immune system. When glutathione binds toxins via glutathione-S-transferases, they can be safely transported out of the body through bile or urine. Without sufficient glutathione, the body may have difficulty eliminating environmental toxins, heavy metals, and oxidative byproducts.
Why Glutaryl
Traditional oral glutathione has low bioavailability because it is rapidly broken down in the intestines. Liposomal formulations improve absorption, but depend on digestion. Intravenous administration provides a rapid effect, but requires medical supervision and is invasive. Glutaryl (Auro GSH™ transdermal spray) is an innovative alternative that makes it possible to deliver glutathione directly through the skin. This bypasses digestion and provides steady delivery with high bioavailability. One spray corresponds to approx. 100 mg of reduced glutathione. Due to the rapid and effective absorption, it is necessary to start with a low dose and gradually increase it to avoid the body mobilizing more toxins than it can eliminate in time.
Why gradual escalation
When glutathione levels are increased rapidly, the liver and kidneys may begin mobilizing toxins at a rate that exceeds binding and elimination. This can cause temporary reactions such as dizziness, headache, stomach upset, or fatigue. Clinical studies on glutathione supplementation and experience from detox clinics show that gradual increase provides better tolerance. The principle “start low, go slow” is therefore both scientifically and clinically grounded. By starting with one spray every other day and gradually increasing to two sprays daily after 5–8 weeks, the body is given time to adapt and discomfort is avoided.
🌍 Holistic detoxification protocol
🟢 Step 1: Preparation (1–2 weeks)
The goal is to build a foundation so that the body tolerates increased detoxification.
- 🚰 Hydration: drink 1.5–2 liters of water daily, preferably structured or hydrogen-rich. Add electrolytes such as ConcenTrace Mineral Drops.
- 🌾 Gut health: ensure daily bowel movements. Magnesium supplements may help. Fiber from vegetables, seeds, and Uno Vita products such as Chlorella and Spirulina contributes to binding toxins in the intestines.
- 🍊 Antioxidant support: start with vitamin C at least 500 mg daily. Uno Vita offers Buffered Vitamin C Powder and Altrient Liposomal C og QS Lipsomal Vitamin C med flere
- 🔋 Micronutrients: zinc (PicoZinc Plus), selenium (SelenoExcell) and B vitamins support the enzymatic processes of detoxification.
🟡 Step 2: Introduction of Glutaryl (week 1–2)
This is where you start gently.
- 💧 Dosage: 1 spray of Glutaryl every other day on clean skin.
- 🛡️ Binder: start with ZeoBent MED® or Ultra Binder Sensitive with Pectin, once daily.
- 🍊 Vitamin C: increase to at least 1000 mg daily.
- 🚰 Hydration and electrolytes continue.
- 🌿 Supplement with chlorophyll and broccoli extract to support the liver’s detoxification enzymes.
🌿 When might it be appropriate to start with MCP immediately?
-
If the person already has good bowel function (1–2 daily bowel movements, ample fluid intake, no tendency toward constipation).
-
If the person has previously used binders and tolerates them well.
-
If there is suspicion of a high circulating toxin burden, where you want to ensure rapid binding from the start.
-
If the detoxification program is being carried out under guidance, where doses can be adjusted quickly in the event of reactions.
👉 You can start with modified citrus pectin from day one, but it is often recommended to wait 1–2 weeks to give the body time to establish fluid balance, electrolyte support, and bowel flow. This helps avoid unnecessary reactions and makes it easier to adjust the dosage.
🟠 Step 3: Foundational support (week 3–4)
You are now using Glutaryl daily and continuing to build support.
- 💧 Dosage: 1-2 sprays of Glutaryl every day (2 sprays if you do not experience detoxification reactions, see below).
- 🌿 Liver support: Liver Sauce – Super Detox or Silymarin Milk Thistle.
- 🌱 Kidney support: Kindey Care.
- 🛡️ Binders: 1–2 times daily.
- 🍊 Vitamin C: at least 1000 mg daily.
- ⚡ Add NAC as a precursor to glutathione.
🔴 Step 4: Therapeutic phase (weeks 5–8)
Here, mobilization is increased under controlled support.
- 💧 Dosage: 2 sprays of Glutaryl daily (morning and evening).
- 🛡️ Binders: ZeoBent MED®, Ultra Binder, modified citrus pectin.
- 🌿 Liver and kidney support continues.
- ⚡ Mitochondrial support: Q10, NADH, Ribose contribute to energy stability.
- 🧶 Light sweating through sauna or exercise supports the elimination of fat-soluble toxins such as PCBs and phthalates.
⚪ Step 5: Maintenance (from week 9 onward)
Here, use is stabilized to a level that suits your body.
- 💧 Dosage: 1–2 sprays daily (or more) or 3–5 times per week.
- 🛡️ Binders: can be used periodically.
- 🌿 Continue vitamin C, selenium, zinc, and liver/kidney support as needed.
- 😴 Focus: sleep, rest, and a balanced diet.

📱 Digital detox
In addition to physical toxins, we are now exposed to a continuous digital burden. Mobile phones, wireless networks, and screens cause not only information stress, but also exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). This can increase oxidative stress, disrupt the redox system, and thereby affect the cells’ electrical balance (transmembrane potential). When the redox environment shifts toward oxidation, the cells are depleted of electrons, cell voltage drops, and mitochondrial energy production is weakened.
📱 Mobile phone use and oxidative stress
🔬 Studies show that EMF from mobile phones (0.8–2.6 GHz, GSM, 3G, 4G, 5G) can:
• Increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
• Reduce intracellular glutathione (GSH)
• Alter antioxidant enzymes (SOD, catalase, glutathione peroxidase)
• Create an imbalance in the redox ratio (GSH/GSSG) – the key to the cells’ redox status and voltage level
🧬 The redox system maintains the balance between oxidation and reduction. An excess of electrons (reduction) makes the membrane more negative and the cell energy-rich. Loss of electrons (oxidation) causes depolarization and weaker cell voltage.
📑 Scientific basis
• A systematic review (Yakymenko et al., 2016) found that >90% of studies reported increased ROS or reduced antioxidant defense during EMF exposure
• In vitro: human blood cells exposed to 1800 MHz showed increased ROS and DNA damage
• Animal studies: rats had lower glutathione levels in the brain and liver during mobile radiation exposure
• Human studies: some showed increased markers of oxidative stress (MDA) in long-term mobile phone users
⚖️ Conclusion
✅ Mobile phone use may contribute to increased oxidative stress and disrupted redox balance
✅ This affects cell voltage and mitochondrial energy
✅ The documentation is strongest in laboratory and animal studies, but also exists in humans
✅ The effect varies with exposure time, distance, signal type, and individual sensitivity
🌿 Practical measures for digital detox
• 📴 Put your phone in airplane mode at night
• 🌙 Limit screen use in the evening to protect melatonin and sleep
• 🔌 Use wired internet whenever possible instead of wireless
• 🌳 Spend time outdoors in nature and walk barefoot (grounding)
• 🛡️ Support redox balance with glutathione, vitamin C, and R-ALA
• 🔴 Use red light/photobiomodulation to strengthen the mitochondrial membrane potential
