The Science Behind iBlush

Why Glutathione Is Your Secret Weapon Against Alcohol Flush

Red face after one drink? Racing heartbeat? Next-day fog that hits harder than the night before?

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not overreacting. You may be experiencing what’s known as an alcohol flush reaction, often called Asian flush or alcohol face flush.

The culprit? A toxic byproduct called acetaldehyde that builds up when your body struggles to process alcohol. And that’s exactly where our hero ingredient steps in.

Meet Glutathione: The Real MVP Behind iBlush

Glutathione (pronounced gloo-tuh-thigh-own) is your body’s master antioxidant—a natural detoxifier that plays a crucial role in helping your liver break down alcohol. It’s what helps convert acetaldehyde (that toxic byproduct we mentioned) into a harmless substance your body can eliminate.

But if you’re low in glutathione—which is incredibly common due to age, stress, genetics, or poor sleep—you’ll feel alcohol’s side effects faster and harder. That’s when symptoms like redness, nausea, racing heart, and hangxiety show up uninvited.

At iBlush, we’ve built our alcohol flush solutions around this ingredient for one reason: it's science-backed, and it works.

How Glutathione Helps with Alcohol Flush Reaction

Here’s what’s going on under the surface:

  1. You drink alcohol
  2. Your body converts it into acetaldehyde—a highly reactive, toxic compound
  3. Normally, Glutathione helps neutralise and remove acetaldehyde quickly
  4. But if your levels are low, the toxin lingers → causing flush, headache, dizziness, nausea
  5. Supplementing with Glutathione helps your body detox more efficiently, reducing those symptoms

That means... less redness, less discomfort, and a smoother, more confident experience when drinking.

Bonus Benefits of Glutathione (Beyond Alcohol Support)

Glutathione isn’t just a short-term fix—it supports your body in ways that go way beyond drinking:

  • Boosts liver detox function
  • Reduces histamine response (key if wine or champagne makes you flushed or stuffy)
  • Improves skin clarity and glow
  • Enhances immune function
  • Protects against oxidative stress (hello, anti-aging benefits)

It’s basically your body’s bouncer, spa therapist, and wellness coach in one.
