LifeWave Glutathione Patch Placement: CV6 or PC6 (Wrist) and a Daytime Routine

Both points are commonly used for Glutathione. CV6 (Conception Vessel 6) is the primary point in the Glutathione placement protocol: it sits on the midline of the lower abdomen, about two finger-widths below the navel. PC6 (Pericardium 6) is the commonly used second point, on the inside of the wrist about three finger-widths above the wrist crease; LifeWave materials often show the right wrist.

A simple way to decide: start with CV6 if you want the protocol default, which is also the day-two point of the Y-Age rotation. Choose PC6 when the skin around CV6 needs a rest or when you prefer a wrist routine. PC6 is not one of the points drawn on this site’s Body Map, so use the finger-width steps below and the full placement chart. Whichever you pick, use only one point per day.

To find CV6, stand or lie down relaxed and locate the centre of the navel. Place two fingers side by side directly below it, along the midline. The point sits at the lower edge of the second finger, about two finger-widths (1.5 cun) below the navel. Centre the patch over that spot and keep it on the midline rather than drifting to one side.

To find PC6, turn the palm of one hand upwards (LifeWave materials often show the right wrist) and find the crease where the hand meets the wrist. Place three fingers side by side with the edge of the first finger on the crease; PC6 is about three finger-widths up from the crease, on the inside of the wrist. Centre the patch there and press it flat.

The Body Map shows CV6; PC6 is not drawn on it, which is why the wrist steps are written out here and the full placement chart lists both points. Glutathione is a single-patch product, so landing near the point is considered acceptable, and the chart gives the CV6 distance as two finger-widths to about two inches (5 cm) below the navel: millimetre precision is not needed.

Daytime wear is the usual Glutathione routine, including during travel or demanding weeks. The protocol describes daily use, or use as part of the Y-Age rotation, with one patch worn for up to 12 hours. If you apply it in the morning, the 12-hour window ends in the evening and the skin rests overnight.

Apply a fresh patch to clean, dry, undamaged skin, wear it for up to 12 hours, then remove and discard it and leave at least 12 hours off before the next one. Do not cut, reuse or re-stick a patch; if it lifts or comes off during the day, replace it with a fresh one. Stay hydrated through the wear window.

The time of day is a routine detail: daytime is the usual window for Glutathione, and Silent Nights is the patch designed for bedtime and overnight use.

The Glutathione protocol allows the patch to be rotated within the navel-area skin zone if irritation occurs, so you do not have to return to exactly the same spot day after day. If the abdomen still needs a rest, move to PC6 on the wrist. Apart from rotating for skin comfort, change one thing at a time, including the point itself.

Skin comes first. Apply only to clean, dry, undamaged skin, never over a rash or on irritated or broken skin, and rotate away from any spot that looks red or feels sore. If redness, itching or irritation appears, stop using that spot and move to a different point; if irritation persists, stop use and ask a healthcare professional.

The protocol tip is to start slowly if you are sensitive. In practice that means one patch on one point, the rest of your routine unchanged for two to four weeks, notes on your skin and how you feel, and other patches added only after that observation window.

Most Glutathione placement problems come from a short list of habits that are easy to fix.

Glutathione is one third of the Y-Age rotation. The protocol is a three-day cycle: Aeon on CV14 (CV6 as the alternate) on day one, Glutathione on CV6 on day two and Carnosine near GB20 on day three, then the cycle repeats. It is a rotation, not three patches worn at once, unless a consultant directs otherwise.

Alongside X39 or X49, one rule applies: each patch needs its own site, and two patches never share one point. The combination guide lists pairing X39 with Glutathione as a commonly mentioned example, and when Glutathione is on CV6, X39 goes to GV14, which is how that guide’s example week is built. X49 follows the same logic: its other listed point is GB34.

Aeon and Carnosine have their own primary points, CV14 and GB20, so they do not need to compete with Glutathione for CV6, and an alternate point such as CV6 is for a different day, not for a second patch on the same day. If you own only two of the three Y-Age patches, alternate them by day instead of wearing both together, and add one product at a time with a fair observation window.

Y-Age Glutathione is a general wellness product, not a substitute for medical care, and a few groups should talk to a qualified healthcare professional first. It is contraindicated in pregnancy and not recommended while nursing. Anyone who is immunosuppressed, has had an organ transplant or has autoimmune concerns should consult a physician first; with an organ transplant or immunosuppression, use only with physician guidance.

Suspected toxic exposure needs medical evaluation: the patch is not a detox treatment and should not be described as one. If you have an implanted electronic device near the placement area, ask your doctor first, and remove the patch before an MRI.

Stop use and reassess if irritation, discomfort or unusual symptoms appear, and speak to a doctor if a reaction is severe, persistent or getting worse. Placement is a routine detail, not a medical decision: new, severe or persistent symptoms need a clinician, not a different point.
