Listed vial contents: 600mg. These are supplied quantities, not administration doses. Current pricing and availability are shown in the strength selector.

What mechanisms are being studied?

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide present in virtually every human cell at millimolar concentrations — the most abundant endogenous antioxidant. It directly neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals, serves as the essential cofactor for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase enzymes, is critical for Phase II liver detoxification, and maintains the redox state of other antioxidants (vitamins C and E).

What are the research questions?

  • Liver support / detoxification: Essential for Phase II hepatic detoxification. Studied for NAFLD, alcoholic liver disease, and drug-induced hepatotoxicity (NAC, a precursor, is the standard treatment for acetaminophen overdose).
  • Parkinson's disease: IV glutathione showed improved motor symptoms in open-label studies.
  • Skin lightening / anti-aging: Inhibits melanin synthesis via tyrosinase inhibition. Popular in dermatological practice.
  • Immune support: Essential for lymphocyte proliferation and NK cell function.
  • Insulin resistance: Improved insulin sensitivity in older adults with glutathione supplementation.

What does the published work describe?

Sechi G et al. (1996) — IV glutathione improved motor function in Parkinson's patients. Richie JP et al. (Eur J Nutr 2015) — Oral glutathione supplementation increased blood and tissue glutathione levels. GSH is the direct antidote for acetaminophen toxicity (via NAC conversion).

What are the limits of this evidence?

The research described concerns the cited experimental materials and models, not proof that this supplied vial is a treatment. Cell or animal findings do not establish human benefits. Clinical findings, where cited, apply to the tested formulation and population; they do not validate this research product for human use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Glutathione suitable for human consumption?

No. Glutathione is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a drug, supplement, cosmetic, or food product and must not be administered to humans or animals.

What purity is Glutathione?

Glutathione carries a ≥99% HPLC purity specification. Check the product page for an available lot report.

How is Glutathione shipped and stored?

Vials are shipped lyophilized in temperature-controlled packaging. Store unopened lyophilized peptide at −20°C; once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days.
