Glutathione 600mg
600mgThe body master antioxidant tripeptide, studied for detoxification, cellular defence, and redox balance.
Overview
Glutathione is a tripeptide (glutamate-cysteine-glycine) that is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant in the body. It plays a central role in neutralising reactive oxygen species and supporting phase II detoxification.
This product is supplied as 600mg of lyophilised powder for laboratory reconstitution and research use only.
Mechanism of action
Glutathione donates electrons to neutralise free radicals and reactive oxygen species, cycling between reduced (GSH) and oxidised (GSSG) states as part of the cellular redox system.
It is a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase enzymes and conjugates toxins for elimination, central to hepatic detoxification pathways.
Research highlights
Glutathione is one of the most studied endogenous antioxidants, with research spanning oxidative stress, detoxification, immune function, and skin research.
Its redox chemistry makes it a key reference molecule in cellular defence and aging studies.
Reference dosing
Research protocols often reference IV, IM, or subcutaneous administration in mg-range schedules for antioxidant and detox studies (e.g. weekly or twice weekly). This reflects published research protocols only.
Storage & handling
Store lyophilised vials refrigerated at 2-8C, protected from light. Keep reconstituted solution refrigerated and use promptly per protocol.
