Glutathione 1500mg (often labeled as L-Glutathione or reduced glutathione) is a popular research peptide supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in a single vial, typically intended for laboratory or experimental use only—not for human consumption, self-administration, or medical treatment without professional oversight. What It Is Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide made from three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. It functions as the body's primary endogenous antioxidant, helping neutralize free radicals, support detoxification (especially in the liver), maintain cellular redox balance, and protect against oxidative stress. In research contexts, it's studied for its role in cellular protection, mitochondrial function, inflammation modulation, and aging-related processes. The 1500mg vial format is common among research peptide suppliers (e.g., high-purity ≥99% lyophilized solid with COA verification). It's often marketed for in vitro studies, oxidative stress modeling, or biochemical assays. Common Research and Experimental Uses From studies and protocols: - Antioxidant and detoxification support — Investigated for reducing oxidative damage in models of chronic conditions. - Liver health — Explored in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and detoxification pathways. - Aging and cellular repair — Studied for potential in mitigating age-related decline in glutathione levels. - Other areas — Neuroprotection (e.g., Parkinson's models), immune modulation, insulin resistance, and skin-related research (though often topical or oral in studies). - High-dose protocols (e.g., 1200–3000mg equivalents) appear in some chemotherapy adjunct or neuropathy prevention trials, but these are typically IV under medical supervision. Benefits in Research Contexts Potential effects based on studies include: - Reducing oxidative stress and cell damage. - Supporting liver enzyme function and detoxification. - Improving insulin sensitivity in some models. - Protecting against certain toxicities (e.g., in chemotherapy adjunct research). - General cellular health and redox balance.
