Glutathione (GSH) – Key Information What it is: Glutathione is a powerful tripeptide made of three amino acids: glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It is the body’s master antioxidant and is naturally produced in every cell, with highest concentrations in the liver. Main Functions - Neutralizes free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) - Supports detoxification (helps bind and eliminate toxins, heavy metals, etc.) - Regenerates other antioxidants (Vitamin C, E, etc.) - Supports immune function - Plays a role in DNA repair and protein synthesis - Helps regulate inflammation Why Research It (Research & Wellness Context) - Antioxidant support & cellular protection - Skin brightening / hyperpigmentation (popular in aesthetic protocols) - Liver detox & support - Immune modulation (e.g., with allergies or chronic illness) - Anti-aging and recovery from oxidative stress - Often stacked with other peptides (NAD+, GHK-Cu, etc.) Common Research Administration - Form: Lyophilized powder (like your 1500mg vial), reconstituted with BAC water - Routes: Subcutaneous (SubQ), Intramuscular (IM) - Half-life: Relatively short — hence split or frequent dosing in some protocols Typical Research Dosing (as discussed): - 150–600 mg per injection, 1–3x per week (most common range) - Higher doses (up to 1200 mg) seen in some clinical/IV settings Storage - Unreconstituted: Store in refrigerator or freezer (stable longer) - Reconstituted (your 10 mL version): Refrigerate, use within 2–4 weeks, protect from light
