Glutathione

Description

Glutathione (γ-L-Glutamyl-L-Cysteinyl-Glycine) is the body’s master intracellular antioxidant, a tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. Found in every cell, it plays a critical role in protecting against oxidative stress, supporting detoxification, and maintaining immune homeostasis.

Mechanism of Action

• Acts as a redox buffer in cytoplasm and mitochondria, neutralizing free radicals and maintaining oxidative balance

• Recycles other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E

• Works with glutathione peroxidase and reductase enzymes to support detoxification pathways in the liver

• Protects mitochondrial DNA and cellular proteins from oxidative damage

• Modulates immune function and mitigates inflammation

• Restoration of glutathione levels is crucial in research involving aging, oxidative stress, inflammation, and toxin exposure

Dosage Guidelines (Research Use)

Subcutaneous (SC) Injection:

• Dose: 100–600 mg per injection

• Frequency: 1–3 times per week

• Treatment Duration: Several weeks to months, depending on experimental objectives

Intravenous (IV) Injection:

• Dose: 600–1,200 mg per session

• Frequency: 1–2 times per week

• Treatment Duration: Varies according to research protocol and response

Note: Dosage may be adjusted slightly for practical administration purposes; minor variations are not expected to significantly affect outcomes.
