Glutathione (Research Grade)

Glutathione is the tripeptide Glu-Cys-Gly and the dominant intracellular antioxidant. Its free thiol group drives redox cycling between reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) states, the standard readout of cellular oxidative status.

Glutathione specifications

Reference data researchers look up before ordering glutathione. Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.

  • Class: antioxidant tripeptide
  • Sequence: Glu-Cys-Gly
  • Redox pair: GSH / GSSG
  • Storage: -20°C lyophilized, protect from light

Glutathione purity testing and certificate of analysis

Each glutathione lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.

  • ≥99% HPLC purity specification
  • LC-MS mass confirmation on every batch
  • Endotoxin and sterility panel documentation
  • Lot-matched glutathione COA published on the certifications page

Glutathione reconstitution and BAC water ratios

Glutathione ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.

  • 1500mg vial + 10mL BAC water = 150mg per mL
  • 600mg vial + 6mL BAC water = 100mg per mL
  • Highly light-sensitive — keep in the carton
  • Refrigerate; use reconstituted solution promptly

Where to buy glutathione

PX1 Research synthesizes and fills glutathione in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GSH and GSSG?

GSH is the reduced, active form; GSSG is the oxidized dimer. Their ratio is the standard measure of cellular redox balance.

How much BAC water for a 1500mg glutathione vial?

10mL gives 150mg per mL, the most commonly cited working concentration.

Is a certificate of analysis provided with glutathione?

Yes. Every glutathione lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.

How should glutathione be stored?

Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
