Глутатион
Glutathione (Глутатион) — 600 mg
Glutathione is a tripeptide (glutamate-cysteine-glycine) and the primary intracellular antioxidant in the body. It is central to neutralizing free radicals, detoxification, and maintaining redox balance within the cell. It is one of the most fundamental protective molecules in biology.

What is Glutathione
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It is present in virtually every cell and is the main line of intracellular antioxidant defense. It exists in two forms – reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) – and the ratio between them is a key indicator of the cell's oxidative status.
How it works
Glutathione neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals by donating an electron through the thiol group of cysteine. It is also involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics (via glutathione-S-transferases) and the regeneration of other antioxidants like vitamins C and E. The connection to GHK-Cu is direct: GHK-Cu increases the levels of antioxidants such as glutathione in tissues.
Researched Effects (scientific context)
It is studied in relation to oxidative stress, liver detoxification, immune function, and cellular aging. Glutathione status is a standard marker in many metabolic and toxicological models.
Pharmacokinetics
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Structure | tripeptide (Glu-Cys-Gly) |
| Forms | reduced (GSH) / oxidized (GSSG) |
| Role | primary intracellular antioxidant |
Reconstitution (laboratory procedure)
The lyophilized powder is reconstituted with bacteriostatic or sterile water. The table shows the concentration for a 600 mg vial:
| Water added | Concentration |
|---|---|
| 3 mL | 200 mg/mL |
| 6 mL | 100 mg/mL |
Water should be added slowly down the side of the vial; the solution should be gently swirled, not shaken.
Research Protocols
It is studied alone and in combination with NAD+ or cysteine precursors.
The information reflects protocols from scientific publications and is provided solely as reference information — not as instructions for use.
Side Effects (from published studies)
As an endogenous molecule, the profile is well-tolerated in a research context. Method-dependent transient effects with rapid administration.
Storage
- Lyophilized: stable at room temperature for transport; for long-term storage — in a dark and dry place (refrigerator for long term).
- After reconstitution: at 2–8°C, use within up to 28 days. Avoid repeated freezing/thawing. Sensitive to oxidation — protect from air.
Tested Quality
Each batch undergoes independent laboratory testing for purity and identity (HPLC), with a COA accompanying the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What form does it come in? Lyophilized powder in a glass vial, vacuum-sealed.
Is bacteriostatic water included? No – it is offered separately.
What is the difference between GSH and GSSG? GSH is the reduced (active) form; GSSG is the oxidized form. Their ratio indicates the oxidative status.
How long is it stable after dissolution? Up to 28 days in the refrigerator; sensitive to oxidation.
What is the shelf life? Lyophilized and properly stored – up to 24 months.
