Overview
Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine — often referred to as the body’s master antioxidant. It plays a central role in detoxification, immune defense, and cellular repair by neutralizing free radicals and reactive oxygen species.
Mechanism of Action
Injectable (parenteral) glutathione delivers the reduced form (GSH) directly into systemic circulation, bypassing hepatic metabolism and achieving higher plasma concentrations than oral forms. This supports enhanced redox balance, promotes regeneration of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and aids in the reduction of oxidative stress markers.
Potential Research Applications
-
Oxidative Stress Reduction: Supports antioxidant defenses in hepatic, neural, and dermal tissues.
-
Liver and Cellular Detoxification: Promotes conjugation and excretion of toxins, xenobiotics, and heavy metals.
-
Skin Health & Brightening Research: Studied for its potential influence on melanogenesis pathways.
-
Immunity & Recovery: May aid in immune modulation and tissue repair in oxidative stress models.
Add 15mL of of bacteriostatic water to get a solution that is 100mg/mL, such that every 0.1mL (10 units on an insulin syringe) is equal to 10mg of Glutathione.
