Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It functions as one of the body’s primary intracellular antioxidants, playing a central role in redox balance, cellular detoxification, immune defense, mitochondrial protection, and skin-brightening pathways.
The Biopeptics Glutathione vial is supplied in lyophilized form to ensure maximum purity, stability, and potency for advanced laboratory and biochemical research applications.

For research use only. 

How It Works

1. Master Antioxidant & Cellular Defense

Glutathione neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and supports enzymes involved in detoxification. In research models, it:

  • Protects DNA and cell membranes from oxidative damage
  • Regenerates other antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E)
  • Supports liver-phase detoxification pathways
  • Reduces inflammatory signaling at a cellular level

Its strong ROS-scavenging activity makes it valuable in studies examining oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, and cellular aging.

2. Skin Brightening & Pigmentation Pathways

Research indicates Glutathione influences melanin synthesis by:

  • Inhibiting tyrosinase (the key pigment-producing enzyme)
  • Shifting melanin production from eumelanin (dark pigment) to pheomelanin (lighter pigment)
  • Supporting reduction of oxidative stress within melanocytes

These mechanisms make it a popular molecule in pigmentation, aesthetic, and dermatology research.

3. Immune Regulation & Inflammation Control

Glutathione contributes to immune balance by:

  • Supporting lymphocyte proliferation
  • Reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine activity
  • Enhancing cellular resilience in models of infection or chronic inflammation

Its immune-modulating properties are frequently explored in immunology and systemic-inflammation studies.

4. Mitochondrial Function & Detoxification

Within mitochondria, Glutathione:

  • Supports ATP production
  • Protects mitochondrial DNA
  • Enhances detoxification of metabolic byproducts

This makes it a key molecule in longevity, metabolic, and neuroprotective research models.

Research Applications

  • Oxidative stress and detoxification studies
  • Dermatology and pigmentation research
  • Immune modulation models
  • Liver and metabolic-health research
  • Mitochondrial function and cellular aging studies

Composition

Glutathione – 1500 mg Lyophilized Peptide Powder

Dosage Guidance

Glutathione (GSH) — Research Dosage Guidance
Reconstitution (Mixing)

  • Add 3.0 ml Bacteriostatic Water to the vial
  • Final concentration: 500 mg per ml

Possible Side Effects (Observed in Research & Clinical Settings)

Who Should Use with Caution / Avoid in Research Contexts

Glutathione Who Should Use With Caution or Avoid (Research Contexts)

Glutathione is a central antioxidant involved in cellular redox balance and detoxification pathways. Use caution or avoid in the following research contexts:

Active cancer or tumor-bearing models (may influence cellular survival and treatment-response pathways)

Severe asthma or hypersensitivity-prone models (rare sensitivity reactions reported)

Known sulfur sensitivity (thiol-containing compound; mild reactivity possible)

Uncontrolled detoxification or hepatic-function models (may alter liver enzyme or oxidative-stress markers)

Summary

Glutathione is a powerful intracellular antioxidant central to research on detoxification, skin brightening, immune support, and cellular longevity. Its redox-balancing properties make it essential in oxidative stress and metabolic studies. Side effects are typically mild and self-limiting, often related to detoxification shifts or local injection irritation. Proper dilution and slow administration help ensure predictable and consistent outcomes in research settings.
