What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide (gamma-Glu-Cys-Gly) and a key cellular antioxidant. In research it is studied in redox-homeostasis and oxidative-stress models.
Research applications
- Cellular redox homeostasis research
- Oxidative-stress response studies
- Thiol redox-balance research
Handling & reconstitution
Glutathione is supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution in bacteriostatic or sterile water. See the reconstitution guide and use the reconstitution calculator to work out concentration and syringe units; for diluent choice see bacteriostatic water vs sterile water.
Quality & Certificate of Analysis
Every Glutathione lot is verified by independent third-party HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity), with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis included on each order.
