Glutathione
Research use only.
Glutathione is a small peptide the body makes and uses as one of its main antioxidants, helping to clean up cell damage and support the liver.
What it is studied for
- Antioxidant support: protecting cells from everyday stress.
- Detox and liver: its role in clearing waste.
- Skin brightness: a popular focus in cosmetic research.
About Glutathione
Glutathione (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) is a tripeptide and the most abundant intracellular antioxidant. Its thiol group donates electrons to neutralise reactive species, and it is a co-substrate for glutathione peroxidases and S-transferases — making it central to redox, oxidative-stress and detoxification research.
Key research areas
- Redox balance — The GSH/GSSG ratio as a marker of cellular oxidative state.
- Oxidative stress — Protection against reactive oxygen species in cell models.
- Detoxification pathways — Glutathione S-transferase conjugation of xenobiotics.
- Skin & melanin research — Pigmentation-pathway studies in dermatology research.

Frequently asked questions
What is glutathione studied for?
Redox balance, oxidative stress, detoxification (GST) pathways and pigmentation research.
Is glutathione a peptide?
Yes — it is a tripeptide made of glutamate, cysteine and glycine.
How should it be stored?
Keep lyophilized vials cold and away from light; reconstituted glutathione oxidises more quickly, so keep it refrigerated and use it promptly.
Is glutathione for human use?
No. This product is sold strictly for laboratory research use only.
