Description
Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of three amino acids: L–glutamic acid, L–cysteine, and glycine. Its chemical structure is y-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine (y-Glu-Cys-Gly), with a uniquey-glutamyl linkage between glutamate and cysteine that confers resistance to standard peptidase degradation. Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms, with GSH being the predominant and biologically active state in cells.
Mechanism of Action
Glutathione is the body’s primary intracellular antioxidant and phase II detoxification cofactor. Its principal actions include:
- Direct scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals, and peroxides Regeneration of other antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10)
- Conjugation with xenobiotics, heavy metals, and electrophilic metabolites via glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) for excretion
- Maintenance of cellular redox homeostasis through the glutathione peroxidase/reductase cycle
- Modulation of inflammatory signalling (e.g., NF-kB inhibition)
- Support for mitochondrial function and protection against oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA
- By replenishing intracellular GSH pools, exogenous administration supports systemic antioxidant capacity, detoxification pathways, and cellular resilience against oxidative and toxic stress.
Indications & Usage
Glutathione is used to support antioxidant defence, detoxification, and cellular health. It is indicated for:
- Enhancement of systemic antioxidant capacity and reduction of oxidative stress
- Support for detoxification pathways (liver, kidneys, and other tissues)
- Assistance during periods of increased oxidative load (e.g., intense physical activity, environmental exposure, recovery phases)
- Maintenance of skin health, energy metabolism, and general cellular protection
Contraindications & Warnings
Do not use if you have:
- Known hypersensitivity to glutathione or any excipient
- Active asthma or history of severe bronchospasm (rare reports of respiratory reactions with intravenous glutathione)
- Severe renal impairment (especially with high-dose use)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding (insufficient safety data)
- Age under 18 years
Warnings
- Use only under medical supervision.
- Not a substitute for standard medical treatment of liver disease, chronic illness, or toxicity. High doses may transiently increase transaminases or cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
- Discontinue immediately and seek medical attention if severe symptoms occur (e.g., difficulty breathing, severe rash, or anaphylactoid reaction).
Dosage & Administration
- Subcutaneous injection only.
- Low Dose (50 mg): 12 clicks daily- beginner or maintenance antioxidant support (yields 20 doses) Moderate Dose (100 mg): 24 clicks daily- enhanced skin clarity and moderate detoxification support (yields 10 doses)
- High Dose (200 mg): 48 clicks daily- intensive oxidative stress reduction, skin pigmentation concerns, or therapeutic detox protocols (yields 5 doses)
- Frequency: Once daily
- Timing: Morning or evening – consistent timing preferred
Administration Instructions
- Wash hands and prepare a clean surface.
- Attach a sterile needle.
- Dial the required number of clicks.
- Clean injection site (abdomen or thigh) with alcohol swab.
- Insert needle at 45-90° angle and inject slowly.
- Withdraw needle, dispose safely, and cap the pen.
- Rotate injection sites to minimize irritation.
- Always inspect solution before use: Do not inject if cloudy, discoloured, or containing particles.
Side Effects
Glutathione is generally very well tolerated. Reported reactions are uncommon and usually mild/transient, including:
- Mild injection-site irritation, redness, or itching
- Transient headache or light-headedness
- Temporary nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort
- Rare metallic taste or flushing (dose-related)
- Very rare hypersensitivity reactions (rash, urticaria, bronchospasm)
- If any severe or persistent symptoms occur (e.g., difficulty breathing, severe rash, or anaphylactoid reaction), discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
Storage & Handling
- Store either in refrigerator (fridge); never freeze or in a cool dry place (≤25-30°C / 77-86°F).
- Keep pen capped and protected from light and heat.
- After first use: Same storage conditions.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Discard if expired or solution appears abnormal.
