Glutathione (Reduced GSH)
Glutathione (GSH), specifically in its Reduced Form, is a tripeptide composed of Glutamate, Cysteine, and Glycine. In the landscape of advanced cellular biology and toxicology research, Glutathione is recognized as the most abundant and essential endogenous antioxidant. It serves as the cornerstone of the cell’s defense system, maintaining the Redox (Reduction-Oxidation) Homeostasis and protecting vital cellular components from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals, and peroxides. It provides researchers with an indispensable experimental tool to investigate metabolic detoxification, the modulation of immune responses, and the molecular pathways of aging and neuroprotection.
Our Glutathione is processed in an ISO 9001:2015 certified environment utilizing high-precision purification and stabilization technologies. We achieve an ultra-high chemical purity of ≥99%, ensuring the compound is in its active Reduced State for maximal biological efficacy. This rigorous production standard ensures the absence of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) contaminants and heavy metals, guaranteeing the consistency and structural fidelity required for sensitive enzymatic assays and longitudinal oxidative stress studies.
Research Applications & Mechanisms
Oxidative Redox Homeostasis

Key Features & Quality Assurance
Advanced Lyophilization Stability
Our proprietary vacuum-sealing process ensures the Glutathione powder surface is perfectly smooth, flat, and delicate. This uniform “cake” structure ensures rapid, clear reconstitution and protects the reduced thiol group from premature oxidation during storage.
Active Thiol Content Verification
Every batch is strictly verified to ensure the highest ratio of Reduced GSH, providing predictable and powerful antioxidant activity in all experimental designs.
Reconstitution & Storage
Reconstitution Guide
-
Preparation: Allow the vial to reach room temperature. Centrifuge for 30-60 seconds to ensure the Glutathione cake is at the base.
-
Solvent: Reconstitute with Sterile Water or 0.9% Normal Saline.
-
Technique: Gently introduce the diluent against the vial wall. DO NOT SHAKE; swirl gently until the solution is clear and transparent.
Storage Protocols
-
Long-term: Store at -20°C (Maintains potency for up to 24 months).
-
Short-term: Stable at 2–8°C for up to 3 months.
-
Post-Reconstitution: Store at 2–8°C and utilize within 48-72 hours for optimal antioxidant activity. Reduced Glutathione is sensitive to oxidation once in solution.
