Glutathione (GSH) is a small tripeptide of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine found in nearly every cell, where it is the main antioxidant the body makes itself. It scavenges reactive oxygen species, helps neutralise waste products and keeps other antioxidants in their active form. Because the supply falls away with ageing, illness and strain, it is widely researched. We supply it as a 600 mg research-grade vial at ≥99% purity, dispatched the same working day from the Netherlands.

What glutathione research turns on

Glutathione is the antioxidant the cell itself leans on. It keeps the balance between the reduced form (GSH) and the oxidised form (GSSG), and that ratio is a common lab measure of oxidative stress. That is why it shows up in research on the liver, the skin, the immune system and ageing. At BasePurity you buy it purely as a research material, not for use in humans.

Three amino acids with an unusual bond

The molecule is built from glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine, but the first amino acid is attached through a gamma-glutamyl bond rather than an ordinary peptide bond. That is why most peptidases leave it alone. Cells make it themselves in two energy-consuming steps, with the availability of cysteine setting the pace. It is also why the precursor NAC so often appears alongside glutathione in studies.

What it does in the cell

Glutathione is the fuel for two groups of enzymes. The glutathione peroxidases neutralise peroxides, and the glutathione S-transferases attach the molecule to foreign compounds so they can be cleared, so-called phase II detoxification. It also returns vitamins C and E to their active form and acts as a signalling molecule by binding temporarily to proteins. Most of what is known comes from cell and animal studies.

Skin and pigment: where the attention comes from

Much of the interest comes from pigmentation research. In cell studies glutathione inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase and shifts melanin production from dark eumelanin towards lighter pheomelanin. In human studies, mostly with capsules, creams or infusions outside our scope, the results are mixed and the evidence limited. We make no claims about it ourselves; at BasePurity glutathione is a research material.

Why a vial and not a capsule or infusion

What we sell is a research-grade vial for laboratory use, not a capsule, cream or IV infusion. The glutathione supplements from the pharmacy and the infusions from clinics are consumer products with a different purpose and dose. Swallowed glutathione is also largely broken down in the gut, which explains why research prefers to work with the pure compound. Our vial is meant for researchers who want exactly that.

Prone to oxidation: keeping it usable

The thiol group on cysteine is what makes glutathione active, but that same group oxidises easily once in solution. Freeze-dried it is stable; once made up with bacteriostatic water it goes into the fridge, protected from light, and is used within a few days. We give no dosing or administration advice; the details on this page are meant for your research documentation.

What we check per batch

Precisely because glutathione is prone to oxidation, purity matters all the more here. Every batch is tested by HPLC for ≥99% purity and for identity, and leaves freeze-dried so it reaches you stable. So you know exactly what you are holding; the exact specifications are in the table at the bottom of this page.
