Description
Glutathione 1500mg
Glutathione (GSH, γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide antioxidant composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, with a distinctive γ-peptide bond between the glutamic acid side chain and cysteine. Glutathione is the most abundant intracellular thiol-containing peptide in mammalian cells and has been the subject of extensive cellular biology and biochemical research literature for over a century, with research contexts examining cellular redox biology, oxidative stress research, and thiol biochemistry.
Each vial contains 1500mg of lyophilized Glutathione in a sealed 10mL glass vial, verified through Mile High Compounds’ three-tier quality protocol: 7x independent third-party analytical testing, 4-vial batch conformity verification, and comprehensive heavy metal screening.

Research Background
Glutathione has been investigated in research literature across several scientific contexts:
- Cellular redox biology — investigations into glutathione’s role as the primary intracellular thiol antioxidant and its cycling between reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms
- Oxidative stress research — studies examining cellular response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the cellular glutathione system’s role in redox homeostasis
- Thiol biochemistry research — analytical chemistry studies on glutathione’s sulfhydryl group reactivity and protein S-glutathionylation in cellular research
- Cellular detoxification pathway research — studies on glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzymatic systems and Phase II metabolism in cellular research models
- Mitochondrial cellular biology — research literature on mitochondrial glutathione pools and their role in cellular bioenergetics research
- Comparative thiol research — analytical studies positioning glutathione alongside other cellular thiol compounds in cellular research contexts
Glutathione is one of the most extensively characterized small molecules in cellular biology research, with foundational research spanning over a century of peer-reviewed publications across biochemistry, cellular biology, and analytical chemistry. The compound represents a foundational reference material in cellular redox research. Foundational research is available through PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and the National Institutes of Health’s PMC database (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), where researchers can access peer-reviewed studies on glutathione cellular biology and thiol biochemistry research.
Analytical Verification
Every batch undergoes Mile High Compounds’ comprehensive analytical protocol:
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for purity quantification
- Mass Spectrometry (MS) for molecular weight and identity confirmation
- 14-day sterility testing
- Endotoxin analysis
- 4-vial batch conformity verification — statistically robust consistency testing across each production batch, exceeding the industry-standard single-vial sampling approach
- Heavy metal screening for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and additional trace metals
- Container and seal integrity verification
Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COAs) accompany every order, documenting full testing results across all verification protocols.
Reconstitution and Storage
- Lyophilized storage: Cool, dry location away from direct light; -20°C for long-term stability
- Post-reconstitution: Refrigerate at 2-8°C, protect from light and oxygen exposure (glutathione is sensitive to oxidation)
- Reconstituted use window: 14 days for optimal research integrity due to glutathione’s oxidation sensitivity
- Avoid: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles, prolonged air exposure, and contamination of the stopper surface
