Glutathione 600mg
A research-focused master antioxidant tripeptide protocol detailing the reconstitution and subcutaneous handling of a 600 mg vial.
Mechanism
Operates as the primary cellular thiol antioxidant by neutralizing reactive oxygen intermediates and serving as a substrate for glutathione peroxidase and transferase detoxification enzymes.
Dosing
The documented initial experimental starting dose is 100 mg administered subcutaneously two to three times weekly.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute the 600 mg vial with 3.0 mL of bacteriostatic water to achieve a final working concentration of 200 mg/mL (2 mg per U-100 unit).
Storage
Store unmixed lyophilized vials frozen at -20 °C, and keep the reconstituted liquid refrigerated at 2–8 °C shielded from light without freezing.

Dosing Chart
| Phase / Day(s) | Dose & Frequency | Volume (U-100 units / mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 (initiation) | 100 mg (2–3× weekly) | 50 units (0.50 mL) |
| Weeks 3–8 (maintenance) | 200 mg (2–3× weekly) | 100 units (1.0 mL) |
| Weeks 9–12 | 200 mg (2–3× weekly) | 100 units (1.0 mL) |
Reconstitution Steps
- 1
Draw exactly 3.0 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- 2
Introduce the diluent slowly against the inside glass wall of the 600 mg vial to reduce agitation and foaming.
- 3
Swirl or rotate the vial gently between the fingers until the lyophilized cake is fully dissolved; avoid shaking.
- 4
Record the date and resulting concentration (200 mg/mL) on the vial label.
- 5
Place the reconstituted solution in a refrigerator maintained at 2–8 °C, shielded from ambient light.

Overview
Glutathione (GSH) is an essential endogenous tripeptide synthesized from glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, serving as a cornerstone of cellular redox regulation. Widely referenced as the body's primary intracellular antioxidant, it plays a vital role in protecting cellular structures from reactive oxygen species and supporting phase II conjugation pathways in hepatic tissues. In laboratory and experimental models, researchers study exogenous administration to assess tissue uptake, immune system modulation, and the buffering of severe oxidative stress. Because oral bioavailability is typically limited by enzymatic breakdown in the digestive tract, injectable pathways remain a primary avenue for translational research into cellular defenses. This specific laboratory reference document outlines the physical parameters for handling a 600 mg lyophilized vial. It provides standardized metrics for reconstitution volume, syringe graduation conversions, and storage considerations strictly for scientific research and educational investigations.
