L-Glutathione1500 mg

What it is

L-glutathione is a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine, and the most abundant intracellular thiol antioxidant in human cells. It appears in redox biology, hepatology and dermatology research, where it is studied in reduced and oxidized forms.

How it works

Glutathione is the body's own master antioxidant, a tripeptide studied for its role in oxidative stress and cellular detoxification research.

Antioxidant

The cell's own defense

Glutathione neutralizes reactive oxygen species directly and recycles other antioxidants back to their active forms.

Detox

Central to phase II detox

In the liver, glutathione binds toxins and metabolic byproducts, marking them for removal in study models.

Redox

A marker of cellular stress

The ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione is widely used in research as a readout of oxidative stress.

Key benefits

  • Lyophilized powder, reconstituted for repeatable preparation.
  • COA-verified identity and purity, batch by batch.
  • Research-use plans built around a compound-specific question.

Laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use.

What published research is studying

Early human data
  • Skin melanin index in healthy adults (randomized placebo-controlled trials)
  • Melasma and other hyperpigmentation disorders (systematic reviews of oral, topical and intravenous forms)
  • Wrinkle depth, skin elasticity and UV spot counts
  • Oral bioavailability, which is limited by breakdown in the gut

Several small randomized human trials exist, mostly in dermatology and running 4 to 12 weeks, but systematic reviews still describe the pigmentation evidence as inconclusive.

Key research findings and references

Key research findings

A 2025 systematic review counted 5 randomized trials of oral glutathione reporting melanin index reductions versus placebo, while the one intravenous placebo-controlled study showed no significant difference.

Sarkar R et al., Int J Dermatol 2025

Published study duration

  • Oral glutathione whitening trial: 4 weeks in 60 participants (Arjinpathana 2012).
  • Reduced and oxidized glutathione trial: 12 weeks, with measurements at each visit (Weschawalit 2017).

Research endpoints

  • Skin melanin index by reflectance measurement
  • UV spot count on standardized facial imaging
  • Wrinkle depth and skin elasticity
  • Colorimetric L* value
  • Safety laboratory panels and adverse events

Research handling

Full handling guide
  1. 01

    Lyophilized, sealed, batch-numbered

    Each vial ships as a freeze-dried powder under an inert seal, tied to the batch on its Certificate of Analysis.

  2. 02

    Store cold and dark

    Unopened vials are kept refrigerated at 2-8°C away from light. Reconstituted material is stored refrigerated and used within the window the research plan defines.

  3. 03

    Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water

    The included bacteriostatic water is added slowly down the vial wall and the vial is swirled, never shaken.

  4. 04

    Research use only

    Supplied for laboratory research. Not for human or veterinary use. Handle with the personal protective equipment the laboratory requires.

Before you order

What ships in the box?

The vials selected, plus a free supply kit with every vial: one 3 ml bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 ml syringes and ten alcohol swabs per vial, and the uu.life research handling card.

How does volume pricing work?

The price per vial depends on how many vials of the same strength are on the line. 3-4 vials take 5% off, 5 or more take 10% off. The discount is applied automatically and shows on the product page, in the cart and at checkout.

Is every batch tested?

Yes. Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory for identity and purity, and the Certificate of Analysis is linked from this page and the lab-testing library.

How fast is delivery?

Orders are typically dispatched within 1-2 business days and arrive across most of Europe in 3-5 business days, tracked, in discreet packaging. Orders over €250 ship free, and Shipping Protection can be added at checkout.

Is this for human use?

No. Every product is sold for laboratory research only and is not for human or veterinary use.
