Frequently Asked
How do I reconstitute Glutathione?
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 600 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 300 mg/mL.
What is the recommended dose of Glutathione?
A typical research dose is 200 mg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.
How many doses are in a Glutathione vial?
A 600 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water yields approximately 3 doses at 200 mg each.
How many IU is 200 mg of Glutathione on a syringe?
With a 600 mg vial reconstituted in 2 mL bacteriostatic water, the concentration is 300 mg/mL. For a 200 mg dose: Volume = 200 mg ÷ 300 mg/mL = 0.667 mL. Draw to the 66.7 line on a 100-unit insulin syringe. You can adjust these values in the ASCEND calculator for any vial size.
What does a Glutathione dosage calculator do?
A Glutathione dosage calculator converts your vial size and BAC water volume into an exact syringe draw in IU. Enter your vial strength (600 mg), reconstitution volume (2 mL), and target dose to get the precise line to draw on an insulin syringe.
What is the Glutathione reconstitution calculator formula?
Draw volume (mL) = Dose (mg) divided by Concentration (mg/mL). For a 600 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water: concentration = 300 mg/mL. For a 200 mg dose, the ASCEND calculator gives the exact IU line on your syringe instantly.
Peptide Intelligence
What is Glutathione's role as the master antioxidant?
Glutathione (GSH) is the body's primary endogenous antioxidant tripeptide (Glu-Cys-Gly). It directly neutralizes reactive oxygen species, regenerates vitamins C and E, is essential for glutathione peroxidase function, and facilitates phase II detoxification in the liver via glutathione-S-transferases.
Why is Glutathione administered by injection rather than orally?
Oral Glutathione is largely broken down in the GI tract before absorption. Subcutaneous or intravenous administration bypasses this barrier, delivering intact GSH directly to circulation. Injectable Glutathione produces significantly higher plasma levels than oral forms.
What are the documented effects of injectable Glutathione for skin?
High-dose injectable Glutathione is used in clinical practice in parts of Asia for skin lightening via inhibition of melanin synthesis, by quenching free radicals and downregulating tyrosinase. Subcutaneous protocols show similar effects at lower doses over longer durations.
