Master antioxidant supporting detoxification, immune function, and skin brightening.
TL;DR — Glutathione is a recovery & repair peptide with a typical starting dose of 200 mg. For a 600 mg vial, add 2 mL bacteriostatic water to yield 300 mg/mL.
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.

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.
