L-Glutathione

Updated April 28, 2026

Why People Choose L-Glutathione

  • Helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
  • Supports immune function as a key intracellular antioxidant.
  • May help support skin health and a brighter overall complexion.
  • Promotes overall cellular defense and recovery as part of a structured protocol.

L-Glutathione Mechanism of Action

L-Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant made from three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It helps neutralize reactive oxygen species and supports the body's antioxidant defense network, including enzymes involved in cellular detoxification. By helping maintain redox balance inside cells, L-Glutathione may support immune function, liver health, skin health, recovery, and protection against oxidative stress.

Reconstitution (Mixing)

  • L-Glutathione 500 mg vial - add 4 mL bacteriostatic water.
  • Gently swirl or roll the vial to mix. Do not shake.
  • With this mixture, 40 units in a 1 mL insulin syringe provides 50 mg.

  • Method: Subcutaneous (SQ) injection
  • Exact Units Per Injection: 40 units (50 mg)
  • Frequency: Once every 3rd day
  • Cycle Length: 4 weeks
