Glutathione 1500mg

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine, joined through an unusual gamma-glutamyl bond. Carrying CAS number 70-18-8 and a molecular weight of 307.32, it is the most abundant low-molecular-weight thiol found inside living cells. Sova supplies Glutathione UK as a 1500mg research vial intended purely for controlled laboratory investigation and analytical work by qualified researchers.

The reactive thiol group on its cysteine residue allows glutathione to donate electrons, cycling between a reduced (GSH) and an oxidised (GSSG) form. This redox couple positions the molecule as the principal intracellular antioxidant, buffering reactive oxygen species and helping maintain the cell's overall redox balance. It also serves as a substrate for glutathione S-transferase enzymes during phase II conjugation reactions studied in cellular biochemistry.

In the research literature glutathione is investigated for its role in antioxidant defence, redox signalling and cellular detoxification pathways. Laboratory studies examine how the GSH to GSSG ratio reflects oxidative stress within tissues and cell cultures. Its function as a cofactor in the enzymatic conjugation of xenobiotics also makes it a frequent reference compound in in-vitro detoxification and free-radical research.

Each batch of Sova glutathione is characterised by reverse-phase HPLC alongside ESI mass spectrometry, with results recorded on a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis. The lyophilised powder should be stored sealed, cool and protected from light and moisture, with long-term storage kept frozen.
