Overview
Your body’s master antioxidant.
Injected for liver support, brighter skin, and bouncing back from oxidative stress.
Mix it fresh, it breaks down fast.
What It Does
Master antioxidant tripeptide central to oxidative stress defence, liver detox, and immune function.
Directly neutralises ROS, regenerates vitamins C and E, supports liver Phase II detox, and maintains mitochondrial integrity.
Reconstitution
| Vial Size | BAC Water / Solvent | Concentration |
|---|---|---|
| 600 mg | + 1.2 mL | 500 mg/mL |
| 1500 mg | + 3 mL | 500 mg/mL |
Reconstitution Calculator
Enter the vial amount and diluent volume to calculate concentration. If you already have a target amount, you can also convert it to liquid volume and syringe markings. This tool does not recommend a target amount.
Enter a target amount you already have and select the syringe capacity.
Mathematical reference only. The calculator does not determine an appropriate target amount. Syringe capacity only changes the maximum volume that fits.
Protocol
| Phase | Frequency | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | Mon–Fri upper glute | 100 mg | Tolerance check at 100 mg. 5×/week = 500 mg/week. Watch for garlic taste, flushing, or injection-site sting. |
| Weeks 3–8 | Mon/Wed/Fri upper | 200 | Working dose ceiling (PeptideDosages canonical). 3×/week = 600 mg/week. Matches Empower/AgelessRx clinic 200 |
| Maintenance | 1–2×/week | 200 mg | Ongoing antioxidant support. Drop to once-weekly after the 8-week loading + working phase if benefit holds. |
| Off | 2–4 weeks | – | Essential break. Skipping leads to tolerance and diminishing returns. |
4 weeks on / 4 weeks off. Max: 12 weeks on / 4–8 weeks off. Hepatic methylation cycling supports best results with breaks.
Daily SubQ, reconstitute fresh; oxidizes within hours.
Unisex antioxidant, same protocol for men and women, no cycle effect. Confirm with a prescriber in pregnancy.
Handling & Stacking
- Freeze-dried: -4°F (stable long-term).
- Reconstituted: use fresh, do not store for weeks.
- Glutathione oxidizes to GSSG within hours at room temperature or once exposed to air/light; kept cold (36–46°F) and dark in the sealed amber vial it lasts only a few days.
- Discard the moment it yellows (that’s oxidation).
- Never room temperature; never freeze (ice crystals denature the tripeptide).
- Energy improvement and reduced oxidative fatigue within 2–4 weeks.
- Skin brightening reported by many users.
- Must reconstitute fresh, oxidises within hours of reconstitution.
- Supply math 600mg → 8 vials | 1500mg → 4 vials (8-wk @ 200 mg × 3/wk) Fresh-dose note: a reconstituted vial covers ~3 doses but would sit refrigerated across the week, if you want each dose truly fresh, reconstitute a smaller vial (or add less BAC water for fewer doses) more often rather than holding one vial for several days.
Safety & Patient Education
- Compound-specific: CBC baseline; liver enzymes (AST/ALT, bilirubin) and renal function (BUN/creatinine, eGFR) at baseline and periodically through any repeated IV course, especially above ~5 g/dose (documented hepatotoxicity signal), Out of range?
- Rising ALT/AST or bilirubin = hepatic stress from high-dose glutathione → cut the dose or space out the infusions; a falling eGFR = renal strain → hold and hydrate.
- Reconstitute immediately before use; discard unused, glutathione oxidizes within hours and is no longer active.
- Do not use during active cancer treatment without oncology coordination.
- Skin-lightening use is unproven and the FDA has issued safety warnings about compounded IV products marketed for that purpose.
